Environmental
環境
EMISSIONS
The Company's policy is to comply with relevant laws and regulations in regards to air and greenhouse gas emissions, discharges into water and land, and the generation of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. In addition, the Company strives to mitigate emissions and reduce or recycle waste.
Carbon is the main source of greenhouse gas emissions [measured in carbon dioxide equivalents, or "CO2e"], as the manufacturing process uses electrical power to operate production machinery and heating and cooling equipment, to allow the equipment to function at the optimum output. Samsonite's emissions footprint is driven from its significant operations, including its three owned and operated manufacturing facilities in Oudenaarde [Belgium], Szekszárd [Hungary], and Nashik [India]; distribution centers in Jacksonville, Florida, and Vidalia, Georgia [USA], Oudenaarde [Belgium], Hong Kong SAR and Ningbo [China]; significant regional offices; and our global network of retail stores that are owned and operated by the Company.
The Company tracks and monitors energy consumption and emissions (air and greenhouse gases), discharges into water and land, and waste (hazardous and non-hazardous, as defined by local laws) at each of its owned and operated manufacturing facilities. Energy consumption is also monitored at distribution centers, regional offices, and retail stores.
The only significant water discharged relates to sewage, which is monitored and to our knowledge is in material compliance with local laws and regulations. Water used in the production process in our owned and operated manufacturing facilities primarily relates to cooling and is in a closed-loop system.
排放物
遵守廢氣及溫室氣體排放、向水及土地的排污、有害及無害廢棄物的產生的相關法例及法規是本公司的政策。此外,本公司亦致力舒緩排放以及減少或回收廢棄物。
由於生產過程須消耗電力操作生產機器以及供暖及冷卻設備(讓設備可按最佳產量運作),因此破產溫室氣體排放的主要來源(以二氧化碳當量或「CO2e」計算)。新秀麗的排放足印源於其主要營運設施,包括本公司設於比利時奧德納爾德市、匈牙利塞克薩德市及印度納西克市自有及經營的三個生產設施;設於美國佛羅里達州積遜威爾市及喬治亞州維達利亞市、比利時奧德納爾德市、中國香港特別行政區及寧波市的分銷中心;主要區域辦事處;以及本公司自有及經營的全球零售店網絡。
本公司追踪及監察其自有及經營的各項生產設施的能源消耗及排放(廢氣及溫室氣體)、向水及土地的排污以及廢棄物(有害及無害,定義見當地法例)情況,並監察分銷中心、區域辦事處及零售店的能源消耗狀況。
本公司唯一重大的水排放與污水有關,而本公司已監察相關情況,並且就我們所知符合當地法例及法規。於我們自有及經營的生產設施內,生產過程中的用水主要用於與冷卻相關的封閉系統內。

ENVIRONMENTAL
環境
Emissions Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) covering the 2017 calendar year will be included in the 2017 report (to be published in 2018). The Company has focused on the material sources of emissions (large offices, distribution centers, retail stores and manufacturing facilities) to be able to compare 2016 data with 2017 reported data.
In 2016, the Company had no known material instances of non-compliance with relevant laws and regulations regarding emissions.
適用於2017公曆年的排放物主要績效指標(「KPIs」)將載於2017年報告,並將於2018年刊發。本公司已集中注意排放物的主要源頭(大型辦事處、分銷中心、零售店及生產設施),以便將2016年的數據與2017年的報告數據作比較。
於2016年,本公司不曾獲悉任何嚴重違反排放法例及法規的情況。
In Focus: Recycling and Capturing Local Natural Resources Reduces Our Impact on the Environment
焦點:回收及善用當地天然資源 減少我們對環境的影響
Samsonite's corporate philosophy encourages sharing ideas to reduce waste and energy usage across plants. For example, materials used in the manufacturing process are recycled (e.g., cardboard, wooden pallets, and, most significantly, regrinds of plastics that are either reused directly or sold as scrap to third parties to be recycled into an alternative product). Some of our initiatives include the following:
- Implementation of a "5S" initiative [1] in Nashik, India (to identify and remove redundant equipment and scrap) has led to increased recycling of unused materials and equipment;
- Solar panels are installed at the Belgium and Hungary plants in an effort to increase the sourcing of renewable energy; and
- At the plant in Nashik, India, water discharge and rainwater are treated onsite and used to grow saplings which are then planted in a regional initiative (see the Community section, below); these actions have contributed to Nashik's plant offsetting their annual energy consumption via carbon sequestration.

