This is a competitive advantage in our industry, with our 50-strong team regularly auditing direct suppliers to ensure that the products they manufacture are of the highest quality and they are treating their employees fairly.
Our commitments
Our supply chain is covered by direct auditing and assurance practices with 1,022 audits in high risk regions completed in 2023.
Expanding our programme to ensure products from all high-risk regions are sourced from assessed and compliant suppliers by 2025.
Continuing to take a proactive, risk-based approach to responsible sourcing, identifying common issues in our supply chain and working closely with suppliers to reduce the future incidences of these.
We and our customers expect the highest quality and labour standards for the products we provide.
We respect all legal requirements regarding raw materials and manufacturing processes that are relevant to our product ranges.
This means building solid and lasting relationships with our suppliers, providing them with support and guidance as well as monitoring their social performance.
We consider our suppliers to be our partners and strive for them to feel the same about us.
