Montblanc

Company of the Richemont Group
 
Supplier Code of Conduct

 
Page 40 of 52

 

Model Supplier Code of Conduct

Montblanc and all companies of the Richemont Group relationships with all business partners - suppliers, sub-contractors and business allies - are based on fair, honest and mutually rewarding dealings contributing to high quality standards of products and services.

Montblanc and all companies of the Richemont Group therefore requires that all their business partners adhere to basic ethical values and ensure the compliance of their own operations with the principles and practices outlined below. Wherever feasible, suppliers should seek to ensure that these principles are communicated to sub-contractors and suppliers of suppliers.

Labour relationships and employment practices

General principle

Suppliers should adopt and apply fair and ethical labour practices respecting internationally recognised fundamental human rights standards, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, all international covenants and International Labour Organisation conventions.

Healthy and safe working conditions

Suppliers will provide a safe and healthy working environment for their employees in accordance with applicable local laws and any specific regulations within industries in which they operate. Appropriate procedures should be in place to prevent accidents and injury to health arising from, linked to, or occurring during work activities or as a result of the operations of manufacturing facilities. Suppliers shall be encouraged to have a nominated health and safety representative who monitors their facilities' compliance with these requirements.

Wages and Working Hours

Suppliers should comply with local laws relative to minimum wages, standard working hours and employee benefits. Overtime hours will be voluntary and fully compensated at regular or premium rates, according to local legal requirements.

In special circumstances employees may be expected to work longer than standard hours for limited periods of time. Where this occurs, additional working hours and consecutive working days will be in compliance with the local regulations and planned in a way to ensure safe and humane working conditions.

Freedom of Association

Suppliers should not prevent employees from associating freely with any lawful and peaceful workers' or collective bargaining association. In the case where the local labour laws restrict these freedoms, the supplier is encouraged to facilitate parallel means of independent and free association and bargaining for the personnel.

No Discrimination

Suppliers should not subject any person to discrimination in employment; including hiring, wages, benefits, advancement, discipline, termination or retirement, on the basis of: race, colour, caste, origin, nationality, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation, union membership, political affiliation or age.

No Child Labour

Suppliers will not employ persons younger than 15 years of age or younger than the age for completing compulsory education where this is more than 15 in the relevant country.

 
Page 41 of 52

 

Suppliers must comply with all their local legal requirements for young workers, particularly those pertaining to hours of work, wages, health, safety and general working conditions. A young worker is defined as any worker over the age of 15 and under the age of 18.

No Forced Employment

Suppliers will not use any forced labour, whether in the form of prison labour, indentured labour, bonded labour or otherwise. Forced labour should be considered to include any work or service, which is imposed under the threat of penalty for non-performance or for which overall terms of employment are not voluntary.

No Disciplinary treatment

Suppliers should not subject any person to harassment, corporal punishment, and/or threat of violence and will prohibit the use of monetary fines or any forms of mental or physical abuse, coercion, or intimidation.

Responsible environmental management

Suppliers will fully comply with local legislation and industrial regulations and should endeavour to comply with the principles outlined in the Richemont Environmental Code of Conduct.

Industry specific issues

Endangered or protected species

Suppliers should fully comply with special international and local regulations, for example the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES), related to the procurement, import, usage and export of raw materials sourced from endangered or protected species.

 
Page 42 of 52

 

Leather finished products manufacturing

Suppliers involved in the leather tanning and finishing sector should apply within their operations the European Leather Association (COTANCE) policies that relate to labour rights, worker health and safety, environmental impacts and customer health and safety.

Perfumes and Cosmetic products

Suppliers involved in the perfumes and cosmetics industry will comply with the European Council Directive 76/768/EEC, which seeks to ensure that no harmful substances are used in such products.

Animal testing

Suppliers should adhere to the principles of Corporate Standards of Compassion for Animals ensuring that no animal testing is conducted or commissioned during any stage of product development or manufacture.

