"As part of our Vendor Code of Conduct, each Tier 1 factory is onboarded and signs up to our ethical trade program (detailed below) and these vendors agree to our allow us to inspect each Tier 1 factory.

The components of this program are detailed more fully below.

Our goal is to develop, with our supply chain partners and factories, a roadmap which aims at communicating clear guidelines to support our ethical trade policies and standards. We ask that our partners work with us to seek to uphold basic human rights and that our Tier 1 partners confirm they are aligned with, and will comply with, the standards and requirements we have set to govern our working arrangement.

We have established our human rights policies by aligning to the following International Labour Organization (‘ILO’) conventions as our guiding principles. These basic human rights include, but are not restricted to, the following fundamental freedoms and rights:

Freedom from discrimination (ILO Convention 111) We employ and deal with all workers fairly and without discrimination regardless of their race, religion, sex or disability. We do not discriminate against individuals who wish to exercise their legitimate rights.

Freedom from slavery or servitude (ILO Conventions 29 & 105) We oppose forced labour, prison labour and bonded labour (people forced to work until they have paid off a debt). We never confiscate identity papers, forbid workers to leave facilities or coerce workers with threats of violence or non-payment.

Freedom of association (ILO Conventions 87 & 98) We believe in freedom of expression and freedom of thought when exercised in accordance with local laws. All workers have the right to form and join groups for the support and advancement of their occupational interests. We ensure that the voice of workers are fairly heard and taken into account.

Freedom from invasion of privacy (ILO Convention 183) We respect the right of each worker to privacy and never engage in invasive conduct such as body searches or unwanted pregnancy testing.

Living wage (ILO Convention 95 & 131) All workers in the factory of our partners must be paid wages and benefits that should, at a minimum, be enough to meet basic needs for living and meet national legal standards.

Forced or prison labour (ILO Conventions 29 & 105) We have a zero tolerance for involuntary work in breach of the freedom from slavery or servitude described above.

Child labour (ILO Convention 138 & 182) We have a zero tolerance for the employment of anyone under 16 years or younger than the age for completing compulsory education in the country of manufacture (whichever is higher). Every child has the right to develop physically and mentally to her or his full potential and we expect our business partners to take all reasonable steps to confirm the age of all workers and uphold the fundamental protections set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

With this in mind, we have developed a Vendor Factory onboarding pack which seeks to communicate these expectations, help the factories in our supply chain prepare appropriately for social audits and to implement and embed our ethical trade policies."
