Managing an ethical and sustainable global supply chain

Our product supply chain is global, and while this has a positive impact on many workers and their families, it also brings risk. We acknowledge this risk and aim to eliminate any unethical working practices in our supply chain. To do this we carefully select the best suppliers, ensuring we deliver quality products that have a responsible social and environmental track record.

Our vision of a sustainable business means an active commitment to ensuring that our suppliers factories adhere to ethical practices throughout production processes. As an organization that relies on a global supply chain, we recognise the pressing—and ongoing—need to call out and mitigate unethical practices within our supply chain, particularly with regards to modern slavery. This umbrella term encapsulates illegal activities such as human trafficking, the sale and exploitation of children, and forcing individuals to work illegally and against their will.

We are committed to taking an active part in elevating ethically sourced and produced suppliers, with a Supplier Code of Conduct and an Anti-Modern Slavery Policy that includes details around our sustainability expectations from potential suppliers as the firm foundation of our supply chain. This means conducting ongoing reassessments of our supply chain in line with those guiding principles and policies, and providing relevant training to our staff to ensure the appropriate decision makers within our business are aware of the risks and implications of unethical practices.
