Puma factory inspection requirements for apprentices, minors and child labor

In addition to health and safety aspects, the social responsibility labor manual published by Puma during its factory inspection also includes requirements for child labor, underage workers, and apprentices of its suppliers.
1. Apprentices:
(1) Factories must ensure that all employees hired as apprentices comply with legal requirements, such as working hours (work time used as theoretical guidance), training period (should not exceed the time required by law), salary, working conditions (no contact with harmful substances, no heavy physical labor), etc.
(2) The age of apprentices must comply with PUMA's Code of Conduct.
(3) The factory should sign a written agreement with the apprentice (and his/her parents), indicating the start and end dates of the apprenticeship period.
(4) The apprenticeship program is only applicable to (but not limited to) some skilled positions, such as machine operators, mechanics, electricians, etc. Therefore, positions without special skill requirements should not be included in the apprenticeship program.
(5) The total number of apprentices shall not exceed 10% of the total number of factory employees.
2. Regarding underage workers:
(1) Factories should arrange for underage workers to register with the local labor bureau.
(2) Obtain written permission from parents.
(3) In any case, the factory should arrange free medical examinations for underage workers before they start working, and at least once a year thereafter until the worker reaches the age of 18.
(4) Factories shall not arrange for underage workers to perform heavy physical work, dangerous work, or work involving contact with hazardous substances.
(5) Factories should comply with local laws, such as restrictions on working hours for underage workers (including normal work, night shifts and overtime).
3. On child labor:
(1) Factories must not use or support the use of child labor in any of their activities, including apprenticeship programs and subcontracting processes.
(2) Once a factory is found to employ child labor, it should take appropriate remedial measures to support the child to complete compulsory education.
(3) Factories must ensure that all employees’ personnel files contain valid proof of age.
(4) PUMA does not allow home workshops because it cannot effectively control the child labor situation there.
