Empower people

Eton takes appropriate measures to prevent direct or indirect violations of human rights, labor laws, environmental laws, competition laws and anti-corruption laws. In order to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations, fair working conditions, fair pay, freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining agreement and anti-corruption, Eton’s Code of Conduct is integrated in all our agreements with suppliers. It is aligned with the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact and the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as with International Labor Organization Conventions, the UN Convention against Corruption, and the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development.

Our commitment

Advocating inclusion & diversity, year by year.
Map the wage levels at 100% of our main suppliers in production.
Work with our sewing factories to provide their workers with a fair wage, year by year.

Wage levels in supply chain

Our Code of Conduct requires fair wages and compliance with local regulations. We have established a baseline and an understanding of wage levels at the facilities in relation to minimum wage and country averages. At the time of audit either by our Sustainability team or a third-party auditor, the auditor reviews whether employees receive a pay slip and if payments are made correctly in accordance with legal requirements, including pension and tax, and that employees receive paid annual leave and that social insurance payments are made to the relevant authorities.

Inclusion and diversity

Eton connects workplaces in different countries and co-workers of different genders, ages, and backgrounds. Actively working with inclusion and diversity in the workplace is a natural part of our HR function. However, we do not collect any data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political or religious beliefs, trade union membership or any other data that is prohibited under the EU law GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

ESG Audits

We conduct audits to ensure that our suppliers and partners meet our health and safety standards, labor practices, and environmental compliance. Our focus is on worker wellbeing, and we strive to ensure that our partners follow local labor laws while upholding the principles of ethical business practices.

The following focus areas are assessed:

Business practices
Environmental management
Management systems
Work environment facilities
Emergency response capabilities
Mechanical operation safety
Document and record keeping
Worker feedback and participation

Review and improvement measures
Child labor
Forced labor
Discrimination, harassment and abuse
Workers' freedom of association
Labor contracts Wages and working hours
Waste and gas emissions
Compliance with regulatory requirements

During each audit, we examine and assess several key areas, where each area is scored. Additionally, we compare the results to global and local averages, such as the minimum and average wage in the country, to ensure a fair understanding of the scores, including health and safety, and environmental compliance.
