The Disney factory audit focuses on social responsibility and intellectual property protection, aiming to ensure that suppliers respect employees' rights and prevent infringing products from entering the market.

The human rights assessment verifies the actual situation through anonymous employee interviews.

Rectification Opportunities After Failure: One rectification opportunity is given, with a deadline of 12 months. Failure in the reaudit may result in the cancellation of supplier qualifications.
