Whirlpool Corporation supports the human rights of everyone we work with, and we expect our global suppliers to do the same. We strive to hold our suppliers accountable with these same principles through our Supplier Code of Conduct. The SCoC states, in part, that suppliers must recognize and respect human rights, including any rights of workers to exercise lawful rights of free association, compliance with local and international laws regarding young workers, compliance with laws prohibiting human trafficking in any form (e.g., forced labor, debt bonded slavery), providing safe and healthy work environments, and respecting any legal right of workers to bargain collectively.
