Disney’s International Labor Standards (ILS) Program evaluates and helps improve working conditions in facilities producing Disney-branded products. Disney’s ILS Program is administered by a dedicated staff of over 100 professionals located in 13 countries around the world. The breadth and diversity of our consumer products business means that Disney-branded products are produced in tens of thousands of facilities in approximately 100 countries.
Given the scope of the business and the fact that many Disney-branded consumer product agreements are licensing relationships, we face unique challenges in achieving and monitoring performance against our high expectations and requirements. Nevertheless, Disney continues to develop innovative approaches to manage this extended supply chain. We work collaboratively with our licensees and vendors to educate them about labor rights expectations, require social compliance audits to assess labor conditions, and work with external organizations to foster safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces wherever Disney-branded products are made.
