Q: Do my factories have to participate in the WRIP program if we do
business with Sears Holdings Corporation in China?
A: No, any factory actively producing Sears Holdings Corporation
merchandise in China may participate in the program so long as they
agree to the five requirements discussed above. For factories that
falsify their records, underpay their workers and /or work excessive
hours, Sears Holdings Corporation strongly encourages participation
to reduce the risk that Sears Holdings Corporation will terminate
the factory.

問：如果我的工廠與Sears Holdings Corporation公司在中國有業(yè)務(wù)協(xié)作，都必須參與WRIP改善計(jì)劃嗎？
答：不。只要理解并同意上面的五點(diǎn)要求，任何在中國生產(chǎn)Sears Holding
Corporation公司產(chǎn)品的工廠，就可以考慮參與WRIP改善計(jì)劃。當(dāng)工廠支付工人工資低于法定標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，或超時(shí)工作，或制作虛假工時(shí)工資記錄，
Sears Holdings Corporation公司都鼓勵其參與WRIP改善計(jì)劃，以降低被Sears Holdings

Corporation so that we can work together on developing a corrective
action plan.

問：我在印度的工廠可以參與WRIP改善計(jì)劃嗎？
答：不可以。WRIP改善計(jì)劃僅適用于中國范圍內(nèi)的Sears Holdings
Corporation公司協(xié)作工廠。其他國家的協(xié)作工廠應(yīng)努力確保符合所在國（地區(qū)）的法律和SEARS公司采購準(zhǔn)則。如果在遵守法規(guī)和準(zhǔn)則有難度時(shí)，Sears
Holdings Corporation公司鼓勵協(xié)作工廠與Sears Holdings

Q: What are the benefits of participation in the WRIP program?
A: The benefit includes less frequent audits and the ability to
continually produce Sears Holdings Corporation orders so long as the
factory adheres to the WRIP requirements. Another key benefit is
that factories will develop their own Improvement Plan based on
their own business needs. While Sears Holdings Corporation will
review the plan, it will likely be accepted so long as it is
accurate anti complete, within the standards or other factories in
the same area/business, and the factory is willing to make gradual
progress to correct noted deficiencies according to the Improvement
Plan. This is a key benefit because it allows a factory to determine
the timeframe it can make the necessary changes to make sustainable
progress towards compliance.

Holdings Corporation公司一般會接受，這是最大的益處。Sears Holdings
