"Policies and contractual controls

ASOS Supplier Ethical Code: is aligned with the Ethical Trading Initiative Base Code and International Labour Organisation’s Fundamental Conventions and defines the minimum standards we require from our suppliers. It includes what constitutes forced or compulsory labour.

ASOS Child Labour Remediation and Young Worker Policy: sets out the steps suppliers need to take to protect young workers and to make sure no children are involved in the manufacture of any of our products. If we discover child labour in our supply chain, the policy sets out our remediation process. It also prohibits the recruitment of young migrant workers through labour agents.

ASOS Migrant Worker Policy: sets out supplier requirements to safeguard the rights and welfare of migrant workers, a group that has been identified as vulnerable to exploitation and modern slavery. In 2019, we developed more detailed guidelines to accompany the policy for suppliers employing migrant workers.

ASOS Homeworker Policy: developed in 2019, this outlines our positive recognition of the role homeworkers play in our supply chain and sets our supplier requirements to protect and respect homeworkers engaged in the manufacture of our products.

ASOS Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining Policy: newly developed in 2021, this policy expands on the freedom of association requirements outlined in our Supplier Ethical Code and recognises the role of freedom of association and collective bargaining as being fundamental for the realisation of other labour rights, setting out supplier requirements to ensure this right is protected."

We have also updated our policies for third-party brands to further embed our requirements within our contractual agreements (p.30)

I also ticked the option of Codes include clauses on modern slavery (see above, ASOS supplier ethical code)