Product information and labelling

Suppliers will communicate honestly regarding the nature of the products they supply including raw materials, handling and disposal. All product related matters, especially regarding chemicals, GMOs or hazardous materials, will be accurately disclosed as required by local and international laws and/or commonly used standards in the industry in which they operate.

Country of origin of product components

Suppliers may be asked to provide Montblanc with information as to the country of origin and the name of the sources of components and raw materials included in the products being delivered.

There will be no change to the source of components or raw materials or the location of component production without Montblanc’s prior written agreement.

Conflict - free diamonds procurement

The companies of the Richemont Group adheres to responsible diamond procurement practices as a member of the diamond industry and requires all its Suppliers to fully adhere to the principles of the World Diamond Council Resolution on Industry Self-Regulation supporting the Kimberley Process.

The World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB) and the International Diamond Manufacturers Association (IDMA), together with their constituent and affiliated members, have created a voluntary system of diamond industry self - regulation in order to comply and support government undertakings of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) for rough diamonds.

The principles of the diamond industry self-regulation initiatives are based on the voluntary creation of a chain of written warranties from invoice to invoice of all transactions involving the purchase and sale of diamonds and their cutting and polishing. Montblanc requires all suppliers to comply the Kimberley-Process.

Ethical business principles

General principles

Suppliers should act according to a “spirit of trust” regarding ethical business principles. They thus acknowledge that basic business principles related to trade secrets, respect for intellectual property, sincerity, truthfulness, transparency and maintaining promises contribute to credible, stable and sustainable business relationships with Richemont and its Maisons.

 
Page 43 of 52

 

Gifts and Gratuities

Suppliers should not offer to their contacts within the Group any inducements, kickbacks, bribes or other payments that may compromise the making of objective and fair business decisions.

Special regulations

Suppliers will ensure that any production, delivery or other action subject to obtaining specific governmental, legal or regulatory permissions may only be undertaken when those permissions have been granted.

Application and Compliance

General principle

Montblanc expects its suppliers to communicate the principles of the Model Supplier Code of Conduct to their employees, sub-contractors and any other third parties with whom they do business so as to ensure the principles are integrated into their operations.

Page 46 of 52

 

Richemont Environmental Code of Conduct

As a member of the global community, Richemont strives to act as a responsible corporate citizen carrying out its business activities in a manner that is consistent with the protection of the environment and the sustainable utilisation of natural resources.
Through the nature of Richemont’s products and services, the Group is not directly involved in sectors considered as having a highly significant impact on the environment. Nevertheless, the various Maisons make extensive use of renewable and non-renewable raw materials, such as precious and gem stones, gold, leather, woods and natural resins and Richemont therefore seeks to address environment related issues throughout its global supply chain and business operations.

The principles outlined in this Environmental Code of Conduct confirm Richemont’s commitment to environmental stewardship in line with national and international norms and standards for environmental management. Richemont therefore requires all its employees, to contribute to its environmental performance by adopting the principles and practices outlined below.

The responsibility for the implementation of the Environmental Code of Conduct within the Group worldwide will be assigned to the general manager of each facility.

Awareness and training

As part of the implementation of the Environmental Code of Conduct, Richemont will communicate its environmental policy to all employees, suppliers and other stakeholders.

Facilities and operations

Richemont will develop, design and operate facilities and conduct activities taking into consideration the environmental issues in order to minimise the adverse impacts on the environment.

Facilities

Richemont will ensure that construction, conversion, modernisation and other building work at each facility will be performed in compliance with local environmental legislation, norms and regulations and executed in harmony with the environmental surroundings.

Energy and water use

Richemont will monitor the consumption of water, energy, oil, natural resources and other materials used in its operations with a view to optimise their usage and minimising waste. This includes heating, lighting, ventilation and air-cooling.

Management and employees responsible for the packing and transport of goods will adopt, wherever possible, an “efficient energy use” strategy by careful planning, organisation and grouping of the shipments.

