Taking care of our own.
Our dedicated workers are at the center of everything that CMB produces. They’re behind the high quality products we create and CMB’s successes as a whole. We don’t take that for granted, which is why we make sure our workers are well taken care of.
Employee Benefits
We provide an array of employee benefits including medical insurance, travel for staff members to visit family, and 10 vacation days per year.
Growth & Education
We offer growth and training opportunities for employees to elevate their skills, earnings, and job titles. In fact, a portion of CMB profits goes directly to a fund to sponsor employees seeking higher education.
Environment
Environment
Staff are required to conduct operations in a manner consistent with international environmental laws and regulations, as detailed in the written environmental policies and standards provided to each employee. Vendors are encouraged to implement systems to minimize the negative impact of their operations on the environment e.g., reduce waste, utilize recycled and non-toxic materials when possible.
Work Hours
Work Hours
The total number of hours worked by CMB employees must not exceed 60 hours per week, including overtime, unless exceptional circumstances occur. Overtime must be voluntary and mutually agreed upon, and employees must be compensated according to local law or industry standard, whichever is higher. Workers shall be given at least one rest day in any seven day period.
Minimum Age
Minimum Age
CMB encourages the development of lawful workplace apprenticeship programs, whenever possible, for the eductional benefit of our workers, provided that all participants meet both the minimum legal age requirements and follow all applicable laws and regulations concerning juvenile/young workers. No work that may jeopardize health or safety is to be performed by workers under the age of 18.
Dormitories
Dormitories
CMB ensures its workers are as well taken care of as possible. Under certain circumstances, CMB offers housing accommodations to workers. CMB ensures that the quality of such living quarters is at least equal to local independent housing, and that the living environment is clean, healthy, and safe for all residents, with adequate privacy, security, ventilation, and living space.
Health & Safety
Health & Safety
CMB ensures that employees are provided with a safe and healthy work environment and comply with local health and safety regulations. Adequate measures, systems, protections, and training are implemented to prevent harm to workers’ health, safety, and well-being. Women who are pregnant will never be required to do work that is prejudicial to the health of the mother or child.
Employment
Employment
CMB complies with the local requirements for wages and benefits or according to prevailing industry standard. If the two are conflicting, the higher standard will be applied. Worker compensation, including wages, overtime pay, benefits, and paid leave, must meet or exceed the legal minimum or industry standards or collective bargaining agreements, whichever is higher. All employment shall be at-will.
