We are dedicated to continuously improving our performance regarding labor rights, workplace conditions, and environmental issues in our supply chain.

We aim to engage in business only with companies that meet our sustainability standards and comply with all applicable laws and regulations related to labor rights, workplace conditions, and environmental compliance.

Amer Sports’ procurement is guided through our Supplier Code of Conduct (formerly Ethical Policy), Social and Environmental Compliance Benchmarks, Living Wage Commitment, and Due Diligence, Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement.

Amer Sports Supplier Code of Conduct (formerly Ethical Policy)

The Amer Sports Supplier Code of Conduct (SCoC) is an integral part of our responsible operations strategy and is fully aligned with Fair Labor Association (FLA) standards. We expect our entire value chain to operate in compliance with the standards described in this document. We ask our suppliers to sign our SCoC to confirm their commitment to meeting our sustainability standards.

The Supplier Code of Conduct covers human and labor rights standards such as prohibition of child labor, forced labor, harassment, abuse and discrimination, as well as fair compensation and working hours, and freedom of association and collective bargaining. It also includes health and safety standards, environmental standards, such as mitigation of climate change, reasonable water management and proper waste management, and ethical standards.

The Amer Sports Group Executive Committee is responsible for upholding our Supplier Code of Conduct and reviewing it on a regular basis. The latest version is effective from May 2025.

Download Supplier Code of Conduct Poster

We expect our suppliers to download the Supplier Code of Conduct Poster and display it prominently in their factories in languages their employees understand. To facilitate this, Amer Sports is currently translating the poster in 31 different languages, which will soon be available for download.

Social and Environmental Compliance Benchmarks

The standards described in the Amer Sports Supplier Code of Conduct are further explained in our Social and Environmental Compliance Benchmarks, which supplement all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. The Benchmarks include cross-references that guide employers on how to comply with our human and labor rights standards, health and safety standards, environmental standards and ethical standards.

The Amer Sports social audit program ensures that our suppliers and own manufacturing factories comply with the human and labor rights standards described in our Supplier Code of Conduct throughout the entire relationship lifecycle.

Living Wage Commitment in Finished Goods Manufacturing

Amer Sports is committed to progressively striving towards living wages for workers in its finished goods manufacturing. We collaborate closely with our suppliers to ensure that workers are compensated fairly, at minimum meeting the local legal requirements. To address wage gaps, we collect and compare data from our finished goods factories against recognized wage benchmarks.

We engage with suppliers, governments, civil society organizations, and unions to foster dialogue and collaboration, driving continuous improvements in our compensation practices.

Due Diligence, Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

We express a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, child labor, or any form of forced labor, and actively work to prevent adverse human rights impacts in its value chain and improve working conditions. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity and transparency in all business dealings and implementing effective systems and controls to safeguard against any form of forced labor, modern slavery, or child labor within our business or supply chains. 

We regularly monitor public sources and our internal reporting channels for any reports related to modern slavery practices in our business and within our supply chain. Social and labor audit scores and number of critical issues (related to forced and child labor but also others) are an essential part of the suppliers’ scorecard, and we review it monthly. 

Norwegian Transparency Act Report

The Norwegian Transparency Act promotes enterprises’ respect for basic human rights and decent working conditions when producing goods and offering services. It ensures the public has access to information about how businesses deal with negative consequences for basic human rights and decent working conditions.

Amer Sports Norway AS is committed to responsible behavior and to contributing to a sustainable value chain for our products and services.
