"Table 3 – Progress against commitments in FY21

Our progress in FY21

We launched our Ethical Sourcing Policy in April 2021 and updated our trading terms to include reference to our Ethical Sourcing policy.

We compiled a Supplier Register of Tier 1, and where possible Tier 2, suppliers for suppliers of Accent owned brands.

We developed our approach to requesting suppliers of Accent owned brands to undertake social compliance audits, received reports for most of our suppliers and have started analysing these.

We met with key brand partners to understand their own modern slavery risk management activities. This is something we will continue to do as it helps inform our own approach as well as providing Accent Group with confidence that our brand partners are also committed to addressing modern slavery.

We delivered modern slavery training for team members involved in buying decisions. This included Senior Leaders across the business, our Buyers and Accent owned brands team members."
