"Through these audits, factories are assessed against modern slavery issues as well as workplace indicators that may lead to modern slavery, providing our business and the suppliers’ factories with clear corrective action plans to improve, close and verify non-compliance issues. These assessments are administrated and monitored by our ethical sourcing team, and findings from these assessments are recorded and reported on in both ad-hoc and regular reporting processes. The most critical issues, where immediate interventions are required, are escalated to relevant stakeholders and our executive level for awareness, consultation and approval of actions to remediate issues, which may include termination of supplier relationships where required."

"Compliance with the Code and Supplier Agreement is monitored preventatively through independent third-party social compliance auditing against the framework of these Codes, where critical breaches of key issues are considered to be modern slavery indicators. Non-compliances identified in these audits result in a corrective plan being implemented, and are followed up to ensure all issues are rectified."
"If a supplier is unwilling to remedy breaches, or has a zero-tolerance issue, Country Road Group has the right to terminate the trading arrangement if required"
