"02 Raw materials

03 Material and component production

Raw materials and component production for the fashion industry can involve exploitative labour practices, mainly in high risk countries. Global and complex supply chains make traceability a challenge.

We have a direct relationship with our Tier 1 suppliers. For suppliers further down the supply chain we are firstly increasing transparency and secondly require our fashion suppliers to adhere to the standards laid out in our policies e.g. the non-use of materials containing cotton sourced from Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan as per our Ethical Sourcing Standards."
