PVH CODE OF CONDUCT --- NON-DISCRIMINATION

(PVH 行為守則---非歧視)

A Shared Commitment 一個共享的承諾

Our business partners cannot discriminate in employment, including with regard to hiring, compensation, advancement, discipline, termination and retirement, whether on the basis of gender, race, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, nationality, political opinion, social class or ethnic origin.

WHat does it Mean?  這意味著什么？

Discrimination occurs when a person is treated differently, either favorably or unfavorably, due to personal

characteristics such as religion, age, disability, gender, race, sexual orientation, caste, marital status,

or union or political membership or affiliation the non- discrimination standard will apply throughout the

entire life cycle of the employee, for example; during the recruitment and hiring process, in making salary

and promotion decisions, or in termination the purpose of the standard is to ensure equality of treatment and

opportunity for all workforces regardless of location

What do You need to do? 你需要做什么？

Discrimination can be deeply rooted in some countries or cultures, and can lead to an underclass of workers who

lack opportunities to develop and improve, or to earn enough to support themselves or their families discrimination

must be prohibited in any form and all businesses must ensure:

? all hiring, compensation, promotion, termination and retirement practices and access to training should be

based solely on a person’s ability to perform the job effectively

? Compliance with law regarding designated categories of employees (e g special treatment of the physically

impaired, veterans and protected minorities)

? Protection of women’s rights

BUSINESS BENEFITS OF NON-DISCRIMINATORY POLICIES 非歧視政策的商業利益

Promoting a diverse workforce is good for business. Discriminatory practices restrict the available pool of

workers and skills. Companies with a wide range of experiences, perspectives, and cultural understandings

within the organization are typically more creative, innovative, and productive. Productivity will also be

improved due to increased employee morale, job satisfaction and reduced turnover. Additionally, having a

diverse workforce can increase penetration into some markets, based on the image which their workforce

gives to potential and actual customers.
