In terms of suppliers operating production plants that may be subject to spot checks, refusal to provide access to production lines shall be deemed as a serious breach by the Supplier. Any refusal by the Supplier to grant DESCOURS & CABAUD the right to verify compliance with the commitments made in this DESCOURS & CABAUD Supplier Code of CSR Commitments, or failure of the Supplier to remedy any noted violation within a reasonable timeframe agreed to between the parties, shall also be deemed as a serious breach by the Supplier. 09
