Operations and supp-
liers in which the right to
freedom of association
and collective bargai-
ning may be at risk An increased risk of limited association freedom of association and
collective bargaining lays in the product supply chain, in particular factories and
subcontractors in risk countries. Operations and supp-
liers at significant risk for
incidents of child labor An increased risk for incidents of child labour lays further down in the supply
chain, where the control is limited. In order to gain more knowledge, education
and advice on how children and young people are affected in the global supply
chain, New Wave Group is a part of CCR CSR’s (Save the Children’s Sustaina-
bility Center in China) Virtual Youth Development Working Group. Operations and supp-
liers at significant risk for
incidents of forced or
compulsory labor An increased risk of forced or compulsory labor lays in the product supply chain,
in particular factories and subcontractors in risk countries. 103-1/2 Management Approach,
414 The assessment of social aspects of supplies is a challenge, not just for us but
for the entire industry. All suppliers acknowledge the Code of Conduct as part
of the Business Agreement and an assessment of social aspects must be done
before the first purchase order. The assessment is done either through self-as-
sessment, an internal audit or a third-party audit (amfori BSCI or equivalent). Our
goal is to include all our suppliers located in risk countries in amfori BSCI or an
equal monitoring system. 414-1 New suppliers that were
