"We believe in continuous improvement and in working with our suppliers to ensure corrective actions have been implemented. We are committed to delivering unannounced audits of all tier 1 and tier 2 sites around the world at least once per year"

pg. 23

"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."

pg. 30

"We recognise that the minimum requirements are only the first step in truly mitigating risk and providing remedy for workers. By driving action on transparency and continuing to engage our brands to move beyond compliance, we hope to create a movement within the industry where key players are working collectively and collaboratively with ASOS to address modern slavery risks."

The evidence presented above regarding the Uygur Region is captured in the sector-specific metrics.

Termination of contracts unrelated to the Uygur Region is on pages 20-21. Remediation on pages 27 and 36. Corrective actions page 20 (see above)
