Every production site and supplier, both in the Netherlands and abroad, signs Schoenfabriek Van Bommel's Code of Conduct. This sets out the requirements suppliers must meet. The Code of Conduct contains agreements on business cooperation and matters such as child labour, working conditions, remuneration and the environment.
Child labour: The Van Bommel Group considers it unacceptable for companies producing goods for the Van Bommel Group to employ children below the legal minimum working age, as defined by national legislation. Where no legal minimum age is specified, the provisions of Article 2 of ILO Convention 138 apply.
Working conditions and wages: Manufacturers and suppliers are required to respect fundamental rights and the provisions of national legislation concerning employment.
Environment: In its Code of Conduct, Van Bommel sets environmental management requirements for its production partners. These include compliance with applicable environmental legislation and responsible handling of raw materials, chemicals and waste.
