Increasing transparency across our supply chain
In 2023, we began an extensive programme of engagement with our partners.
Gathering due diligence information used to provide Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) assurance as part of our governance standards.
To ensure our partners provide safe working conditions, respectful treatment of workers and manufacture products in a manner that does not exploit or present a danger to health, safety or the environment.
The multi-stage process included:
- Developing a Supplier Code of Conduct
- Engaging our partners to ensure understanding and adherence to the Code
- Due diligence process to review our primary partners current compliance to the Code
- Identified key areas of compliance & non-compliance
Over the next three years, we work collaboratively to address non-compliant areas and role out this programme to all our partners.
We will also be conducting a Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA), to ensure our partners are also compliant with global standards
