"Last year the business identified a number of risk indicators to the Business and detailed how it would address those areas for concern. The approach included:

Establishing the ‘Supplier Code of Conduct’ for our goods and service suppliers which all existing and new suppliers are required to sign and adhere to. Copies of which are stored at Head Office.

Establishing an Ethical Sourcing Policy which details the above mentioned Code of Conduct. This Policy details our commitment as a Business and our expectations of the suppliers that we work with.

Guidance and training provided to all relevant personnel with regard to identifying potential risks during supplier visits and appropriate escalation processes.

This year, following on from the above, Footasylum Ltd are working to improve the transparency lower down the supply chain and with support of a new Supplier Manual will aim to ensure that any manufacturers who sub contract work on behalf of the Business also comply with our Code of Conduct and Ethical Sourcing Policies".
