Future Business in Burma

Company Statement:

Eddie Bauer is a company that believes in global sourcing of merchandise 
to meet our high standards for quality and value.

However, after carefully reviewing the current situation in Burma, the 
company has decided to move its future business from all Burmese 
factories to other factories around the world upon fulfillment of current 
contracts.

Eddie Bauer has a responsibility to make sound decisions in the 
management of our business.  After sveral months of researching the 
situation, we deemed that the political climate and growing opposition to 
trade in Burma posed a potential threat to our future manufacturing 
opportunities.

Despite the fact that the facilities meet or exceed our strict standards 
for fair and humane treatment, we have searched for, and recently found, 
viable alternate factories in other countries. 

Given this, and the fact that only a small percentage of our business was 
done in thos facilities, we can no longer support future business in Burma.
