Our view on child labour. We do not accept child labour. We support the rights of the child. Inter IKEA Systems B.V. 2000. Page 16
Definition. What is child labour? Work performed by children, which interferes with a child s right to healthy growth and development and denies him or her the right to quality education. Inter IKEA Systems B.V. 2000. Page 17
Child labour in reality. 250 million working children 5-14 years of age. 120 million working fulltime. Approx. 5% within export industry. Inter IKEA Systems B.V. 2000. Page 18
Causes of child labour. Poverty. Indebtedness of families. Poor quality education. Adult illiteracy. Cultural and personal attitudes. Willingness to exploit cheap, docile labour. Limited law enforcement. Inter IKEA Systems B.V. 2000. Page 19
Aid through trade. Trade assists development. The best way we can help is through active business co-operation. Our presence gives us the possibility to put demands on our suppliers. Inter IKEA Systems B.V. 2000. Page 20
Our key point. All actions concerning the child shall take into account his or her best interests. Inter IKEA Systems B.V. 2000. Page 21
Follow-up and monitoring. Regular visits by IKEA co-workers. Random, unannounced inspections by independent external auditing companies in India and Pakistan. A 100% guarantee is impossible. Inter IKEA Systems B.V. 2000. Page 22
Supplier Energy Efficiency Project (SEEP) The aim is to increase efficiency significantly, which is expected to have a positive impact on total purchase cost, too. SEEP is to be understood as "umbrella" project to all other initiatives and projects with similar intention. Page 23
