P.8

*We currently conduct on-site audits annually and according to the suppliers’ level of risk.

We will review our audit frequency and process to ensure we are undertaking these audits with specialised knowledge of appropriate ethical, social, safety and compliance measures.


P. 5

"We obtain Ethical Trade Audit and Occupation Health & Safety Audit reports annually from 95% of our supplier base to understand their operations and the demographics of workers in our supply chain.

We monitor our suppliers’ raw materials processing to ensure that our products don’t contain harmful substances.

Our suppliers regularly submit Test Reports from our nominated test agency."

 


P. 8

"We will review the opportunity for dialogue and training for suppliers to better understand how to implement effective practices.

 

As part of the monitoring system, we will review our timelines for audits. Enhancement of our audit process will be reviewed to include unannounced spot checks on factories, particularly those with increased risk factors such as lack of transparency, in order to provide greater focus on their inherent modern slavery risk of child labour, forced labour and excessive overtime. Worker interviews will be conducted to illuminate the real conditions faced by workers.

 

We will implement a remediation program to continuously improve performance in our supply chain. When non-compliances are identified through audits, these will be discussed with the identified factory and measures will be required to be developed for a corrective action plan focused on prevention. Progress on the action plan will be monitored by Lovisa. Any supplier who refuses to co-operate with this program will be phased out of the business."