新秀麗的企業理念鼓勵員工分享減少各廠房廢棄物及能源消耗的方法。例如回收生產過程中使用的材料(如紙板、木卡板,尤其是直接重用或作為廢棄物售予第三方循環再用於其他產品的塑膠次料)。我們採取的部分措施包括:
- 於印度納西克市實施「5S」措施[1]以識別及清除冗餘設備及廢棄物,加強回收未使用的材料及設備;
- 於比利時及匈牙利廠房安裝太陽能板,以增加採用可再生能源;及
- 於印度納西克廠房現場處理水排放及雨水,並將其用於種植該地區植樹行動中所使用的樹苗(見下文的社區一部);透過碳截存,這些行動有助抵銷納西克廠房的年度能源消耗。

Note
[1] The 5S initiative is a systematic and methodical approach to manufacturing and other processes that allows teams to organize their workplace in the safest and most efficient manner.
註釋
[1] 5S措施為用於生產及其他過程的系統性及有條理的方針,有助團隊以最安全及具效率的方式整理工作環境。

USE OF RESOURCES
The Company monitors its use of resources mostly through its reporting to the national, regional, and local governments where we operate our owned and operated manufacturing facilities and where such reporting is required.
The Company's policy is to comply with relevant laws and regulations in regards to the efficient use of resources, including energy, water, and other raw materials. Furthermore, the Company continuously aims to implement energy use and water efficiency initiatives. The Company's manufacturing process is fairly energy-intensive as plastics are used to construct hard-side luggage products. Plastics are used in the form of sheets (polycarbonate or polypropylene granules). Sheets are used in the extrusion, vacuum forming, or pressure forming processes. Granules are used in the injection molding process.
The manufacturing process at our three plants uses a closed-loop water system; therefore, actual water consumption is relatively low compared to other industries. None of the owned and operated manufacturing facilities has any issues in sourcing water that is fit for purpose.
Local laws also require regular reporting of waste. By nature, the production processes in our plants only create minimal hazardous waste, as defined by local laws. The Company uses third-party waste management companies to properly pick up and dispose of this waste.
Each owned and operated plant has identified and then implemented its own energy and emissions reduction efforts, many of which the Company is then implementing in its other locations. Examples include:
- LED lighting, motion sensor usage, and timed air conditioning usage initiatives;
- Reducing or discontinuing the use of high global warming potential refrigerants through the use of an alternative cooling technique to leverage natural air cooling; and
- Using meters to identify opportunities in the plants to maximize the energy efficiency of machinery without compromising the quality of output.
In addition, following the successful adoption in India, the plants in Belgium and Hungary are implementing a 5S program to identify opportunities to reduce waste in their production process.
KPIs in relation to the use of resources covering the 2017 calendar year will be included in the 2017 report (to be published in 2018).


資源使用
本公司主要透過向國家、地區及當地政府作出所需的相關申報,從而監察我們營運自有及經營生產設施時使用資源的情況。
遵守有效利用包括能源、水及其他原材料在內的資源的相關法例及法規是本公司的政策。此外,本公司不斷致力於推行節能及節水措施。由於使用塑料製造硬質行李箱產品,本公司的生產過程消耗不少能源。我們使用片材型的塑料(聚硫酸酯或聚丙烯顆粒)。片材用於擠壓、真空成型或壓力成型的過程。顆粒用於注塑成型過程。
我們的三個廠房於生產過程中使用封閉水系統;因此,與其他行業相比,實際用水量相對較低。我們所有自有及經營的生產設施均未曾於採購適合用水方面遇到任何問題。
當地法例亦要求定期就廢棄物作出申報。我們廠房的生產過程本身僅產生最微量的有害廢棄物(定義見當地法律)。本公司聘用第三方廢棄物管理公司妥善收集及處理有關廢棄物。
每個我們自有及經營的廠房已制定並實施各自的節能及減排措施,本公司其後亦已於其他地點實施當中大部分措施,實例包括:
- 使用LED照明、動態感應器及定時空調措施;
- 透過使用替代冷卻技術,利用自然空氣降溫,減少或停止使用可能加劇全球暖化的製冷劑;及
- 於廠房中使用度量計尋求無損生產質量並最大限度提升機器能源效益的方法。
此外,於印度成功採用5S方案後,比利時及匈牙利的廠房亦正實施有關方案以尋求於生產過程中減少廢棄物。
適用於2017公曆年的資源使用KPIs將載於2017年報告,並將於2018年刊發。

