Would Contessa ever use suppliers who engage in unacceptable labor practices?
A. Never. Contessa adheres to a stringent code of corporate responsibility. We own our production facilities and deeply care for the welfare of our employees, neighborhood and environment. Contessa makes sure that each and every company employee works for a fair wage, during decent hours and in healthy conditions. Contessa also collaborates with our suppliers to limit overtime, ensure freedom of association and extend respectable human living conditions that are otherwise taken for granted in the United States. The bottom line for Contessa is that good corporate social responsibility is part of our everyday company philosophy. It absolutely has to be.
