……应遵循GOTS标准或当地法律要求(以较严格者为准)……
Interpretation:
解释:
GOTS sets criteria that is stringent yet practical and is relevant in major textile markets. Local or national legal
requirements vary across the world. If the local laws provide higher protection to environment or people, they
shall be followed. Similarly, where local laws provide lower protection as compared to GOTS criteria, GOTS
criteria would take precedence for the Certified Entities. This is applicable to all aspects of the standard
criteria, including environment, social, building safety, legality of business, and so on.
GOTS制定了严格而实用的标准,适用于主要的纺织品市场。世界各国或各地区的法律要求各不相同。如果当地法律对环境或人提供了更高的保护水平,则应以当地法律为准。同样,如果与GOT标准相比,当地法律的保护水平更低,则以GOTS标准为准。该规则适用于标准的所有方面,包括环境、社会责任、建筑安全、商业合法性等。
……该标准对工作和社会条件的要求等同于其他国际领先的社会责任可持续性标准的要求。

考虑到本标准的核心宗旨是核实和保证被认证的有机纤维的加工过程,所以高水平的劳动条件保障是必须的,建议采用兼容的专门社会责任标准或方案。 |