ENVIRONMENTAL
環境
NATURAL RESOURCES
The Company acknowledges its impact on the environment and natural resources. As noted above, the Company's most significant impact on the environment and natural resources relates to its CO2e. The Company's carbon emissions are mostly emitted by our manufacturing process and our significant distribution facilities.
The Company assesses and monitors air emissions, energy consumption, greenhouse gases, water consumption and discharges into water and land, and generation of waste (hazardous and non-hazardous, as defined by local laws) at each of its owned and operated manufacturing facilities as emissions generation, water use, and waste production are the most significant individual sources of energy use.
Outside of the Company's owned and operated footprint (that includes manufacturing facilities, regional offices, warehouses, and retail stores), the Company has continued to work with its supply chain partners to understand upstream emissions by making inquiries as part of its vendor evaluation process.
With our factories in Belgium and Hungary being in the European Union (EU), and an EU Directive relating to environmental reporting of data (effective on January 1, 2017), we have already begun collecting and reporting certain data to local regulators. The Indian government has similar requirements related to the Company's plant in Nashik.
The Company's commitment to the environment can be seen in its ongoing implementation of various efforts to reduce the Company's overall impact on the environment and natural resources both internally, and, in certain cases, with third parties. Two such examples are India's supplier 5S program (where we have helped a selection of suppliers introduce 5S initiatives at their own downstream facilities) and Hungary's collaboration with a cardboard packager to reduce the weight of suitcase packaging.
Employees in the plants have several visual reminders in their production area or warehouse to look for improvements through the 5S program, including for example, minimizing unnecessary lighting.
Internal initiatives related to energy consumption, emissions and waste also benefit a broad range of employee stakeholder groups. For example, approximately 85% of employees at our Hungary plant receive subsidies to use the more energy-efficient bus or train when commuting. Indian employees benefit from the extensive landscaping and gardens around the plant, fed from collected monsoon rainwater. Students in Belgium are tasked with developing new ideas to further identify resource reductions in production and material usage at our Oudenaarde plant as part of their studies.
The Company has focused on reducing higher CO2-equivalent emissions sources, such as certain refrigerants that can have a higher global warming potential; these sources have been substantially replaced by using smarter techniques or alternative technology at our plants in India, Belgium, and Hungary.
In India, the Nashik plant has collaborated directly with the Confederation of Indian Industry to identify opportunities for carbon reductions. By working with such organizations, the Company is in a strong position to react to new changes. One such change is the Indian tax law proposed to be enacted during 2017, which could eliminate the need to have independent distribution centers in every state in India where the Company sells its products; if this law is enacted, the Company's Indian business unit plans to evaluate opportunities to rationalize the number of warehouses required to support the business.
天然資源
本公司意識到其對環境及天然資源造成的影響。如上文所述,本公司對環境及天然資源最重要的影響與其CO2e排放有關。本公司的碳排放主要由生產過程及主要分銷設施產生。
由於產生排放物、用水及產生廢棄物為最主要的個別能耗源頭,因此本公司量度及監察我們自有及經營的各個生產設施的廢氣排放、能源消耗、溫室氣體、水消耗及向水及土地的排污以及所產生的廢棄物(有害及無害,定義見當地法例)。
在本公司自有及經營業務(包括生產設施、地區辦事處、倉庫及零售店)以外的地點,本公司持續與其供應鏈夥伴合作,透過向他們查詢瞭解上游排放物的情況,並以此作為對供應商評估的其中一部分。
我們比利時及匈牙利的工廠位於歐洲聯盟(「歐盟」)境內,而歐盟有關環境數據申報的指令自2017年1月1日起生效,我們已開始收集並向當地監管機構申報若干數據。印度政府對本公司位於納西克市的廠房亦有類似規定。
本公司對環境的承擔從我們內部(及在若干情況下與第三方合作)就減少整體對環境及天然資源的影響而持續進行的各項工作可見一斑。兩項相關實例包括在印度推行的供應商5S方案(我們協助部分供應商在其擁有的下游設施引入5S措施),以及在匈牙利與紙板包裝商合作減輕行李箱包裝的重量。
我們在生產區或倉庫設有多項視覺提示,提醒僱員透過5S方案尋求改進方法,例如減低不必要的照明等。
僱員持份者團體亦普遍受惠於本公司有關能源消耗、排放物及廢棄物的內部措施。例如約85%匈牙利廠房的僱員獲得補貼,以於通勤時選擇更具能源效益的巴士或火車。印度的僱員亦能享受廠房四周的由收集雨季雨水灌溉而成的廣闊園林景緻及花園。作為課程的一部分,我們邀請比利時的學生制定新方法,以進一步減少我們奧德納爾德廠房進行生產及使用材料時耗用的資源。
本公司致力於減少二氧化碳當量較高的排放源頭,如可能加劇全球暖化的部分製冷劑;我們於印度、比利時及匈牙利的廠房已採用更高效的技術或替代科技大量取代相關排放源。
印度的納西克廠房與印度工業聯合會(Confederation of Indian Industry)直接合作,尋求減少碳排放的可能。透過與相關組織合作,本公司能更有效應對新變化。其中一項相關變化為擬於2017年頒佈的印度稅法,有關稅法或會令本公司毋須再於每個銷售其產品的印度州份設置獨立分銷中心;倘須佈該法例,本公司的印度業務部門計劃評估調整支援業務所需的倉庫至合理數目的可能性。

EMPLOYMENT & LABOR PRACTICES
僱傭及勞工常規

The Samsonite Employee Code of Conduct (Employee Code) details our corporate values and expectations of employees. The Employee Code sets forth the global principles that apply to every employee including prohibitions against the use of bribes or kickbacks, against inaccurate recordkeeping, and against the use of company property for personal gain. The Employee Code calls on all employees to treat all the Company's vendors with dignity and respect, and insists that they adhere to labor, health, and safety standards consistent with those established by the International Labor Organization (ILO). The Company endorses the ILO's central tenet, namely that people throughout the world should be able to undertake decent and productive work in conditions of freedom, equality, security and human dignity. Employees who fail to abide by the Code are subject to discipline, which may include dismissal, if warranted.
The Company's business ethics reporting hotline is accessible online and is widely publicized to employees worldwide. Employees may use this hotline, anonymously if desired, if they have any workplace concern that they wish to report. Employees using the hotline are protected against retaliation.
In 2016, the Company had no known material instances of non-compliance with relevant employment and labor practice laws and regulations regarding compensation and dismissal, recruitment, and promotion, working hours, rest periods, equal opportunity, diversity, anti-discrimination, and other benefits and welfare in its countries of employment.
DEVELOPMENT & TRAINING
The Company focuses on developing and rewarding teams, and fostering a culture of recognition to support high performance and the retention of talent. The Company is also committed to helping our employees develop the knowledge, skills and abilities needed for continued success, and encourages employee professional development throughout each employee's career.
The Company implements professional development programs across all operations, driven locally to meet local needs. The Company considers training—namely those activities we offer our employees to help them become more proficient at the tasks that are part of their jobs—as indispensable to our business.
LABOR STANDARDS
The Company's Employee Code focuses on Samsonite's expectation that all employees will act in accordance with the Company's values and with applicable laws. Included in the Employee Code is the Company's corporate commitment to legal compliance, ethical standards, and a general commitment to labor standards enshrined by the ILO. Samsonite's employment policies related to preventing child and forced labor are developed and implemented at the regional and local levels to respond to the varying regulations and laws in these areas.

