Global outsourcing is unquestionably a highly complex issue. To help you better understand this subject as it relates to Roots, we would like to share with you aspects about our company, our products and how we make them. This information relates to who we are, how we do business, the basic values that guide us and our concern for the communities in which we operate. Based on the core values and leadership of our two Co-Founders Michael Budman and Don Green, Roots has always been committed to highly ethical standards in everything related to our business -- whether it be in our stores, our offices, our own production facilities in Canada or with our suppliers, both domestic and foreign, of raw materials and finished goods. We take pride in who we are and what we do, from our product design to our customer service to our charitable contributions and sponsorships of cultural and sports-related groups and events. We also take pride in our success and take very seriously the social responsibility that goes with it. In all aspects of our manufacturing process, we require that working conditions meet our stringent health, safety and labor standards. We insist that the rights, dignity and well-being of all workers making Roots products be respected. Roots suppliers, whether in Canada or abroad, operate according to the Roots Code of Conduct which sets forth the high standards Roots will accept in compliance with industry guidelines and environmental requirements.
