PUMA can also confirm that its supplier Kaoway Sports Ltd. had agreed last Friday – prior to the unrest taking place outside the premises of Kaoway Sports Ltd. – to meet the collective demands of workers in this Cambodian region. According to this agreement, Kaoway Sports Ltd. will provide a monthly transportation subsidy of USD 10 and a daily subsidy of USD 0.50, effective March 1, 2012.
PUMA is currently in the process of hosting several meetings with other non-governmental organizations and trade unions this week to discuss solutions for the ongoing conflict in the country so that the safety and well-being of the employees in its supplier factories is ensured and working conditions meet PUMA’s mandatory standards.
Kaoway Sports Ltd. will resume work on Friday after all personnel have been evacuated from the compound to ensure the employee’s safety and workers were sent home.