EMPLOYMENT & LABOR PRACTICES
僱傭及勞工常規
Together, these commitments are designed to protect our employees and to prevent illegal working conditions, including egregious violations such as child labor and human trafficking.
In 2016, the Company had no known material instances of non-compliance with relevant labor standards regarding preventing child or forced labor in its operations.
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY
The Company is committed to protecting the safety, health, and welfare of its employees in the workplace. The Company follows its established procedures to ensure compliance with applicable occupational health and safety (OHS) laws and regulations.
The Company focuses its OHS efforts on its three owned and operated manufacturing facilities (in Belgium, Hungary, and India) and at its major distribution centers. The three owned and operated manufacturing facilities have their own specific written OHS policies, which state a commitment to provide for a safe and healthy work environment. The owned and operated manufacturing facilities are required to report annually to their respective government authorities. Responsibility for OHS issues resides at the regional and facility levels.
In 2016, the Company had no known material instances of non-compliance with relevant OHS laws and regulations, and there are no significant regulatory actions or other litigation related to OHS that have had a significant impact on the Company's operations.
所有有關承諾旨在保護我們的僱員及防止違法的工作情況,包括童工及人口販運等嚴重違規行為。
於2016年,本公司不曾獲悉營運中有任何嚴重違反與防止童工或強迫勞工相關的勞工標準的事宜。
職業健康與安全
本公司致力保障僱員於職場的安全、健康及福祉。本公司遵循既定程序,以確保我們遵守適用的職業健康與安全(「OHS」)法例及法規。
本公司將OHS工作的重點放在比利時、匈牙利及印度三個自有及經營的生產廠房及主要分銷中心。該三個自有及經營的生產設施均已各自制定具體書面OHS政策,其中包括提供安全和健康的工作環境的承諾。本公司自有及經營的生產設施必須向相關政府部門作出年度申報。OHS事宜由地區和設施層面負責。
於2016年,本公司不曾獲悉有任何嚴重違反OHS相關法例及法規的事宜,且並無有關OHS的重大監管行動或其他訴訟對本公司的經營產生重大影響。
In Focus: Occupational Health and Safety at Work
焦點:工作環境的職業健康與安全
There are several ways that the Company's workers are engaged in OHS issues in the workplace. For example, the facilities in Oudenaarde, Belgium and Nashik, India have functioning OHS committees that hold regular meetings. And in Szekszárd, Hungary, a worker safety representative works with external consultants on an as-needed basis. In the distribution center in Jacksonville, Florida, USA, each department has workers who take responsibility for various OHS issues.
The facility in Belgium has created a five-year plan to address OHS issues, with an associated one-year action plan. These plans identify OHS priorities at the facility and assign responsibilities and accountabilities for the implementation of each item in the plan.
The facility in India is in the process of fully implementing a 5S initiative. Its Belgium counterpart has begun a similar program, and the facility in Hungary has plans to follow soon.

本公司的員工可透過若干渠道參與工作場所的OHS事宜。例如,於比利時奧德納爾德市及印度納西克市的設施設有行之有效的OHS委員會,並定期進行會議。而於匈牙利塞克薩德市的員工安全代表可於需要時與外部顧問合作。於美國佛羅里達州積盛威爾市的分銷中心內,各部門均有工作人員負責各項OHS事宜。
於比利時的設施已制定一項五年計劃以處理OHS事宜,並已制定相關的一年行動計劃。有關計劃釐定設施中OHS事宜的優先次序,並就實施計劃中各項目分配責任及義務。
於印度的設施正全面落實5S措施。比利時設施已開展類似計劃,而於匈牙利的設施亦計劃於不久將來採取同樣措施。

