Antigua stands committed to advancing human rights through our company policies and business practices. Our company respects and values the rights of workers and believes in the right to fair and safe workplace conditions. We demonstrate this through our actions as a company. In 2014, we launched our official Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Compliance Management Program. Through our program we ensure compliance to the Antigua Code of Conduct through conducting factory evaluations, annual self-assessments, questionnaires, surveys and e-learning trainings.
We continue to embed social responsibility into our business practices and over the past five years we have made great gains in supply chain transparency, ethical sourcing, educating and training our vendors. We have become members of industry organizations, such as the Fair Labor Organization and C-TPAT, that specialize in key programs that enable us to maintain social compliance. These partnerships allow us to share valuable data and enhancements to our program to meet the changing industry standards and requirements.
We reaffirm our commitment each day to act responsibly and operate with the utmost integrity to ensure fair and safe workplace conditions, and fully meet the challenges that lie ahead.

COMMITMENT
The Antigua Group, Inc. has a firm commitment to building strong sustainable relationships with all of our business partners. We believe our success over the past 40 years is directly attributable to our reputation as a leader in ethical business practices. The commitment is clear in the length of the relationships we enjoy with our customers, associates and our product. Antigua is committed to providing quality and value to our customers and the way we do so is by searching out business partners and suppliers who share our belief in ethical business practices. The Antigua Group, Inc. does not own or run any factories outside the United States. However, we do use Global Sourcing Standards that not only include setting high standards for quality and value, but also sets forth a mandate for labor practices and a supplier workplace code of conduct that all suppliers must adhere to. Further, all suppliers must agree to comply with these standards in writing before we will conduct any business with them. This code of conduct is the same code enforced at our own facility in Peoria AZ.
THE ANTIGUA GROUP, INC. CODE OF CONDUCT
Antigua's Code of Conduct is based on the FLA Workplace Code of Conduct, which is widely recognized as one of the most effective and rigorous in the world. It is based on core conventions of the International Labor Organization and internationally accepted good labor practices. Companies affiliated with the FLA are expected to comply with all relevant and applicable laws and regulations of the country in which workers are employed and to implement the Workplace Code in their applicable facilities. When differences or conflicts in standards arise, affiliated companies are expected to apply the highest standard.
EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP:
Employers shall adopt and adhere to rules and conditions of employment that respect workers and, at a minimum, safeguard their rights under national and international labor and social security laws and regulations.
NONDISCRIMINATION:
No person shall be subject to any discrimination in employment, including hiring, compensation, advancement, discipline, termination or retirement, on the basis of gender, race, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, nationality, political opinion, social group or ethnic origin.
HARASSMENT OR ABUSE:
Every employee shall be treated with respect and dignity. No employee shall be subject to any physical, sexual, psychological or verbal harassment or abuse.

Employers shall provide a safe and healthy workplace setting to prevent accidents and injury to health arising out of, linked with, or occurring in the course of work or as a result of the operation of employers' facilities. Employers shall adopt responsible measures to mitigate negative impacts that the workplace has on the environment.

Other than in exceptional circumstances, the sum of regular and overtime hours in a week shall not exceed 60 hours.

Every worker has a right to compensation for a regular work week that is sufficient to meet the workers' basic needs and provide some discretionary income. Employers shall pay at least the minimum wage or the appropriate prevailing wage, whichever is higher, comply with all legal requirements on wages, and provide any fringe benefits required by law or contract. Where compensation does not meet workers' basic needs and provide some discretionary income, each employer shall work with the FLA to take appropriate actions that seek to progressively realize a level of compensation that does.
WOMEN'S RIGHTS:
Women workers will receive equal remuneration, including benefits, equal treatment, equal evaluation of the quality of their work, and equal opportunity to fill all positions as male workers. Pregnancy tests will not be a condition of employment, nor will they be demanded of employees. Workers who take maternity leave will not face dismissal nor threat of dismissal, loss of seniority or deduction of wages, and will be able to return to their former employment, or a similar position, at the same rate of pay and benefits. Workers will not be forced or pressured to use contraception. Workers will not be exposed to hazards, including glues and solvents that may endanger their safety including their reproductive health.
