We continue to assess both core and noncore suppliers for compliance on a regular basis, but focus our own team’s efforts on our core suppliers, while non-core suppliers are covered by third-party auditors. These freed-up resources have allowed us to expand our assessments deeper into the supply chain. From 2016 onwards, our core suppliers’ list also includes the major component and material suppliers, while we have started to systematically conduct audits further upstream in our supply chain. Those suppliers often have never received any brand compliance audits before. In total 428 factories were audited, some of them more than once, leading to a total of 499 audits conducted in 2016.
