Dialog is committed to fair wages, healthy and  safe working conditions, respect for human and  labour rights, and honest relationships. We have  adopted the Electronics Industry Code of  Conduct (EICC) standard as the model for our  own “Code of Conduct” to try to ensure that  working conditions for both external suppliers  and employees are safe and that all workers  are treated with respect and dignity. This is  in addition to adopting principles from the  International Labour Organization Standards  (ILO), Universal Declaration of Human Rights  (UDHR), Social Accountability International (SAI),  and the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI). All labour must be given voluntarily and workers  must be free to leave their employment on  reasonable notice. Child labour must not be  used at any stage of manufacturing. Working  hours must not exceed the maximum set by local  laws and wages must comply with all applicable  laws. Dialog and its suppliers must ensure that  workers are not threatened or subjected to  inhumane or harsh treatment, harassment or  any form of unlawful discrimination. Open  communication and direct engagement between  workers and management is encouraged, even  in those countries where there is no meaningful  legal protection.
