Most of the products sold under our brand names are designed by Gap Inc. and manufactured by contracted vendors. We also sell products that are designed and manufactured by branded third parties, especially at our Intermix brand.  \nWe purchase private label and non-private label merchandise from approximately 900 facilities in approximately 40 countries. The factories that manufacture our branded apparel collectively employ over 1 million people worldwide, and we have a rigorous risk assessment framework, as well as locally implemented worker-related programs, to ensure any forced labor and human trafficking risks are minimized within our supply chain. Under no circumstance is it acceptable for child, forced, or trafficked labor to be employed within our operations or used in the production of any Gap Inc. product.  \nWe believe that no person should be subject to a situation where basic needs and fundamental rights are denied, which is why we have regularly partnered with governments, NGOs, consultants and trade unions to forge innovative solutions to systemic issues in the garment and textile supply chain.  \nPolicies  \nOur efforts to address human trafficking in the apparel industry are guided by our Human Rights Policy, which is founded on the principles outlined in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (“UDHR”) and the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (often referred to as the “ILO Core Conventions”) . Our policy applies to both our wholly owned operations and our branded apparel supply chain. This policy establishes key principles that guide how we run our business, as well as the core issues that we work to address.  \nGap Inc. has a Code of Vendor Conduct (COVC) that applies to all facilities that produce branded goods for Gap Inc. or any of its subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates or agents, which states that the company prohibits the use of “involuntary labor of any kind, includi","cbCaibQ2Cf7HeRHL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibQ2Cf7HeRHL","pdf",91797,"English","# Introduction\n## Directors’ introduction\n# Introduction to our Business\n# Policies\n## Human Rights Policy and related codes\n# Our Retail Business","[{\"question\":\"What is Gap Inc.’s overall commitment described in the statement?\",\"answer\":\"Gap Inc. commits to supporting and improving labor rights and working conditions globally across the retail and apparel industries, guided by its Human Rights Policy.\"},{\"question\":\"Which legal and policy frameworks does the statement reference?\",\"answer\":\"The statement is made in compliance with the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act and the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, and it aligns with principles in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and ILO core conventions.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Gap Inc. manage risks related to forced labor and trafficking?\",\"answer\":\"It uses a rigorous risk assessment framework, locally implemented worker-related programs, due diligence for franchise partners, and oversight through audit teams, assessments, and employee reporting with anti-retaliation protections.\"}]","Gap Inc.
