Although we have a rigorous auditing process and maintain a zero-tolerance approach to serious issues at our suppliers’ production units, more needs to be done to normalise good practice across the entire industry. That's why we are moving beyond auditing and compliance. To achieve our vision of safe and fair workplaces for all, we must employ a two-pronged approach: building our suppliers’ capacity, helping them to assess and strengthen their performance, and empowering their workers to act. In other words, audits won’t help us to improve working conditions altogether – but there is still a way to go to gather the important information we need to create change.
