Marc Jacobs International, L.L.C. (together with its affiliated companies and subsidiaries, "MJI" or "we") is a multi-national fashion company with retail and supply chain operations across the globe with more than 1,000 employees globally. MJI is a Delaware limited liability company with headquarters in New York, New York, USA.
MJI conducts its manufacturing with trusted finished goods and materials vendors from around the world. We are committed to conducting business in a lawful, ethical, and responsible manner. We expect our vendors to respect and adhere to the same business philosophy in the operation of their businesses. We believe that conducting business in an ethical and legal way is our collective responsibility.
In compliance with the requirements of the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657), the U.K. Modern Slavery Act of 2015, and the Canadian Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, this document describes the steps MJI takes to ensure slavery, human trafficking, and child labor are not occurring in our supply chain and business operations.
MJI considers any form of slavery, human trafficking, or child labor to be abhorrent, and we are committed to acting with integrity and appropriate transparency in our business dealings, including by developing effective controls to safeguard against the risk of slavery, human trafficking, or child labor. As part of this ongoing commitment, we take the following steps to prevent slavery, human trafficking, and child labor in our supply chain and business operations:
• Policies: MJI is committed to act with integrity in all of our business dealings, promote ethical conduct, enhance compliance with applicable laws, and provide guidance with respect to business conduct. To such ends, MJI has adopted a human rights policy in the MJI Employee Handbook and the MJI Supplier (i.e., Vendor) Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “MJI Code”). The MJI Code is updated annually and our manufacturing vendors are required to confirm their adherence to the updated policies every year. In addition, MJI's parent company, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE ("LVMH"), has adopted a Business Partner Code of Conduct [https://www.lvmh.com/en/ethics-and-compliance/lvmh-supplier-code-of-conduct] and Code of Conduct [https://www.lvmh.com/en/ethics-and-compliance/the-lvmh-code-of-conduct]. These polices apply to third-party vendors and all MJI employees (respectively) and, among other issues, address the prohibition of slavery, human trafficking, and child labor. These policies also describe our commitments in other ethics and compliance areas, including the elimination of employment discrimination and harassment, a zero-tolerance policy towards human trafficking, the abolition of child labor, promotion of health and safety for employees and vendors, fighting corruption, and preserving and respecting the environment. Under these policies suppliers are required to adhere to all applicable labor laws. Failure to comply, when appropriate or required by law, may result in MJI informing regulatory authorities of such conduct.
• Risk Assessment and Due Diligence: MJI engages in multiple internal and external actions to identify, assess, and manage the risk of slavery and human trafficking in our supply chain and business operations. Our verification procedures include a risk assessment of vendors based on their geography, industry, business impact, and information gathered from outside organizations such as industry groups. All vendors are also subject to a heightened third-party due diligence process through an external screening system.
MJI audits certain finished goods and materials vendors for compliance with the MJI Code. For auditing purposes, MJI engages external third-party compliance firms to perform semi-announced assessments of vendors. Following an audit or re-audit, vendors are required to address any non-compliance deficiencies identified. A vendor's failure to address and correct such deficiencies will result in a re-evaluation of MJI's business relationship with the vendor and possible disciplinary action, up to termination of the vendor's business relationship with MJI.MJI regularly maps its supply chain and evaluates its finished goods and materials vendors to determine the origin of its raw materials and evaluate the risk of forced labor based on the origin of the raw materials.
MJI regularly maps its supply chain and evaluates its finished goods and materials vendors to determine the origin of the raw materials use in its supply chain and evaluate the risk of forced labor based on the origin of the raw materials.
MJI has not identified any instances of forced or child labor; therefore, remediation is not applicable. As such, MJI has not taken any steps to remediate instances of forced labor or the loss of income to any vulnerable families resulting from measures taken to eliminate labor abuses.
• Certifications: MJI requests that its finished goods and materials vendors certify their compliance with the MJI Code. We also request that these vendors complete a questionnaire so that we can further gauge the vendor's risk of slavery or human trafficking abuses. A vendor’s failure to adhere to these requirements may result in disciplinary action, up to termination of the vendor's business relationship with MJI. Our certification requirements are regularly updated in accordance with industry standards and applicable laws.
• Effectiveness: The importance of respecting human rights is the foundation of MJI’s policies. All finished goods and materials vendors are required to confirm their adherence to the MJI Code prior to the commencement of their work with MJI. MJI will not engage with any vendor who refuses to certify its adherence to the policies. In addition, MJI does not permit retaliation, whether direct or indirect, against suppliers for reporting, in good faith, suspected violations of the MJI Code.
In addition, MJI maintains internal accountability standards for its employees. As mentioned, all MJI employees must follow the MJI Employee Handbook and LVMH Code of Conduct. All employees are required to sign an annual commitment to the principles set forth in the LVMH Code of Conduct, including their commitment to act responsibly with regards to human rights and the eradication of child labor. We also have internal and external reporting mechanisms for MJI employees to report possible compliance and ethics violations, including slavery, human trafficking, and child labor. Employees are encouraged to file reports with human resources. In addition to internal grievance mechanisms, MJI has adopted LVMH’s anonymous reporting hotline, Alert Line (https://alertline.lvmh.com), which is open for reporting of any ethical violations. Alert Line is open to both MJI employees as well as external third parties. Providing vendors with this anonymous reporting mechanism decreases the risk that any slavery, human trafficking, and child labor occurs within MJI’s supply chain. Representatives of the human resources, legal and compliance teams collect and review all submitted cases and ensure they are comprehensively investigated and responded to.
• Training: MJI does not provide specific forced labor training; however, MJI provides various trainings to its employees with direct responsibility for supply chain management. The trainings focus on helping MJI employees prevent, detect, and respond to compliance issues. In this regard, the training covers evaluating risk based on geography and industry, common indicia for violations, and seeking help when potential violations are detected.
• Governance: MJI’s Ethics & Compliance Committee comprises of cross-functional senior executives including MJI’s Chief Executive Officer. The Committee regularly meets to discuss major ethics and compliance matters and to ensure that its efforts are reducing the risk of any ethical violations including slavery, human trafficking, and child labor within MJI’s operations. MJI also has a production and supply chain taskforce that meets on a monthly basis to discuss environmental and social impacts in our supply chain. This taskforce consists of global representatives in various departments including legal, logistics, production, procurement, product development, planning, and supply chain operations.
MJI will continue to review and, where possible, improve our efforts to prevent the risk of slavery, human trafficking, and child labor in our supply chain and business operations. MJI will continue to have a zero-tolerance policy towards these labor abuses, take actions against any suppliers in violation of our policies and report any violations to authorities, as required by law.