The Company's operating practices are based on a commitment to conducting its business with honesty and integrity, and in compliance with applicable law. Our focus on corporate responsibility is not only on what we make, but also on how we make it. The Company conducts its business with the highest standards in mind, in all facets of our operations, and for all the products that we sell.
Our focus areas are as follows:
- Managing risks associated with our supply chain;
- Implementing product responsibility policies relating to health and safety, labeling, and consumer privacy;
- Ensuring a strong commitment to doing business with integrity, avoiding corruption in any form, including bribery, and complying with applicable anti-corruption laws; and
- Implementing policies on community engagement and community investments.
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Supply chain management is an integral part of our corporate policy. While the Company owns and operates manufacturing facilities in Oudenaarde, Belgium, Szekszárd, Hungary, and Nashik, India, the remainder of our products are manufactured by independently-owned and -operated facilities. Most of the Company's third-party manufacturers are in China.
Our global supply chain is multi-tiered, with many different types of business partners, some of which are suppliers with which we contract directly, while others are parties such as sub-contractors or raw materials suppliers with which we do not have a direct contractual relationship. Our sourcing teams regionally supervise direct contractual relationships with suppliers. We also license the sale of certain non-core
本公司的營運常規以承認誠實及誠信經營業務為基礎,並遵守適用法律。我們不僅重視所承擔的企業責任,亦重視如何履行有關責任。本公司於各營運範疇及銷售各產品時均以最高標準進行業務。
我們的重點範疇為:
- 管理與供應鏈相關的風險;
- 實施與健康及安全、標籤及消費者私隱有關的產品責任政策;
- 確保堅守承認,以誠信經營,避免包括賄賂等任何形式的貪污行為,並遵守適用的反腐法例;及
- 實施社區參與及社區投資政策。
供應鏈管理
供應鏈管理為我們企業政策的一部分。雖然本公司於比利時奧德納爾德市、匈牙利塞克薩德市及印度納西克市自有及經營生產設施,但其餘產品均由獨立第三方擁有及經營的設施生產。本公司大部分的第三方製造商均位於中國。
我們的全球供應鏈分多個層級,有多個不同類型的業務夥伴,其中部分為我們直接與其訂約的供應商,而其他則為我們與其並無直接合約關係的分包商或原材料供應商。我們的採購團隊在地區層面監督與供應商的直接合約關係。在第三方可能較熟

products and the related sourcing of those products to approved third parties in cases where the third party may have more expertise within the product category. Local markets also source from local suppliers that they oversee.
The Company works to ensure that its global supply chain partners follow socially and ethically acceptable manufacturing procedures. It was our concern for workers' wellbeing that led us to establish our Ethical Charter — our supply chain code of conduct for direct and indirect manufacturers. The Ethical Charter sets forth our vision for acceptable business practices related to workers' rights, working conditions, terms of employment, decent work, supplier systems, and worker protections. These standards are consistent with those established by the ILO, such as prohibitions against forced labor and child labor.
The Company takes steps to evaluate, address and verify social risks in the supply chain. The current scope of our social compliance program is focused on final assembly, raw material, or component suppliers with whom we have a direct contractual relationship. In terms of social and environmental compliance, our influence is linked to the strength of our partnerships and is often proportional to the scale and stability of the orders placed with our suppliers.
We have a detailed and systematic approach to managing the relationships with our suppliers that includes 1] requiring our suppliers to contractually commit to uphold our standards, 2] self-assessments, and 3] factory monitoring of workplace conditions. A dedicated social compliance team, based in China, audits and verifies social compliance, and evaluates suppliers' social compliance initiatives. In India, selected staff are cross-trained to conduct social audits, and, after passing a test, conduct audits of suppliers in India as part of their job responsibilities.
悉有關產品類別的專業知識時,我們亦以特許形式批准向第三方銷售若干非核心產品以及採購有關產品。當地市場亦向其監督的當地供應商作出採購。
本公司致力確保其全球供應鏈合作夥伴遵循符合社會和道德標準的生產程序。出於對員工福祉的關注,我們已建立道德憲章,作為我們的直接及間接生產商的供應鏈行為守則。道德憲章列明我們有關工人權利、工作環境、餐傭條件、正當工作、供應商系統及保障勞工的可接受業務常規的願景。有關標準與ILO所訂立標準一致,例如禁止強迫勞工及童工。
本公司採取措施評估、解決及驗證供應鏈中的社會風險。我們社會責任方案的範圍目前集中於與我們有直接合約關係的最終裝配、原材料或零件供應商。就社會及環境責任方面而言,我們的影響力和我們與合作夥伴的關係緊密性相關,且通常與我們向供應商所下訂單的規模和穩定性成正比。
我們採用具體及有系統的方法管理與供應商的關係,當中包括1)要求供應商簽訂合約,承諾達到我們的標準、2)自我評估及3)監督工廠的工作環境。我們於中國設有專責的社會責任團隊,負責審計和驗證社會責任履行情況,並評估供應商的社會責任措施。在印度,我們交叉培訓個別工作人員以進行社會審計,於通過測試後,彼等其中一項職責為對印度供應商進行審計。

