BETTER WORK PROGRAM PARTICIPATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Walt Disney Company supports the Better Work program. Better Work is a partnership between the International Labour Organization and the International Finance Corporation that brings together governments, employers, workers, and international buyers to improve compliance with labor standards and promote competitiveness in global supply chains. Better Work currently operates in Cambodia, Haiti, Indonesia, Jordan, Lesotho, Nicaragua, and Vietnam.
Disney strongly encourages participation in Better Work, where available. Participation in Better Work may lead to reduced monitoring due to wide acceptance among brands and retailers of Better Work assessments and more sustained compliance with labor standards as a result of Better Work’s training and remediation programs. In certain Permitted Sourcing Countries, Disney may require that Facilities participate in Better Work as a condition of using the Facilities for Disney branded production. In these Permitted Sourcing Countries, locations that do not participate in the Better Work program cannot be used for Disney branded production or to source products, components, or materials for Disney branded products. (See Appendix 8:Permitted Sourcing Countries (PSC) for more information.) This restriction currently applies to Facilities in Cambodia and Haiti in the following manner:
CAMBODIA:
Only assessments from Better Factories Cambodia will be accepted for apparel Facilities
and, in some cases, footwear Facilities that are eligible for the Better Work program.
HAITI:
Only Facilities participating in the Better Work Haiti program will be eligible for the FAMA
application and only assessments from Better Work Haiti will be accepted.
In addition, for Facilities that already participate in Better Work in other countries, Licensees and Vendors
should only make available Better Work assessments for consideration by Disney. Beginning August 1, 2015,
assessments of Better Work participating Facilities that were conducted against other audit standards or con-
ducted by a non-Better Work assessor will not be accepted for consideration by Disney.
