Child Labor
Ultimate Nutrition does not condone any aspect of child labor within its business operations and with associated firms, such as suppliers and local partners. The term "child" shall refer to any individual that is below the mandated age for finishing education, or below the minimum age for employment stipulated in the respective nation. In any case, no person below the age of 15 years or below the age of finishing obligatory education (whichever is higher) shall be in employment (Fair Labor Association, 2016). However, if the laws of the land stipulate that the minimum age is set at 14 years, according to the International Labor Organization Convention No. 138, then an exception will be made and the lower age will apply (United Nations, 2016). Child Labor shall not be used at any given stage of the company's manufacturing process. The practice of appropriate and valid workplace internship programs, which comply with all laws and regulations, is supported. Children between the ages of 13 and 15 years, and also children between the ages of 12 and 14 in nations whose minimum age is 14 years, are allowed to partake in light work that is not detrimental to their health or development and also does not interrupt their school schedule (United States Department of Labour,2016).
