Pg. 2

“We acknowledge that we have a vital role to play in identifying and addressing any risks of modern slavery in our operations and supply chains and we accept that responsibility without hesitation. We will not tolerate any form of modern slavery (whether coercion, human trafficking, slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, forced marriage, debt bondage, the worst forms of child labour and deceptive recruiting) in our business.”

Pg. 10

“Our Supplier policy suite to which all suppliers must comply includes the Forever New Supplier Code of Conduct, which addresses forced labour risks including child labour and debt bondage. The Forever New Supplier Code of Conduct, coupled with our ethical sourcing policy suite, stipulates the minimum requirements of our trading relationships.”

“Since our last statement, we have also finalised our new Merchandise Supply Terms, which includes a clause addressing modern slavery risks. This clause requires suppliers to commit:

• not to engage in modern slavery; • to take steps to identify and mitigate modern slavery risks; • to undertake modern slavery training; • to permit Forever New access to premises of a supplier and their vendors to verify compliance with these requirements; and • to advise Forever New of any instances of modern slavery in its operations.

It will be a condition of supply to Forever New that all merchandise suppliers must comply with the Merchandise Supply Terms. The Merchandise Supply Terms will be released to suppliers in 2022.

Our pro forma services agreement has been updated to include our modern slavery clause as outlined above. In the next reporting period, our Purchase Order Terms and Conditions will be updated to require compliance with our ethical sourcing policies and modern slavery and will be rolled out to suppliers together with the new Merchandise Supply Terms.”
