Hoya as a group of companies has established a set of principles that guide our every
decision and action. In accordance with such principles, all employees as well as the
management of Hoya are absolutely committed to legal compliance and ethical practices.
All providers of goods and services, including but not limited to suppliers, vendors,
contractors, consultants and agents (all hereinafter referred to as “Suppliers”), who do
business with Hoya’s worldwide entities must comply with this Supplier Code of Conduct.
At a minimum, Suppliers must also require their next tier suppliers to acknowledge and
implement this Code.
Fundamental to this Code is the understanding that a business, in all of its activities and at
any time, must operate in full compliance with the laws, rules and regulations of the
countries in which it operates. Hoya expects the Suppliers to abide by such general rule
as a basis and precondition for the business relationship. Further and more specifically,
the following is required:
Forced, bonded or indentured labor, involuntary prison labor, slavery or trafficking of
persons shall not be used. We do not accept child labor, forced labor, or human trafficking
of any kind. Also, we will respect individual human rights and will not conduct business with
supply chains which engage in any form of child labor, forced labor, or human trafficking.
Suppliers commit to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in their
business and supply chains.
Suppliers shall not allow child labor in any stage of manufacturing. The term “child” refers
to any person under the age of 15, or under the age of completing compulsory education,
or under the minimum age for employment in the country, whichever is greatest. The use
of legitimate workplace learning programs, which comply with all laws and regulations, is
supported.
Young workers (under the age of 18) shall not perform work that is likely to jeopardize their
health or safety, including night shifts and overtime. Suppliers shall ensure proper
management of student workers through proper maintenance of student records, rigorous
due diligence of educational partners, and protection of students’ rights in accordance with
applicable law and regulations. Suppliers shall provide appropriate support and training to
all student workers. In the absence of local law, the wage rate for student workers, interns
and apprentices shall be at least the same wage rate as other entry-level workers
performing equal or similar tasks.
