Child Labour Policy Coze Aarhus AIS (in the following referred to as Coze) does not tolerate any form of child labour or forced labour. Manufacturers and suppliers in our supply chain must live up to the international standards of ILO (International Labour Organization). Coze is a member of amfori BSCI, and our Child Labour Policy is reflected in our use of the amfori BSCI Code of Conduct. use of child labour or young workers, to a degree that conflicts with the law, may not occur at any time. By signing, our suppliers are not only adhering to standards in their own operations but also ensuring that their sub- suppliers/contractors are compliant. We use supplier audits as an integrated part of our supplier management process to help identify risks and compliance gaps. We use 3rd party auditors and perform amfori BSCI audits and follow up according to their procedures. Coze requires that business partners have effective control procedures, such as age verification of applicants, requiring valid identification.
