Code of Conduct
Stars has a long and proud tradition of conducting business in a responsible and professional manner - from the manufacture of our goods to the sale of our merchandise. Part of this tradition is respect and concern for every individual, including our customers and employees.
We also seek out partners with demonstrable histories of fair and ethical treatment of their employees as well as mindfulness of diverse cultures.
Ethical - We will continue to partner with those who embrace our philosophy concerning the dignity and respect of each person and the appropriate treatment of all.
Child Labor - Use of child labor is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated in any of our facilities, whether contracted or subcontracted, or any other relationships with respect to manufacture of the garment.
Wages and Benefits - Wages and benefits must comply with applicable local and national laws.
Working Hours and Overtime - Working hours and overtime must be consistent with applicable local and national laws.
Prison, Forced, or Compulsory Labor - The use of prison, forced, or compulsory labor is strictly prohibited.
Health and Safety - We understand that we must provide a working environment that is safe. This commitment includes adequate fire exits and well-lit working conditions. If we provide residential facilities for our employees, they must be safe and sanitary.
Disciplinary Practice - We will not allow the use of mental or physical abuse, coercion, nor sexual harassment within our facilities, or partners, in the manufacture of goods.
Legal - We must observe all laws of the applicable country, including the laws that relate to employment, discrimination, safety, and health. If local or industry practices exceed the local legal requirements, the higher standard will be met.

We will take all measures necessary to protect and preserve the codes listed above, including on-site inspectors in order to monitor and investigate the alleged violation. We understand that any violation of the above codes may result in termination of business with your company, and we monitor closely all of the above so that this situation will never result.
