TJX验厂评估等级划分——英文版

TJX has developed four grades to assess a supplier’scompliance with the Code: Satisfactory,

Needs Improvement, Unsatisfactory, and Zero Tolerance.After each audit, inspectors will meet

with factory management to review the audit findings,the grade that was assessed, and any

corrective actions that are required to comply withthe Code. Each grade carries specific

timeframes for corrections to be made and re-auditdates.

Satisfactory

The factory’smanagement and manufacturing practices meet the requirements set out by the

Code and Local Law

No correctiveactions are required at this time.

On-site visitswill take place on a bi-annual basis.

Needs Improvement

Most of thefactory’s management and manufacturing practices meet the requirements set out

by the Code.

Lesserinfractions were found during the audit, and corrective actions are required toresolve

these issues. Please refer to the CAP forrecommendations on how to correct these problems.

Re-audit willtake place in 120 days. We expect that all corrective actions in the CAP will

have been fully implemented or will be significantlyunder way by this time.

Unsatisfactory

Many of thefactory’s management and manufacturing practices DO NOT meet the

requirements set out by the Code.

Seriousinfractions were found during the audit, and corrective actions are required toresolve

these issues. Please refer to the CAP forrecommendations on how to correct these problems.

Re-audit willtake place in 120 days. We expect that all corrective actions in the CAP will

have been fully implemented or will be significantlyunder way by this time.

Zero Tolerance

The following auditfindings are completely unacceptable and may lead to an immediate

suspension or termination of business with TJX:

o Children working in violation of local laws or TJXCode

o Slave or forced labor

o Prison labor

o Physical or mental abuse

o No payment of wages

o No time records

o Imminent hazardous working conditions

o Use of globally and/or country specific outlawedchemicals

o Incomplete audit results due to denied access thatresult in inspectors arriving at a facility

unable to conduct a full audit

Facilitiesgraded as Zero Tolerance will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Each re-audit must demonstrate measurable improvementfrom the prior audit. TJX reserves the

right to suspend or terminate business with a factoryat any time, including based on audit or reaudit

findings. If a factory receives three consecutivenon-compliant grades (Unsatisfactory or

Zero Tolerance), it will be considered strong evidencethat required improvements are not being

made. In this event, TJX reserve the right to suspendor terminate business with this factory.
