"Uyghur forced labour

In our previous modern slavery statement we acknowledged the risk of modern slavery and human rights violations in Xinjiang, targeting the Uyghur population and other Turkic and Muslim-majority peoples on the basis of their religion and ethnicity.

The Coalition to End Forced Labour in the Uyghur Region also publicly released the ‘Brand Commitment to Exit the Uyghur Region’ (Call to Action) in July 2020. ASOS is a signatory of the Call to Action and we are working to meet the associated commitments, including steps to assist suppliers to finding alternative sources of fabrics, and terminating all business relationships in the Uyghur region. After conducting a thorough review of our supply chain in July 2020, we identified two factories in our supply chain who’s parent companies had links to the Uyghur region and therefore took swift steps to responsibly disengage between November 2020 and January 2021."

The evidence presented above does not show the company's identification of an incident within their operations and/or supply chain. Rather, the company's identification of risk. However, the company does mention providing remediation to a case so I have left the answer as Yes. See below (p.27):

- 1 child completed our child labour remediation programme, which

covers schooling of the child, the payment of a living wage to their

family, and close monitoring of the child to ensure their wellbeing.

The child is now continuing with a 2.5-year sustainable education

programme funded by ASOS.
