At IMA Concept, respect for people is the foundation of the way we do business. Across all of our operations we are guided by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the core conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO), and we uphold these principles both within our own team and across all of the production partners and business partners we work with. Our human rights policy is designed to ensure that everyone whose work contributes to our supply chain works in dignified, safe and fair conditions.
Prohibition of Forced Labour and Child Labour
At no point in our supply chain is forced, bonded or involuntary labour accepted. The employment relationship is established by the free will of both parties, and workers are free to leave their jobs in accordance with statutory notice periods. We tolerate child labour under no circumstances and expect the production partners we work with to fully comply with legal minimum-age requirements.
Non-Discrimination and Equal Treatment
In recruitment, remuneration, promotion and training, no discrimination is made on the basis of race, colour, language, religion, gender, age, marital status, disability, union membership or political opinion. All decisions are taken on the basis of merit, experience and performance.
Our Commitments on Working Conditions
- We expect workers' freedom of association and their right to collective bargaining to be respected.
- Wages are never below the legal minimum wage, and overtime is compensated in accordance with the law.
- Working hours are kept within legal limits; rest breaks and annual leave entitlements are applied in full.
- Physical, verbal and psychological harassment and any form of ill-treatment are strictly prohibited in the workplace.
- Everyone across our sourcing network works in a safe and healthy working environment.
Grievance Mechanisms
Our employees can raise suggestions, concerns and complaints through suggestion boxes, our open-door practice or the Human Resources department, without any fear of retaliation. Every report is examined and resolved in confidence, and the necessary corrective steps are taken without delay. Senior management is responsible for the implementation of this policy, which is reviewed at regular intervals.
