  • 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.

One that for purists and originators might be seen as lead astray in a globalizing circus of commercialization and remediation of itself, handing this hip-hop narrative over to people, who do not stem from the streets of suburban New York and of African-American decent, initially, as well as Latin- Americans and other ethnic minorities living in these same neighborhoods. Hip- hop artists are often anxious to defend its own original ethnical and socio- geographical confines. “First there was African music,” Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson firmly states in his book about his life as a hip-hop artist – among other things. “You know how Public Enemy says, in “Can’t Truss It,” that they came from “the base motherland, the place of the drums”? Africa, that’s the place they’re talking about,” quoting the hip-hop moguls, formed in 1986 (9). If one feels like subscribing to these thoughts, they might agree on the idea that the authentic culture of hip-hop stems from 1970 to 1979 and is interwoven with a great deal of African heritage. This was “before hip-hop was “commercialized” in the form of recordings,” according to some of the firmest purist fans, artists and scientists out there (Justin A.
