1 Code of conduct suppliers Social & environnemental Compliance Initiative

2 La Redoute makes a commitment to protect the health and the safety of its customers and all the people impacted by its activities, and to protect the environment. The La Redoute Code of conduct reflects and specifies our social and environmental requirements to all our business partners and their subcontractors. These requirements lean on international standards, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention of United Nations on the rights of the Child and the conventions of the ILO (International Labour Organization), and can go beyond the standards formulated in the national laws. La Redoute demands that these partners respect the current laws and the fundamental international agreements of human rights*. If it turns out that one of the requirements expressed in this Code disagrees with the national laws of a country or a locality, as far as the aforementioned laws must be always respected, the supplier will have to inform about it immediately La Redoute before signing this Code of conduct. Compliance with current regulations and no corruption: The current social and environmental regulations applicable are respected. We do not accept and do not encourage any form of corruption. Children Labor : Child labor is not tolerated. The workers must be old of at least 15 years (or 14 years when the national legislation authorizes it), or be the legal minimum age old of the employment if it is upper, and it in all the countries. Forced labor and prison labor: The use of any form whatsoever, slavery, trafficking, debt bondage and forced or compulsory labor is not tolerated. The retention of original documents of workers can be compared to forced labor. We do not accept the use of prison labor. Discrimination: We recognize and respect the cultural differences and believe that the workers must be recruited and evaluated on the basis of their capacities to make the work which was assigned to them. We ban all forms of discrimination, in particular, related to age, gender, ethnicity, color. Disciplinary practices, harassment or abuse: All employees must be treated with respect and dignity. Under no circumstances will we tolerate that employees of our suppliers or partners are prone to bad treatment-physical or mental coercion or corporal punishment. 2

3 Freedom of association: Freedom of association, the right to join a trade union other organization of work or sector, as well as the right to collective bargaining, must be guaranteed to all employees, in accordance with the local laws in force. Working time and overtime: Established working hours comply with the legislation of the country in force; the use of overtime can be done provided that the employee is voluntary and entirely remunerated in accordance with local law. Whatever, the work week shall not exceed 60 hours per week on a regular basis or must be in compliance with the local legal limits if they are lower. The employer grants a day off by seven consecutive working days. Salaries and benefits: Hours of work, wages and payment for overtime are defined in accordance with the laws in force. Wages are paid on a regular basis to employees. All employees must be informed on the rules relating to minimum wages and benefits, including workers at home. Employed women must benefit from their maternity pregnancy according to the regulations in force in the country. Health and safety A healthy and safe work environment, and appropriate measures to protect the health and safety of employees must be guaranteed, and in accordance with minima in the legislation in force. Endanger employees is intolerable. Environment All administrative permissions and licenses required to be in compliance with applicable national and local environmental law must be valid and available. We also give preference to partners who share our commitment to the environment. La Redoute can break immediately any commercial relation in case of unbearable or major violation of the code.
