Social Compliance Program
Hbc’s social compliance program attempts to ensure that our products are produced in conditions that respect the human rights principles as reflected by the International Labour Organization and United Nations.
We take the protection of human rights very seriously, and we expect our vendors to share these ethical standards. We distribute a “Social Compliance Starter Kit: Policy and Procedures” to all existing and new vendors. The Starter Kit contains information about Hbc’s policies, the social compliance process, registration information and the Code of Vendor Conduct (CVC).
All domestic and direct import vendors are required to participate in Hbc’s Social Compliance program. Through Hbc’s Global Sourcing department, facilities that manufacture our merchandise are audited regularly by third party auditors to ensure compliance with our CVC.
We also work with Canadian and international retailers, retail industry associations and government to move this issue forward globally.