Compliance with the Ethical Charter is a requirement for doing business with the Company. The Company's manufacturing agreement with its direct suppliers also requires them to certify that materials incorporated into our product comply with all applicable laws, including environmental and social aspects, as well as a certification that materials incorporated into our product are also compliant.
Our main methods of monitoring the effectiveness of our social compliance policies within the supply chain include a supplier pre-qualification process and social compliance audits performed at our suppliers' facilities. The Company conducts due diligence checks of new and existing suppliers with whom it has a direct contractual relationship in the form of either self-assessment questionnaires or a compliance audit conducted by or on behalf of the Company. Social compliance audits consist of worker interviews, document reviews, and site tours. To be accepted as a supplier, a prospective supplier must not have any current serious health, safety, or labor issues.
We use a rating system with our suppliers to facilitate communications internally and externally on the status of compliance, and to assess change over time. The rating results are shared with our procurement and production teams, which then decide whether and to what extent we continue the business relationship with a specific supplier. Our transparency and integration process for sourcing decisions is fundamental to the success of our efforts to drive improvements in workplace conditions.
When we find that the factory management is not meeting requirements, we take action by requiring a corrective action plan within the shortest timeframe possible. The Company aims for continuous improvements of working conditions, and our policy includes a list of zero tolerance issues, such as the use of child labor or forced labor. The Company will act against those suppliers that do not demonstrate sufficient commitment to the Ethical Charter, or are in breach of it; subsequent actions can include terminating the supplier as an approved contracted factory.
PRODUCT RESPONSIBILITY
The Company takes product responsibility seriously in all its operations. Below we detail our in-depth approach to customer service, data protection and privacy, intellectual property, product quality, and product testing.
- Customer service: The warranty policies for the Company's products, information on services and repairs, and customer service contact information are available on the Company's websites. Customer service is managed locally within each region or country. Company-owned or third-party repair centers perform repairs.


遵守道德憲章是與本公司進行業務的一項要求。本公司與其直接供應商的生產協議亦要求彼等證明產品中所用的材料符合包括環境及社會等方面的所有適用法例,並提供我們產品中所用的材料亦符合相關法例的認證。
我們監控供應鏈中社會責任政策成效的主要方法包括供應商預先認證流程及對我們供應商的設施進行社會責任審計。本公司對與其有直接合約關係的新供應商及現有供應商進行盡職調查,形式為自我評估問卷或由本公司或其代表進行的合規審計。社會責任審計包括工人訪談、文件審查及現場訪察。潛在供應商當前不得存有任何嚴重的健康、安全或勞工問題,方可成為供應商。
我們使用評級系統評定供應商,以便不時就合規情況進行內部及外部溝通,以及評估變化。採購及生產團隊可取得評級結果,並以此決定是否及任何種程度上與個別供應商延續業務關係。採購決策的透明度及整合過程乃我們致力改善工作環境的成功基礎。
銷發現工廠管理未能達到要求,我們將採取行動,要求盡可能在最短時間內採取糾正行動計劃。本公司的目標為不斷改善工作環境,而我們的政策載有零容忍問題清單,例如禁止使用童工或強迫勞工等。本公司將對未有充分遵守道德憲章承諾或違反承諾的供應商採取行動;後續行動可能包括終止供應商作為獲批簽約工廠的地位。
產品責任
本公司於各業務範疇均認真貫徹產品責任。下文詳列我們深入處理客戶服務、數據保密及私隱、知識產權、產品質量及產品測試的方式。

Data protection and privacy: It is the Company's policy to satisfy applicable legal requirements with respect to data protection and privacy. In the United States, the Company seeks to maintain Payment Card Industry ("PCI") compliance for its US-based businesses to protect sensitive customer data such as credit card information [2]. Our PCI compliance in the US is periodically validated by a third party. In other countries, credit card information is not retained.

Intellectual property: The Company's intellectual property team, which forms part of the legal department and is overseen by our Vice President of Intellectual Property, actively seeks patent and design protection for important innovations and designs, and trademark registrations for key brands and marks. The Company's anti-counterfeiting activities include: customs recordals, and where appropriate for certain brands, training customs officials to identify counterfeit goods, monitoring factories in China where many counterfeits originate, and monitoring and enforcing against listings found in online marketplaces. From time to time, third parties have sought to imitate the Company's patented products or trade off the reputation of its brands. The Company also aggressively acts to enforce its intellectual property rights against third-party infringers by sending "cease and desist" letters, filing opposition and cancellation proceedings, and, if necessary, bringing suits against the infringing party. The Company identifies infringers through its business teams in the various regions who are in the marketplace evaluating third-party activity; through trademark watch services; through professional investigators; and through customs officials who work with the Company to detain potentially infringing product at border locations. The Company respects valid third-party intellectual property rights, but will vigorously defend itself against any inappropriate third-party claims. The Company conducts appropriate clearance checks to seek to avoid any potential conflict. During the year ending on December 31, 2016, there were no infringements of the Company's patents or trademarks, or allegations of infringement claimed against the Company, which had a material adverse effect on the business, financial results, or reputation of the Company.

