Number of business relationship terminations / rejections after Initial Assessments due to compliance problems in 2007

We work closely with our suppliers to help them improve their performance. In situations of severe or repeat non-compliance we will terminate our business relationship with suppliers. In 2007 we terminated agreements with four suppliers for compliance reasons.

We also work closely with Global Operations to pre-screen potential new suppliers. In total the SEA team conducted 441 Initial Assessments, with 106 factories rejected, resulting in a 24% rejection rate.
