THD验厂咨询-解读家得宝供应商政策之应对违规的硬手段与合作修复的软路径
Remediation and Termination 整改与终止
Factories with critical findings may be subject to immediate termination.
Examples include: 存在高危违规问题的工厂可能导致立刻终止合作关系,包括:
Use of workers under the legal age of employment 雇用低于法定工作年龄的员工
Any type of prison, bonded, indentured or forced labor 任何形式的监禁、抵押、契约或者是强迫劳动
Physical punishment or abuse 体罚或侮辱

Other issues/conditions determined to be Critical by The Home Depot 其他被家得宝认定为是高危违规的问题或情况
Termination of Suppliers 终止与供应商的合作关系
Suppliers that have a second factory terminated based on the above guidelines may be subject to termination of the overall business relationship between the Supplier and The Home Depot.
终止与供应商的合作关系如出现第二间工厂因违反以上指南而被终止合作关系的,供应商可能也将被全面终止与家得宝公司的商业合作关系。
Reinstatement after Termination 终止合作关系后的恢复
Must wait one (1) year from termination date before requesting reinstatement.必须在终止合作关系一年后进行恢复合作关系的申请。
Factory must demonstrate they have implemented a management system which addresses all of The Home Depot SER Standards. The systems will be audited by THD’s SER Team or THD’s designated representatives.
工厂必须证明其已执行符合家得宝公司SER标准的管理系统。管理系统将由家得宝公司SER团队或是家得宝公司委派的代表进行审核。
Achieve a grade of “B” or better from a social compliance audit firm that is scheduled by THD as part of the reactivation process
作为恢复合作关系的一个程序,工厂应通过家得宝公司安排的第三方审核且结果必须达到等级“B”或者更高。
If a factory does not achieve a “B” score or better, they may reapply for re-instatement after improving their compliance with THD SER standards. The factory must also wait a minimum of 3 months for grade a “C” and 6 months for a grade “F” from notice by THD of their failure to meet the reinstatement standards.
如果工厂未能达到”B”等级或者更好的等级,工厂可在整改好违规问题的基础上重新申请恢复合作关系。在收到家得宝公司关于未能满足恢复条件的通知后,“C”等级的工厂至少要再等3个月,“F”等级的工厂至少要再等6个月方可再申请恢复。
Effective since August 1st,2013. The purpose is to make sure THD audits are be conducted within expected SLA.该政策从2013年8月1日起开始执行。 其目的是为了确保家得宝供应商评审在规定时间内完成。
The service providers are expected to schedule and complete all audits within 14 days from the date of receiving the audit notification.第三方评审公司须在接到审核通知的14天内对审核进行排期并完成现场审核。
If the factory requests a date change more than the SLA, the SP will report to THD. If the request was not approved by THD, SP will execute the audit on original schedule and debit program will be launched. 如果工厂要求更换的审核日期超过协议规定的时限,第三方审核公司将通报给家得宝。如果工厂的申请未被家得宝批准,第三方审核公司仍将按照已安排的审核日期执行审核,同时垫资项目将被启动。
If payment is not received by the day of the audit, the audit will be conducted. SP will invoice THD for the cost of the audit on the first day of the following month. Payment will be required from the supplier prior to THD releasing POs. 如果在审核当日审核费用仍然没有支付,第三方审核公司将按计划进行审核并于次月的首日向家得宝出具审核发票。审核费用将在家得宝下订单前由供应商支付。
If the factory denies entry to the auditor and the auditor leaves, this will be considered a critical deficiency.
如果工厂在审核员到达工厂后仍然拒绝审核,将会被视为一个重大风险级的不符合。
