As it had in 2006, Pentland took issue with our methodology in 2007, suggesting that we had twisted its previous response.  It felt we had been unfair, and said that, “[w]e have reviewed our answers from last year and see no reason to change them.”  It did give us some extra information, which we have added to the profile.

Responded to survey: twice

MSI involvement: yes, Ethical Trading Initiative

Wages Grade 1: Accepts the principle of a living wage, but applies legal minimum/industry benchmark.

FoA Grade 2: Acknowledges that access to FoA and CB requires worker and management training, but no real efforts to ensure workers have access.

M&V Grade 2: Acknowledges the limitations of social audits as tools for ensuring compliance, but no examples of how moving beyond them.
