SOCIAL COMPLIANCE
Pottz Surfboards has had in place global social compliance programs, led by our people and our brands setting the expectation for social compliance. Our approach is as follows.
CHILD LABOR
Does not engage in or support the use of child labour. Suppliers and Contractors must not recruit child labour.
FORCED AND COMPULSORY LABOR
Employment is freely chosen. There is no forced, bonded, indentured or involuntary prison labour. Workers are not required to pay fees or lodge “deposits” or original identity papers with their employer and are free to leave their employer after reasonable notice.
WORKING CONDITIONS
A safe and hygienic working environment is provided, bearing in mind the prevailing knowledge of the industry and of any specific hazards. Adequate steps are taken to prevent accidents and injury to health arising out of, associated with, or occurring in the course of work, by minimising, so far as is reasonably practicable, the causes of hazards inherent in the working environment. Applicable occupational Health and Safety regulations are adhered to, and a working environment which is safe and conducive to good health shall be provided.
Access to clean toilet facilities and to potable water, and, sanitary facilities for food storage shall is provided.
DISCRIMINATION
There is no discrimination in hiring, compensation, access to training, promotion, termination or retirement based on race, caste, nationality, origin, religion, age, disability, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, union membership or political affiliation.
DISCIPLINARY PRACTICES
