In developing this policy, we have sought to use standards that are appropriate to diverse cultures and encourage workers to take pride in their work. We have found that these standards result in higher quality working environments and in higher quality products.

Compliance with our standards is a condition for becoming and remaining a business partner of Lands' End. If Lands' End has determined that any business partner has violated its Standards of Business Conduct, we will either require the business partner to implement a corrective action plan or terminate the business relationship. If corrective action is advised but not taken, Lands' End will suspend placement of future orders and may terminate current production.
In all of our dealings with our partners, we comply with our own Lands' End Code of Conduct and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. We take special care in selecting partners who follow fair, decent and legal labor practices, agree to our Standards of Business Conduct, and are dedicated to producing a quality product.

Wages and Benefits: Workers must be paid wages and benefits which at a minimum comply with any applicable law and match the prevailing local industry practices.

Forced or Compulsory Labor: Forced or compulsory labor, as well as use of corporal punishment will not be tolerated.
