"Code of Ethics

Kering’s approach to responsibility with regard to stakeholders is shaped by the principles set out in its Code of Ethics, and by a strong determination to implement these principles internally and externally. The Code of Ethics, which includes the Suppliers’ Charter, setting out what is expected of all Kering suppliers, forms the cornerstone of the commitment taken by Kering, its Houses and its suppliers, especially with regard to human rights, fundamental freedoms, human health and safety, and the environment. Suppliers are required to abide by these principles themselves and to extend these requirements to their own suppliers and subcontractors"
