Supply Chain & Ethics
With a global supply chain spanning more than 100 factory sites. we recognise that ethical and social risks can exist in even the most established sourcing networks. Rather than assuming compliance, we take a proactive approach built on due diligence, supplier engagement and continuous improvement.
Through independent audits against recognised standards including BSCI and SMETA, we work closely with suppliers to promote transparency, fair treatment and responsible business practices. Our aim is not simply to monitor compliance, but to help create better outcomes for the people behind the products we source and support higher standards throughout our supply chain.
Responsible Sourcing
Responsible sourcing is about more than knowing where a product comes from. It means understanding the businesses and people behind it, setting clear expectations and using our relationships with suppliers to drive continual improvement.
Human Rights
Respect for human rights is fundamental to how we work with our people, suppliers and partners. With a global supply chain spanning more than 100 factory sites, we recognise that risks such as forced labour, child labour and other forms of exploitation can exist beyond our direct operations. Understanding and addressing those risks is therefore a core part of our approach to responsible sourcing.
Our human rights due diligence is guided by internationally recognised standards, including the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Our Modern Slavery Statement sets out how we assess and address the risks of modern slavery and forced labour, while our Supplier Code of Conduct establishes the standards we expect throughout our supply chain.
We are continuing to strengthen our approach through supplier engagement, independent audits and targeted training for employees involved in supplier visits. Building the knowledge and confidence to recognise, report and respond to potential risks is an important part of ensuring that human rights remain a practical responsibility, rather than simply a policy commitment.
