ASOS Suppliers are classified into 5 different categories: Vertical Direct, Direct, Full Service Vendors, Agent and Commission Agent. The ASOS Sourcing Strategy is to increase our mix of vertical and direct suppliers. Although we expect to continue to require services of Full-Service Vendors and Agents, we are actively aiming to reduce our reliance on this type of trade partner. ASOS aims to significantly reduce commission agents
from its portfolio over the next few years. ASOS actively monitors the mix of these supplier types, ensuring they are appropriate to the type of product we are sourcing.
In 2018, ASOS sourced from 169 suppliers, working with 479 Tier 1 factories and 575 Tier 2 & 3 factories (sub-contracted factories).
