But pedaling the planet forward includes making sure the workers in your supply chain are not cheated out of their wages.
A recent report found that 831 workers at the APS sewing factory in El Salvador were wrongfully denied $2 million in compensation after the factory shut down. Two brands have committed to pay the workers $1.34 million, while $659,000 remains outstanding. Specialized has offered nothing and refused to communicate.
Specialized’s own company Code of Conduct requires its supplier to follow the law and Specialized proudly lists Respect for People as one of its three core values.
“Respect for People: We promote human rights in our offices and distribution centers, in our supply chain, and in our rider communities.”
Tell Specialized: Respect your workers and pay them what they are owed.
