"The inspections effectively confirmed what the managers of the production divisions had already perceived; most issues were found at the sub-contracting level, with the Leather Goods Division experiencing more than the Footwear Division. The controls over first-tier suppliers were more encouraging, as they confirmed the effectiveness of the streamlining decisions of recent years.

The breaches found in the sub-contracting relationships regarded primarily social security and tax aspects, the workplace, occupational safety and the work force employed in terms of contractual conditions and actual working hours. These situations led to, in the most serious cases reported in the Leather Goods supply chain, the termination of some first-tier and second-tier supply relationships. When the breaches were not deemed serious, the Leather Goods Division required corrective actions as an essential condition for continuance of the supply relationship, to be implemented within a set time frame. The breaches identified in the Footwear Division during the inspections undertaken during the period under analysis are still being evaluated as of December 31, 2020." p.6-7
