  • Vertical Facility List
    Facility List The Walt Disney Company is committed to fostering safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces wherever Disney-branded products are manufactured. Numerous measures in support of this commitment are in place, including increased transparency. To that end, we have published this list of the roughly 7,600 facilities in over 70 countries that manufacture Disney-branded products sold, distributed or used in our own retail businesses such as The Disney Stores and Theme Parks, as well as those used in our internal operations. Our goal in releasing this information is to foster collaboration with industry peers, governments, non- governmental organizations and others interested in improving working conditions. Under our International Labor Standards (ILS) Program, facilities that manufacture products or components incorporating Disney intellectual properties must be declared to Disney and receive prior authorization to manufacture. The list below includes the names and addresses of facilities disclosed to us by vendors under the requirements of Disney’s ILS Program for our vertical business, which includes our own retail businesses and internal operations. The list does not include the facilities used only by licensees of The Walt Disney Company or its affiliates that source, manufacture and sell consumer products by and through independent entities. Disney’s vertical business comprises a wide range of product categories including apparel, toys, electronics, food, home goods, personal care, books and others. As a result, the number of facilities involved in the production of Disney-branded products may be larger than for companies that operate in only one or a limited number of product categories. In addition, because we require vendors to disclose any facility where Disney intellectual property is present as part of the manufacturing process, the list includes facilities that may extend beyond finished goods manufacturers or final assembly locations.

The economy of Japan, a major exporter, was deeply injured by the earthquake and tsunami of Mar. 11; the “Jasmine Revolution” in the Arab world brought on soaring oil prices; and in America, the world’s economic powerhouse, the pace of economic recovery was slow and unemployment was worse than expected. These factors, plus the worsening debt crises that brought some European countries to the verge of bankruptcy, filled the global economy with a high level of uncertainty. The developed countries were stuck in a mire of weak market confidence and overall demand and lacked the means to do much about it, and the ongoing high level of government debt prompted the affected countries to institute fiscal contraction plans; the emerging economies generally performed better than the developed countries, but they adopted contractionary monetary policies in response to worries about inflation. Monetary policy in the different countries, loose at the start of the year, became more conservative. Under the impact of global economic weakness Taiwan’s export growth began slowing appreciably in the fourth quarter; thanks to the continued improvement in domestic employment and the large increase in visitor arrivals, however consumption-related indexes performed well and resulted in the stable development of Taiwan’s overall economy during the past year.
