Ensure smaller suppliers are given fair consideration in our award of contracts, and when they are awarded business, they are supported to meet our exacting performance standards
Ensure all staff involved in establishing and managing supplier relationships are fully aware of our expectations for high standards of ethical behaviour and corporate citizenship

Working Environment

We do not work with factories in potentially hazardous conditions without regular adequate safety training or supervision. Adequate first aid provision must be readily accessible to all workers.
Work places must be well ventilated with comfortable, well lit work stations. No workers may be subject to unsafe or unhealthy working conditions (including dangerous machinery, unsafe building structure or lay-out, and hazardous chemicals and substances) and all necessary safety equipment must be provided without charge.
Factories and work sites used by All In One Merchandise must be safe and hygienic with an adequate number of accessible and clearly marked fire exits from all buildings (including production and storage facilities, and office and domestic accommodation used by employees).
Living accommodation, where provided, must be in buildings that are separate from other areas of the workplace and must have an adequate fire alarm system. Our factories must provide clean bathrooms, access to drinking water, and appropriate food storage facilities.
Documentation and Inspection
