We know that to be proud of the products we put our name on, we cannot be indifferent to the conditions in which they are made. On a day-to-day basis Reebok human rights, sourcing and production staff work together as partners to meet business needs, to prevent our products from being manufactured under substandard conditions, and to improve the lives of workers in our supply chain.
The majority of Reebok products are manufactured in over 700 independently owned and operated factories around the world. For more than a decade, we have applied our commitment to human rights to the tens of thousands of workers worldwide in OUR SUPPLY CHAIN who make our products.
Below, we describe how we purchase the products we sell from around the world and where our products are made. We disclose the names of our contract factory base with SUPPLIER LISTS. We discuss the IMPACT OF THE MULTI-FIBRE AGREEMENT in where we source our products.
We also describe how we manage the supply chain to maximize our buying power, strive for flexibility and efficiency, and meet consumer demands while upholding our human rights commitments.
Wherever possible, our goal is to seamlessly integrate our human rights commitments with the day-to-day functions of our business. In our view, achieving further BUSINESS INTEGRATION, while maintaining the credibility of an independently operating department, is one key to making a long-term positive impact in the lives of workers within our supply chain. If the business is not successful, we will not be able to continuously drive change within factories. If the company is not successful in meeting our human rights commitments, we will expose our brands to significant risk, and we will fail those we have pledged to protect.
