SUPPLY CHAIN GOVERNANCE & POLICIES
At O’Neill, we actively work to be a fair and reliable business partner by cultivating long-term relationships founded on mutual trust and respect. These relationships play a key role to improving social dialogue and workers’ rights. We strive to achieve full Code Of Conduct compliance with our suppliers and complete visibility and transparency across our supply chain.
CODE OF CONDUCT
We aim for fair working conditions for everyone in the O’Neill Europe supply chain. Our Code Of Conduct is grounded in the principles of the ILO and the UN Declaration on Human Rights. It includes strict prohibitions on forced labour, child labour and discrimination. Furthermore, our Code Of Conduct incorporates the required standards for a proper and safe working environment, along with compliance with national laws in the countries we produce.
This commitment encompasses human treatment, the payment of minimum legal wages, adherence to working hours and the provision of guaranteed benefits. O’Neill Europe is part of several Multi-Stakeholder Initiatives and has been a member of amfori since 2009, with most of our factories audited according to the BSCI system.
TRANSPARENCY
Transparency is an essential tool within our responsible business conduct strategy and is crucial in preventing adverse impacts throughout our value chain.
In February 2021, O’Neill Europe signed the Transparency Pledge (transparencypledge.org) and published the details of our TIER I manufacturers on our website. Since then, we have consistently disclosed the list of suppliers, enabling customers and stakeholders to address issues in the supply chain. Our commitment to publishing our factory list is part of our transparency pledge, aimed at improving worker rights and amplifying their voices through cooperating with other brands, stakeholders, and relevant suppliers. In 2022, we expanded this listing to include TIER II manufacturers.
We have set a target to achieve 100% visibility for Tier I & II by 2025, with the goal of complete traceability to ensure the highest standards are upheld.
SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING
Our transparency pledge extends beyond the publication of our supply chain. We create yearly reports, describing where we stand towards sustainability, connecting our goals to the 17 United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and its 169 targets to enforce our ambition as we advance. We commit to our annual reporting cycle and look forward to further integrating reporting throughout our business with the upcoming CSRD.
