For Tier 1: 

Direct suppliers comply with the Global Sourcing Principles: p.2 'we require all our product and major suppliers to sign up to our Global Sourcing Principles and Anti-Bribery and Corruption policy during our new supplier onboarding procedure through which we determine the supplier’s ability to meet our standards'

The GSP document prohibits the use of forced and child labour, recruitment fees, ihttps://www.mulberry.com/plugins/investor_relations/pdf/CSR_Global_Animal_Sourcing_Principles_2023.pdf

GPS, p.2: Paragraph 1: "There shall be no recruitment of child labour. Children under the age of 15 shall not be recruited or employed (or higher age if required by the law)."

Paragraph 2:  "There shall be no forced, bonded, or involuntary prison labour."

GPS, p.2: "Worker-paid recruitment fees are prohibited; workers must not be required to lodge ‘deposits’ or their identity papers on commencement of employment."

Paragraph 5: "Wages and benefits paid for a standard working week must meet, as a minimum, national legal requirements, or industry benchmark standards, whichever is higher."

The onboarding process for suppliers includes a 'confirmation of adherence to our Global Sourcing Principles and Anti- Corruption and Bribery Policy", but it is not clearly stated that contracts include clauses on forced labour.

Beyond Tier 1

In the statement, indirect suppliers (tier 2) are only expected to comply with the Global Sourcing Principles: 'We expect our suppliers to apply these principles within their own supply chains and this is clearly stated in our Chairman’s statement at the beginning of our Global Sourcing Principles.' The GSP mention that suppliers should apply the principles 'including with their own employees and suppliers.' Looking at Theresa's methodology, it seems like 'expecting' suppliers to comply is not sufficient.
