SUPPLIER MANUAL · Page 6 DK COMPANY SUPPLIER MANUAL - SIGNATURE PAGE - EDITION JUNE 2016 SIGNATURE DK Company Supplier Manual - Signature Page During the last many years, DK Company has been in constant development and growth. We are now among Northern Europe´s leading supplier of fashion and lifestyle brands. We have always been committed to CSR, but due to our increasing size and importance in the textile industry, we will be working more strategically with CSR in the future. This means developing win-win relationships with our business partners and source more strategically, on a corporate level, from partners who share our ethical values. When signing this Supplier Manual, suppliers agree to be bound by our: - General Trading Conditions - BSCI code of Conduct - Our audit program (described below) - Ethical Sourcing Requirement - Child Labour Policy - Chemical Restrictions - Chemical testing program (described below) - All instructions mentioned in the Supplier Manual Supplier explicitly acknowledge and accepts that the Supplier Manual including the terms and policies listed just above will be updated by DK Company from time to time and that Supplier shall at any and all times be bound by the most recent and effective version. Supplier explicitly accepts to keep itself updated on any changes to the Supplier Manual and the said terms and policies. Date: Company Name: Signed by: Signature/stamp: SUPPLIER MANUAL · Page 7 DK COMPANY AUDIT PROGRAMME AUDIT PROGRAMME The main goal for starting a strategic CSR programme is to engage with our suppliers and enhance our partnerships with them. Our aim with the audit program is not to terminate business, but to work in partnerships in creating a better supply chain. Therefore, we expect a dialogue with suppliers about ethical performance and a commitment to continuous improvement in all areas of our ethical requirements. We know that we also carry responsibility in ensuring that our supplier can comply with our ethical standards. Hence, we focus our efforts in building capacity within our buying organization to understand that responsibility and provide a framework and tools to make supply chain risks and solution more visible to the buying organization in their everyday work. We will ask from all our major and strategic suppliers that they have BSCI audits done for all production units producing for us. DK Company joined BSCI in 2012 and we base our compliance program on the BSCI Code of Conduct. We use the BSCI audit as a tool to check the level of compliance at our suppliers. BSCI provide the audit results, on which we can base our continuous development work. They also provide training to our suppliers in how to comply with the BSCI standards. Please read about BSCI following this link: http://www.bsci-intl.org/ For smaller and new suppliers, they will be part of an alternative audit program, managed by DK Company. This audit programme involves a visit from the DK Company compliance team, where we view the production units and provide suppliers with guidance on how to improve the factory to make it more safe and healthy for the workers and the environment. Suppliers will be notified to which group they belong and in which audit programme they will be involved. Please note that this may change as our business relationship evolves. In order for our buying organization to gain more knowledge about the status of our supply chain, we will rate the factories. Suppliers will be rated according to the lowest rated factory in their supply chain. Ratings can be either RED, ORANGE, YELLOW or GREEN. The ratings are meant as a tool to create awareness and knowledge about our supply chain. Suppliers will always be required to improve, but never to comply completely. Of course, we will have some no-tolerance issues, that we will require suppliers to comply with before we can continue our business. These are as follows: - - - - Grave lack of fire safety alarms, equipment, exits and procedures Confirmed child labour Confirmed forced labour Gross violation of environmental protection laws and requirements Any questions regarding the no-tolerance issues, please do not hesitate to ask. SUPPLIER MANUAL · Page 8 DK COMPANY AUDIT PROGRAMME The local DK Company representative will guide suppliers through the entire process, and please contact us to get help in reaching our standards. We can be contacted via these e-mails: [email protected] (all China Suppliers) [email protected] (all Indian and Pakistan suppliers) [email protected] (all Bangladesh suppliers) [email protected] (all Turkish Suppliers) [email protected] (all other suppliers) SUPPLIER MANUAL · Page 9 SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT One of the main requirements for a company of our size is that we have transparency in our supply chain and know exactly where our products are being produced. Therefore, we will need to be informed of all production units producing for us. Buyers in Denmark will not be able to place an order to suppliers, unless suppliers have informed us about the production unit of that specific order, so please make sure, that the below process is followed carefully whenever a new production unit is needed. 1. Supplier request to add a new production unit 6. Comm. with buyers and supplier on improvements needed 2. Supplier and production unit fills out contact information (if the production unit is BSCI approved, jump to no. 4) 5. Orders can be placed 3. DKC will do a pre-screening of production units 4. DKC registers the production units and rates the factory (if deemed suitable for DKC production) Before we accept production, we will always do a pre-screening of the unit, to make sure, that there are no no-tolerance issues in the factory. Please use the form for adding a new factory to the production unit list in 4. Code of Conduct - Chemical Restrictions. Un-authorized use of sub-contractors will be regarded as a major breach in our trusting relationship and future cooperation will be re-considered.

FABRIC COLOUR SHADING Colour shading is not accepted within one garment or one assortment. Colour shadings must be detected right after the fabric has been delivered from the dyeing mill, and most important - BEFORE cutting. Whenever our Supplier & Manufacturer find colour shading, which is considered acceptable, DKC is to be informed immediately as follows: - An A4 size cutting of each shading is to be made in 3 sets, one for the supplier, one for the manufacturer, and one to be sent to DKC. - If two shadings are discovered they must be marked with A and B respectively for future references, and the sets must be attached with a sticker informing supplier & manufacturers name, fabric quality, colour number, and order or program. - Furthermore, an approximate percentage in each shading, based on the total quantity for the colour must be stated. E.G. Supplier name: On Time LTD. Manufacturer name: Hard Work Fty. Fabric quality: 135 gr. Single Jersey % in shading, Col. no.: 40% sha. B, Col. 0770 For order no. or prog.: O.123456-57-58 ( 60% sha. A, Col. 0770 ) With this information, and provided that production has still not started, we often will be able to find a solution which is acceptable for all parties, and more importantly, we will avoid later rejections and claims. B. ACCEPTABLE SHADING - FIRST RULE Keep shadings separated into different orders whenever possible. - SECOND RULE When first rule is not possible, and two shadings have to be used in one order, then consider them as two different colours, so if for example the shading is found in Red, DKC colour no. 0770, then name one shading 0770A, and the other 0770B. Now cut shading A and B separately and assortment wise, so that they can finally be packed and marked A and B on the carton and on the packing list. E.G.
