Version 2.0.1 October 2007

ELECTRONIC INDUSTRY CODE OF CONDUCT


The Electronic Industry Code of Conduct outlines standards to ensure that working
conditions in the electronics industry supply chain are safe, that workers are treated with
respect and dignity, and that manufacturing processes are environmentally responsible.

Considered as part of the electronics industry for purposes of this Code are Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) firms and
Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) including contracted labor that may design,
market, manufacture and/or provide goods and services that are used to produce
electronic goods. The Code may be voluntarily adopted by any business in the electronics
sector and subsequently applied by that business to its supply chain and subcontractors.

To adopt the Code and become a participant (鈥淧articipant鈥?), a business shall declare its
support for the Code and seek to conform to the Code and its standards in accordance
with a management system as set forth in the Code.

For the Code to be successful, it is acknowledged that Participants should regard the code
as a total supply chain initiative. At a minimum, participants shall require its next tier
suppliers to acknowledge and implement the Code.

Fundamental to adopting the Code is the understanding that a business, in all of its
activities, must operate in full compliance with the laws, rules and regulations of the
鹿countries in which it operates. The Code encourages Participants to go beyond legal
compliance, drawing upon internationally recognized standards, in order to advance
social and environmental responsibility.

The Electronic Industry Code Participants are committed to obtaining regular input from
stakeholders in the continued development and implementation of the Electronic Industry
Code of Conduct (EICC).

The Code is made up of five sections. Sections A, B, and C outline standards for Labor,
Health and Safety, and the Environment, respectively. Section D outlines the elements of
an acceptable system to manage conformity to this Code. Section E adds standards
relating to business ethics.

A. LABOR
Participants are committed to uphold the human rights of workers, and to treat them with
dignity and respect as understood by the international community.

Recognized standards such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), Social
Accountability International (SAI) and the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) were used as
references in preparing the Code and may be a useful source of additional information.

The labor standards are:

1) Freely Chosen Employment
Forced, bonded or indentured labor or involuntary prison labor is not to be used. All
work will be voluntary, and workers should be free to leave upon reasonable notice.
Workers shall not be required to hand over government-issued identification,
passports or work permits as a condition of employment.
2) Child Labor Avoidance
Child labor is not to be used in any stage of manufacturing. The term 鈥渃hild鈥? refers
to any person employed under the age of 15 (or 14 where the law of the country
permits), or under the age for completing compulsory education, or under the
minimum age for employment in the country, whichever is greatest. The use of
legitimate workplace apprenticeship programs, which comply with all laws and
regulations, is supported. Workers under the age of 18 should not perform
hazardous work and may be restricted from night work with consideration given to
educational needs.
3) Working Hours
Studies of business practices clearly link worker strain to reduced productivity,
increased turnover and increased injury and illness. Workweeks are not to exceed
the maximum set by local law. Further, a workweek should not be more than 60
hours per week, including overtime, except in emergency or unusual situations.
Workers shall be allowed at least one day off per seven-day week.
4) Wages and Benefits
Compensation paid to workers shall comply with all applicable wage laws,
including those relating to minimum wages, overtime hours and legally mandated
benefits. In compliance with local laws, workers shall be compensated for overtime
at pay rates greater than regular hourly rates. Deductions from wages as a
disciplinary measure shall not be permitted. The basis on which workers are being
paid is to be provided in a timely manner via pay stub or similar documentation.

