C2E CODES OF CONDUCT (COC) FOR SUPPLIERS




INTRODUCTION



C2E As strongly believes in socially responsible business. It is therefore important for us to take responsibility for all our
actions, including the working and environmental situation for those workers taking part in the production of our products.

In order to make our position clear to our suppliers, our own staff, as well as any other stakeholder, we have set up the
following codes of conduct (CoC).

This Code of Vendor Conduct applies to all factories that produce goods for C2E or any of its subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates
or agents.


PRINCIPLES OF CODES OF CONDUCT


The suppliers of C2E should continuously work for the production of goods and services to take place in compliance with
the below mentioned internationally recognized and defined standards.

This CoC is based on United Nations (UN) and International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conventions and C2Es base of
values. The provisions of this CoC constitute minimum rather than maximum standards.

National laws and regulations shall be complied with, and where the provisions of national laws and regulations and this
CoC address the same subject, the highest standard shall apply.

As a general rule, the suppliers must also ensure that their sub-contractors comply with these standards. Contract workers,
day laborer' s and casual workers of the suppliers and subcontractors must be included in the work.

Under certain political and/or cultural circumstances it may prove difficult to comply with certain standards or to obtain
the identities of or contact with, all subcontractors. In such cases, one may choose an alternative approach.

Our suppliers must allow C2E, or those authorized by C2E, unrestricted access to its facilities and to all relevant records
at all times, whether or not prior notice is provided.

While C2E recognizes that there are different legal and cultural environments in which factories operate
throughout the world, this Code sets forth the basic requirements that all factories must meet in order to
do business with C2E.

This Code is based on internationally accepted labor standards, including the International Labor
Organization (ILO)' s core conventions and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Code provides the foundation
for C2E' s ongoing evaluation of a factory' s employment practices and environmental compliance.


COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS


Factories that produce goods for C2E shall operate in full compliance with the laws of their respective
countries and with all other applicable laws, rules, and regulations.


CORRUPTION


Corruption in any form is not accepted, including bribery, extortion, kickbacks and improper private or
professional benefits to customers, agents, contractors, suppliers or employees of any such party
or government officials.


ENVIRONMENT


Factories shall comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations.

Production of C2E clothes and sourcing of raw materials must not, in the shorter or longer term,
harm the environment in any way that directly or indirectly threatens people' s health, environment or safety.

C2E`s Quality requirements and sourcing policy shall be respected for all C2E products.

Environmental measures shall be taken into consideration throughout the production and supply chain from raw

15 years of age, whichever is greater. Factories must also comply with all other applicable child labor laws.

rates for overtime must be higher than the rates for the regular work shift.

C2E will seek to use only certified wool from standards like RWS.

DOWN AND FEATHERS

C2E strongly oppose to force-feeding in the goose /down industries and will not accept this method being used in the
making of our products. C2E does not accept Live plucking down to be used in our products. All down should be sanitized
before use in our products. C2E will seek to use only certified down from standards like RDS.


IMPLEMENTATION


Both in cases where the minimum standards cannot be met immediately, and in cases where these are already met, the
supplier must work to continuously improve production conditions.

This work should be directed towards direct, cost effective measures in fields where there are reason to believe to have
genuine potential for improvement.

Regarding subcontractors, the supplier shall, through agreement strive to secure that the supplier first communicates
the primary goals to all subcontractors, then reports on relevant social aspects concerning the subcontractors businesses,
and demands that the primary goals are met by subcontractors within a realistic time frame.