ANTI-CORRUPTION
The Company is committed to conducting all aspects of its business in keeping with legal and ethical standards. We have adopted a Global Anti-Corruption Policy that requires all the Company's agents, directors, employees, officers, and representatives to comply with all applicable anti-corruption laws. The Company's Employee Code also includes provisions related to the Company's stance on the payment of government officials, bribes and kickbacks, gifts, and conflicts of interest.
The Global Anti-Corruption Policy provides guidance on how to conduct business in a fair, ethical, and legal manner. Our anti-corruption compliance program encompasses numerous reporting, monitoring and certification controls, as well as an education component that has included both web-based and in-person training.
In addition, the Company conducts due diligence, where appropriate, to screen potential vendors for anti-corruption risk, and, where appropriate, vendors are required to agree to comply with our Global Anti-Corruption Policy.
The Company also has procedures and internal controls to assist with compliance with anti-bribery and corruption laws. These include required approvals for certain types of transactions, an employee ethics hotline (described above), and periodic monitoring by the Company's internal audit team as part of their routine procedures in higher risk locations. These activities are closely supported by the legal and finance departments on an as-needed basis.
In 2016, the Company had no known material instances of non-compliance with relevant laws and regulations regarding bribery, extortion, fraud or money laundering in its countries of employment. There are no current or pending regulatory actions or other litigation that are anticipated to have a significant impact on the Company.
COMMUNITY
Community engagement is an important part of our operating practices. The Company brings a strong commitment to the communities where we operate and where our employees live. In line with our decentralized structure, community engagement, investment and philanthropy are decided and implemented locally. For example, each of our owned and operated manufacturing facilities in Belgium, Hungary, and India has its own policies and programs to respond to the needs of the local communities and to ensure that its activities take into consideration the local communities' interests.
The Company is also committed to supporting the communities where its employees live and work by allowing employees the opportunity to give financial support, employee time, and in-kind donations to their communities. The Company regards local engagement as an opportunity to contribute to the health and financial well-being of these communities.
反腐
本公司致力在所有業務範疇遵守法律及道德標準。我們已採納全球反腐政策,要求本公司全體代理人、董事、僱員、人員及代表遵守所有適用的反腐法律。本公司的僱員守則亦載有本公司就向政府官員提供款項、賄賂及回扣、禮品和利益衝突所持立場的相關規定。
全球反腐政策就如何以公平、符合道德及合法的方式進行業務提供指引。我們的反腐合規方案包括多種報告、監察及認證的監控程序,以及包括網上及現場培訓的教育內容。
此外,本公司於適當情況下進行盡職審查,就反腐風險對潛在供應商進行篩選,在適當情況下供應商亦須同意遵守我們的全球反腐政策。

社區
投入社區是我們營運工作的重要部分。本公司大力投入我們業務所在及僱員生活的社區。基於我們的權力下放結構,本公司社區參與、投資及慈善事務均於當地進行決策及實施。例如,我們於比利時、匈牙利及印度自有及經營的各個生產設施均採用其各自的政策及方案,以配合當地社區需要並確保業務能兼顧當地社區的利益。
本公司亦為僱員提供以經濟支持、僱員時間及實物捐贈目饋社區的機會,藉此全力支援僱員生活及工作的社區。本公司認為參與當地社區活動讓我們為這些社區的健康及財政福祉作出貢獻。

In Focus: Environmental Stewardship and Support for Education in India
焦點:印度的環境管理及教育援助
Samsonite management and employees are making a difference in Nashik, India, through significant investments in local primary school education and the environment, in collaboration with a local foundation and community leaders. Key Company employees serve on the foundation board and participate in all the initiative's decisions.
"Inside like a hospital. Outside like a garden," is the oft-repeated motto of a long-time Samsonite plant manager in Nashik, Yashwant Singh. The plant is investing in the community through a greenhouse where saplings grow. The greenhouse is adjacent to the modern facility that manufactures hard-side Samsonite luggage for domestic and export sale. Special fast-growing shrubs and trees are planted on Samsonite-owned land, creating a green space that prevents soil erosion and contributes to greenhouse gas offsets. But the work does not stop there. Since many of the lands surrounding Nashik have been overgrazed, the Company has stepped in to help. Thousands of trees have been planted, and tree guards are being placed around saplings to prevent cattle from reaching them.
When it comes to schools, Company employees work with community leaders to select villages that are in the most need of assistance. Often these villages are isolated from the city of Nashik and its available resources. Upgrading of school buildings, toilets and play areas are a priority with the support and participation of affected communities.
The rationale for the focus on the environment and education comes from deep local knowledge and the commitment of Company leadership in dialogue with community leaders. Primary school education is viewed as key to the betterment of girls' futures. And reforestation is critical to providing a better environment.
What have been the results? Thousands of students and hundreds of schools, teachers and principals in 120 villages have benefited from these programs.
"We can't change everything, but we can do these small things," remarked Milind Vaidya, a long-time executive at the Nashik facility.
新秀麗管理層及僱員與當地基金會及社區領袖合作,透過對當地小學教育及環境作出重大投資,為印度納西克市帶來改變。主要公司僱員擔任基金會董事,並參與所有的行動決策。
「裡面像醫院、外面像花園」為新秀麗的納西克廠房資深經理Yashwant Singh的一句口頭禪。該廠房正透過種植樹苗的溫室對社區進行投資。溫室毗鄰生產新秀麗於國內及出口銷售的硬邊行李箱的現代化設施。新秀麗在其擁有的土地上種植特殊快速生長的灌木及樹木,創造綠色空間,防止土壤侵蝕和對抵銷溫室氣體作出貢獻。然而新秀麗所做的工作不止於此。由於納西克市周圍的許多土地已被過度放牧,本公司正積極行動,除種植數千棵樹外,更於樹苗四周設置圍欄以防止牛隻踐踏。
於學校層面上,本公司僱員與社區領袖合作狹選最需要幫助的鄉鎮。這些鄉鎮一般遠離納西克市及其現有資源。在受助社區的支持及參與下,改善校舍、洗手間及遊樂場設備為優先處理事項。
對環境及教育的關注源自本公司管理層對當地的深入瞭解和承擔以及與社區領袖的溝通。小學教育被視為改善女孩子未來的關鍵。再造林則對改善環境至關重要。
現在成果如何?在120個鄉鎮內,數以千計的學生及數以百計的學校、老師及校長已成為該計劃的受益者。
「我們不能改變一切,但我們可以從這些小事入手」納西克廠房資深行政人員Milind Vaidya說道。

