Vendor Code of Conduct

               The TJX Companies, Inc. requires that all products offered for
            sale in our stores be produced in facilities that meet specific
            criteria, as set forth below:
            Compliance With Applicable Laws and Regulations
               Our vendors and the factories in which the merchandise they sell
            us is manufactured (collectively, our "vendors") must comply with
            all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to
            all environmental laws and regulations, and all laws, regulations
            and internationally adopted restrictions concerning bribery and
            corruption.
            Health and Safety
                Our vendors must provide their workers with a safe and healthy
            workplace and safe working conditions.
            Child Labor
                Our vendors must not use child labor. The term "child" will be
            governed by the national law of the country in which the production
            is being conducted, including laws defining the age for completing
            compulsory education. If the laws of that country do not provide a
            definition or if the definition includes individuals below the age
            of 14, we define a "child" to be anyone below 14 years of age.
            Forced Labor
                Our vendors must not use forced labor, whether in the form of
            prison labor, indentured labor, bonded labor, or otherwise.
            Wages and Benefits
                Our vendors must abide with all applicable laws relating to
            wages and benefits, and must pay the legally prescribed minimum wage
            or the prevailing industry wage, whichever is higher.
            Working Hours
                Our vendors must not require their employees, on a
            regularly-scheduled basis, to work in excess of 60 hours per week
            (or fewer hours if prescribed by applicable laws and regulations).
            All overtime must be voluntary and must be fully compensated in
            accordance with the requirements of local law, and except in
            extraordinary circumstances, employees must be entitled to at least
            one day of rest in every seven-day period.
            Harassment or Abuse
                Our vendors must respect the rights and dignity of their
            employees. We will not tolerate human rights abuses, including
            physical, sexual, psychological or verbal harassment or abuse of
            workers.
            Discrimination
                Workers must be employed, retained and compensated based on
            their ability to perform their jobs, and must not be discriminated
            against on the basis of gender, race, color, national origin,
            religious, ethnic or cultural beliefs, age, or any other prohibited
            basis.
            Freedom of Association
                Our vendors must respect the rights of their workers to choose
            (or choose not) to freely associate and to bargain collectively
            where such rights are recognized by law.
            Environment
               Our vendors are strongly encouraged to share our commitment to
            environmentally friendly business practices such as reusing,
            reducing and recycling waste.
            Subcontractors
                Our vendors must ensure that all subcontractors and any other
            third parties they use in the production or distribution of goods
            offered for sale in our stores comply with the principles described
            in this Code of Conduct.
            Monitoring and Compliance
                TJX or its designated third party auditor or agent shall have
            the right to monitor and assess compliance with these principles. A
            violation of this Code of Conduct may result in required corrective
            action, cancellation of purchase order(s) and/or termination of the
            business relationship.
