What is a Disney ILS Audit? (Audit Process, Check List, and Precautions)

A **Disney ILS audit** (International Labor Standards) is an audit process Disney uses to ensure that factories manufacturing Disney-branded products meet stringent labor and environmental standards. Commonly referred to as a **Disney social compliance audit**, **Disney factory audit**, or simply a **Disney audit**, this process upholds Disney’s commitment to ethical and compliant production.

1. Disney Factory Audit Process

The **Disney factory audit** process generally involves three steps:

  1. **On-site Inspections**: Auditors assess the factory’s fire safety, workplace environment, and environmental conditions.
  2. **Documentation Review**: Auditors review key documents, requiring originals (not copies) to ensure their authenticity and completeness.
  3. **Employee Interviews**: Auditors select employees randomly to assess working conditions, human rights practices, workplace safety, and benefits policies.

### 2. Disney Social Compliance Audit File Checklist

To pass the **Disney social compliance audit**, factories must provide Disney with various documents to verify compliance. The required documents include:

  1. Attendance records for the last 12 months
  2. Payroll records for the past 12 months
  3. Personnel roster and employee personnel files with employment contracts
  4. Social insurance receipts, rosters, and certificates of compliance
  5. Business license
  6. Fire inspection reports or fire compliance certificates
  7. Records of fire drills, emergency evacuation plans, and records of workplace accidents
  8. Environmental compliance certificates
  9. Factory rules or employee handbook
  10. Documents showing local minimum wage requirements
  11. Equipment safety permits (e.g., elevator or kitchen safety permits)
  12. Special worker licenses (e.g., elevator operators, electricians, kitchen staff health permits)
  13. Documentation from the local labor bureau permitting extended overtime
  14. Medical checkup records and labor bureau registration records for minor employees
  15. Factory floor plan
  16. Additional documents as needed per audit requirements

3. Precautions for Disney Audit Application

When preparing for a **Disney audit**, factories should be mindful of several important points to ensure compliance:

  1. **Subcontracting Regulations**: Manufacturers must have written permission from Disney to use subcontractors, who must also comply with Disney’s Code of Conduct.
  2. **Compliance for Subcontractors**: Any subcontractors producing Disney-branded products must undergo a Disney audit and adhere to Disney’s compliance guidelines.
  3. **Disney FAMA Requirement**: Manufacturers must submit a **Disney FAMA** (Facility and Merchandise Authorization) for outsourced production, certifying the factory as Disney-approved.
  4. **Obtaining FAMA Documentation**: If the FAMA form is not completed, the factory must contact their Disney licensee to obtain and submit it.
  5. **Individual FAMA for Each Factory**: Disney requires that a separate FAMA be completed for each facility involved in Disney-branded product manufacturing.