Emissions, effluents

Facilities will ensure strict compliance with legal environmental norms and specific industrial regulations relative to pollution control by installing appropriate retention and filter systems

Facilities will monitor and control greenhouse gas emissions, ozone-depleting substance emissions, waste water discharges and any other relevant emissions resulting from the manufacturing operations in accordance with local regulation and industry best practice.

Waste recycling

Richemont will monitor waste collection and recycling by type with special attention being paid to the treatment of hazardous materials. Wherever feasible, materials will be recycled.

Endangered or protected species

Richemont will fully comply with special international and local regulations such as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) related to the procurement, import, usage and export of raw materials issued from endangered or protected species.

Leather products manufacturing

Richemont entities will adhere to the principles established by the European Leather Association in terms of the production of leather goods (COTANCE) regarding employee and customer health and safety and aim at minimising the adverse environmental Impact of the production processes.

Perfumes and cosmetic products

Group companies will comply with EU legislation in terms of the production of perfumes and cosmetics products. (European Council Directive 76/768/EEC)

Animal testing

The Group will adhere to the principles of Corporate Standards of Compassion for Animals, seeking to ensure that no materials used in its products have been tested or caused harm to animals.

Conflict-free diamonds

Richemont adheres to the principles of the  “World Diamond Council Resolution on Industry self-regulation” by the introduction of written warranties throughout the whole supply chain from the supplier until the final customer. Richemont will explicitly state the “conflict-free diamond” warranty statement on its internal invoices and will require it from all suppliers as soon as possible.

No “dirty gold”

Richemont adheres to the principles of responsible gold procurement. To the extent feasible under prevailing industry practices, Richemont will request that its suppliers provide assurance as far as that gold being supplied has been mined in a manner which respects human and labour rights and does not inflict environmental damage, either directly or through the subsequent pollution through seepage of chemicals.

With respect to internal manufacturing operations involving gold and other precious metals, Richemont facilities will operate in full compliance with local laws and regulations and seek to apply industry-wide best practice in the handling of such materials.

Product stewardship

Richemont Maisons aim to reach technically and economically viable objectives and apply, wherever appropriate, a “design for environment” approach in order to optimise the environmental performance of their products through the product lifecycle.

The nature of Richemont Maison’s products – watches, jewellery, leather goods, writing instruments, apparel and other high range accessories - requires high packaging quality standards. However, possible, recyclable and renewable raw materials will be used for packaging.

Materials used for storage and transportation will be made, wherever possible, of recycled and recyclable materials and re-used wherever possible.

As part of after-sales maintenance and repair services mainly related to watch products, Richemont customer services worldwide will secure the replacement, storage and appropriate disposal of any components, including for electronic circuits and batteries, which may have an adverse impact on the environment.

Precautionary approach

Richemont Maisons will seek to make all necessary adjustments to design, manufacturing or use of products or services, consistent with the latest scientific and technical knowledge, to prevent any adverse impact on health, safety or the environment arising from the production process or from products themselves.

Richemont will develop and maintain, where significant hazard related risks exist, emergency preparedness plans in conjunction with the relevant services and authorities.

Suppliers and other stakeholders

Richemont will encourage its Suppliers to adhere to principles outlined in this Model Environmental Code of Conduct and promote, where appropriate, necessary improvements in their practices to make them consistent with those of the Group.

As part of open dialogue with the Stakeholders; any potential concern or proposal for improvement with respect to the environmentally responsible practices should be reported to directly to senior management.

Monitoring, evaluation and compliance

The Group will regularly monitor the performance of its manufacturing facilities in terms of compliance with this Code.

Any material non-compliance with these guidelines may be reported on an anonymous basis to the Head of Internal Audit at ***@***. Internal Audit will then assess the problem and review appropriate corrective action in conjunction with the management of the facility concerned.

Regular updates

This Model Environmental Code of Conduct will be revised and updated on an ad hoc basis to address continuing requirements of responsible environmental management as they arise.