In Focus: Tumi's Corporate Philanthropy
焦點:Tumi的企業慈善事業
Tumi is a long-time philanthropic donor to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, USA; this world-renowned hospital treats and defeats childhood cancer and other deadly diseases. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food. Tumi has been a proud partner in the annual St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Thanks & Giving Campaign. In 2016, Tumi donated at least 60% of the purchase price of its exclusively designed pouch, luggage tags and ID tags to the hospital that were sold from October 31 to December 31, 2016. Since 2010, Tumi has raised more than $2.6 million for St. Jude kids since joining its mission.
In 2011, Tumi introduced the "Tumi Takes You Home" event where Tumi donates travel cases that are specially designed for the patients and families at St. Jude to help them travel to and from the hospital for treatment. In 2016, Tumi produced a limited-edition collection of custom-made travel cases inspired by the artwork of St. Jude patients for the annual "Tumi Takes You Home" event.

Tumi長期向美國田納西州孟菲斯市的St. Jude兒童研究醫院作出慈善捐贈;這家世界著名的醫院治療及對抗兒童癌症及其他致命疾病。患者的家庭從未收到過St. Jude的治療、差旅、住院或膳食賬單。Tumi以成為St. Jude兒童研究醫院年度感謝與捐獻運動的合作夥伴而自豪。於2016年,Tumi向醫院捐出其在2016年10月31日至12月31日期間銷售特別為此項運動設計的手提包、行李牌及證件牌所得款項的最少 60%。自2010年參與此項運動以來,Tumi已經為St. Jude的孩子籌得超過2.6百萬美元。
於2011年,Tumi推出「Tumi帶您歸家(Tumi Takes You Home)」活動,捐贈專為協助St. Jude病人及其家屬往返醫院進行治療而設計的旅行箱。於2016年,Tumi製作限量版的定製旅行箱,靈感正是來自St. Jude病人為年度活動「Tumi帶您歸家」製作的藝術品。

關於本報告
This report covers the activities and results for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Unless otherwise specified, the report includes all of the consolidated subsidiaries under the Company's direct control as reflected in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the Company-owned or -operated offices, retail stores, and distribution/manufacturing facilities. Unless specified, third-party owned and operated companies, and product categories managed by licensees, are beyond the scope of this report.
On August 1, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Tumi. To the extent information is available and applicable, Tumi has been included in this report.
The methods used to gather, report and verify information in this report are based on the Company's own processes as well as internationally recognized reporting standards.
The content for this report was developed on the basis of its relevance to the Company's business objectives, its regionalized organizational structure, and expectations of key stakeholders.
DATA MEASUREMENT, METHODOLOGY AND BOUNDARIES
Emissions KPIs covering the 2017 calendar year will be included in the 2017 report [to be published in 2018]. The Company has focused on the material sources of emissions including the three owned and operated manufacturing facilities in Oudenaarde [Belgium], Szekszárd [Hungary], and Nashik [India]; distribution centers in Jacksonville, Florida, and Vidalia, Georgia [USA]; Oudenaarde [Belgium], Hong Kong SAR and Ningbo [China]; significant regional offices; and our global network of retail stores to be able to compare 2016 data with 2017 reported data. The Company uses the principles and guidance of the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development's Greenhouse Gas ["GHG"] Protocol Initiative's Corporate GHG Accounting and Reporting Standard, Revised [the "GHG Protocol"], and The Corporate Value Chain [Scope 3] Standard, both recognized external standards, to calculate and report direct and indirect GHG emissions. Carbon dioxide emissions and equivalents are determined on the basis of measured or estimated energy and fuel usage, multiplied by relevant carbon emission factors, and for carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by taking into account relevant global warming potentials.
The Company will include additional information relating to its environmental KPIs (including emissions factors used and disclosure of any significant data estimations used, for example, where invoice data are not available) in our 2017 report (to be published in 2018). Our Scope 1 emissions (arising from the fuel combusted in our owned and controlled operations) are a result of the combustion of natural gas, propane, motor gasoline and diesel, as well as the leakage of hydro-fluorocarbon refrigerant gases from our HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) equipment. Our Scope 2 emissions—arising from the consumption of purchased electricity—are from our use of purchased electricity in those same facilities. Where meters are not available to track our water usage or discharges, our estimation methodology will be disclosed. Also, where waste management information is not fully available, the key assumptions used to estimate waste data for those facilities within our scope will be included in our 2017 report.
