We care about stories of responsibility

SMS MODE Limited believes in Sustainability, Reliability, Recycling and Responsibility to the Earth. We encourage the leaders of today’s generation to be stewards of our environment for a better and sustainable tomorrow. We aspire for sustainable relationships and collaboration with the people we work with, the processes we abide by, and the environment and society where we are.

By combining our passion and knowledge with new visions and compelling data, we try to shape the way businesses and communities preserve and protect the environment today.

With our allied production facilities we follow the below Code Of Conduct as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Our code is derived from the values and standards set by our customers, the United Nations, more particularly the Declaration of Human Rights and many of the ILO core conventions and local LAW.

1. Buyers’ preference: It is our earnest endeavour to meet all the aspects of our buyers’ code of conduct. We only work with such factories which are approved by our buyers.

2. Child labor: Use of Child labour is not tolerated. We do not work with such business partners who employ workers less than 15 years of age. Further, we ensure that no worker is younger than the mandatory school-going age in the respective factory of operation.

3. Forced labour: We do not work with any factory or organisation which engages in forced or bonded labour.

4. Disciplinary practices: We expect all our business partners to establish a clear disciplinary action procedure in line with local law. We donot work with factories whose employees use abusive language, or practice corporal punishment, in the form of mental or physical abuse or any coercive practice in any form against workers.

5. Abusement & harassment: We not work with any factory or organisation which engages in abuse and harassment. It is strongly prohibited by buyer Code of conduct, as per our business ethics as well as our Local Law.

6. Legal requirements: We expect all our business partners to comply with the local laws applicable to the conduct of their business.

7. Ethical standards: We try to identify and work with such organisations whose ethical standards are not divergent from ours.

8. Working hours: We prefer to work with business partners who try to meet the 60-hour week limit. Whenever the regular work hour limit is exceeded, we expect the workers to be compensated per the local law for the additional hours. We accept flexibility in scheduling work hours however we do not work with business partners, who on a regular and systematic basis work more than 60-hour week. Also, workers deserve one day off in seven days.

9. Wages and Benefits: We only work with such business partners who compensate their workers as per the prevailing law and provide all benefits legally due to them.

10. Freedom of Association: We respect the rights of workers to join an association of their choice and their right to Collective Bargaining. We work with such business partners who share this belief and ensure that workers who participate or associate with such movements are not discriminated against. We discourage taking any punitive action against such workers for being a part of such association or movement as long as they don’t violate any of the local laws.

11. Discrimination: While being cognizant of cultural, religious and other differences, we firmly believe that workers should be given an opportunity to work based on their skills only. Caste, Creed, Race etc. shall not be a part of the process used to decide employability.

12. Unauthorised Subcontract: Unauthorised subcontracting is considered a Zero Tolerance Violation. No vendor is allowed to subcontract any aspect of production without prior information and approval from our company. Any violation results in the delisting of such factories.

13. Building and fire safety: We make sure that all our business partners ensure Building and fire safety as per the local Law and buyers’ requirement.

14. Health & Safety: We engage only with such factories that provide their workers with a safe and healthy work environment.

15. Environment: We want all our business partners to ensure that their work process does not affect the environment adversely in any way. We make sure that all our business partners meet the legal requirement on all environmental aspects and continuously strive to go beyond just meeting the law.
