AD is a globally recognized German based sportswear company that sells branded sportswear mainly cloths and footwear throughout the world. Many of its brands are promoted by well-known sports stars, who appear in company's advertisement and wear its product while competing in events.
The company designs its product in Germany but outsource their manufacture to partners mostly in Bangladesh due to its cheap labor cost. Recently, it has come to the attention of the sportswear company's board of directors that one of the manufacturing companies employs children at its factories. These children are paid very low wages and work long hours, so they are unable to attend school.
