It explicitly mentions its suppliers signing a master sourcing agreement which includes VS & Company policies. Since the Supplier Code of Conduct is one of the Company's policy, we may consider that the Supplier Code of Conduct is included in the contract.
pg. 1
"IPS defines “supplier” as the vendor or partner who has signed the Master Sourcing Agreement (MSA) directly with VS&Co."
"VS&Co suppliers must sign the MSA before VS&Co can issue purchase orders and the supplier can begin producing our products. The MSA states that suppliers must comply with VS&Co policies, which includes the Guidebook – a collection of policies and all applicable laws and regulations."
It is clearly mentioned here that the Supplier certifies compliance with the Supplier Code of Conduct in its written Master Sourcing Agreement.
Traceability Risk assessment, pg. 2
"Once a supplier has passed the risk assessment, the relationship between Victoria’s Secret & Co. and a qualified supplier begins with a written master sourcing agreement wherein the supplier certifies that its factories and any that it may contract with will comply with Victoria’s Secret & Co.’s Supplier Code of Conduct, including codes and any applicable laws pertaining to slavery and human trafficking. No subcontracting is permitted without prior approval."