A. LABOR (con鈥檛.)
5) Humane Treatment
There is to be no harsh and inhumane treatment, including any sexual harassment,
sexual abuse, corporal punishment, mental or physical coercion or verbal abuse of
workers: nor is there to be the threat of any such treatment.
6) Non-Discrimination
Participants should be committed to a workforce free of harassment and unlawful
discrimination. Companies shall not engage in discrimination based on race, color,
age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability, pregnancy, religion, political
affiliation, union membership or marital status in hiring and employment practices
such as promotions, rewards, and access to training. In addition, workers or
potential workers should not be subjected to medical tests that could be used in a
discriminatory way.
7) Freedom of Association
Participants are to respect the rights of workers as established by local law to
associate freely on a voluntary basis, seek representation, join or be represented by
Works Councils, and join or not join labor unions and bargain collectively as they
choose. As provided by law, employees who become worker representatives shall
not be the subject of discrimination and shall have access to management and co-
workers in order to carry out their representative functions. Workers shall be able to
communicate openly with management regarding working conditions without fear of
reprisal, intimidation or harassment. In saying that worker rights are to be respected
as established or provided by local law, what HP means is that in countries that
have legal systems that support those rights, they are to be understood in the context
of the definitions, conditions and procedures that local law provides. However,
basic worker rights to open communication, direct engagement and humane and
equitable treatment must be respected even in countries where they are not given
meaningful legal protection. Where worker representation and collective bargaining
are restricted by law, participants are to facilitate open communication and direct
engagement between workers and management as alternative ways of ensuring that
workers鈥? rights, needs and views are considered and acted upon appropriately and
in good faith. Open communication and direct engagement between workers and
management are the most effective ways to resolve workplace and compensation
issues.

B. HEALTH and SAFETY
Participants recognize that the quality of products and services, consistency of production
and workers鈥? morale are enhanced by a safe and healthy work environment.
Participants also recognize that ongoing worker input and education is key to identifying
and solving health and safety issues in the workplace.
Recognized management systems such as OHSAS 18001 and ILO Guidelines on
Occupational Safety and Health were used as references in preparing the Code and may
be a useful source of additional information.
The health and safety standards are:
1) Occupational Safety
Worker exposure to potential safety hazards (e.g., electrical and other energy
sources, fire, vehicles, and fall hazards) are to be controlled through proper design,
engineering and administrative controls, preventative maintenance and safe work
procedures (including lockout/tagout). Where hazards cannot be adequately
controlled by these means, workers are to be provided with appropriate personal
protective equipment. Workers shall not be disciplined for raising safety concerns.
2) Emergency Preparedness
Emergency situations and events are to be identified and assessed, and their impact
minimized by implementing emergency plans and response procedures, including:
emergency reporting, employee notification and evacuation procedures, worker
training and drills, appropriate fire detection and suppression equipment, adequate
exit facilities and recovery plans.
3) Occupational Injury and Illness
Procedures and systems are to be in place to manage, track and report occupational
injury and illness, including provisions to: a) encourage worker reporting; b) classify
and record injury and illness cases; c) provide necessary medical treatment; d)
investigate cases and implement corrective actions to eliminate their causes; and d)
facilitate return of workers to work.
4) Industrial Hygiene
Worker exposure to chemical, biological and physical agents is to be identified,
evaluated, and controlled. When hazards cannot be adequately controlled by
engineering and administrative means, workers are to be provided with appropriate
personal protective equipment.
5) Physically Demanding Work
Worker exposure to physically demanding tasks, including manual material
handling and heavy lifting, prolonged standing and highly repetitive or forceful
assembly tasks is to be identified, evaluated and controlled.

System (EMAS) were used as references in preparing the Code and may be a useful
source of additional information.

The environmental standards are:

1) Environmental Permits and Reporting
All required environmental permits (e.g. discharge monitoring) and registrations are
to be obtained, maintained and kept current and their operational and reporting
requirements are to be followed.
2) Pollution Prevention and Resource Reduction
Waste of all types, including water and energy, are to be reduced or eliminated at

Chemical and other materials posing a hazard if released to the environment are to
be identified and managed to ensure their safe handling, movement, storage,
recycling or reuse and disposal.
4) Wastewater and Solid Waste
Wastewater and solid waste generated from operations, industrial processes and
sanitation facilities are to be monitored, controlled and treated as required prior to
discharge or disposal.
5) Air Emissions
Air emissions of volatile organic chemicals, aerosols, corrosives, particulates, ozone
depleting chemicals and combustion by-products generated from operations are to
be characterized, monitored, controlled and treated as required prior to discharge.
6) Product Content Restrictions
