I. PURPOSE.
Costco Wholesale Corporation is committed to protecting the working rights and safety of the
people who produce the merchandise it sells, while recognizing and respecting the cultural and
legal differences found throughout the world. To these ends, Costco:
1. prohibits illegal child labor, compulsory prison or slave labor and physical abuse of
workers;
2. expects its vendors to comply, at a minimum, with the applicable labor and environmental
laws and regulations of the country where the merchandise is produced; and
3. encourages its vendors to work to achieve “Above and Beyond Goals.”
Through this approach, Costco believes that practical and realistic protections and improvements
for workers will occur. Costco’s Vendor Code of Conduct applies to all Vendors who provide
merchandise to Costco. Costco will seek to identify and utilize Vendors who share our
commitment and reserves the right to conduct, or have conducted on our behalf, audits of
production facilities and business practices in order to monitor such Vendors’ commitment.
Costco reserves the right to cease doing business with any Vendor who does not share our
commitment. This Vendor Code of Conduct may be amended by Costco; its enforcement and/or
interpretation rests solely with Costco; and it does not confer or create any rights in favor of any
party other than Costco.
