Company has suppliers independently audited

"Merlin has a team within its retail buying group dedicated to ensuring compliance within areas of supply that are deemed 'high risk'. 'High risk' commercial suppliers that produce Merlin Entertainments branded products are independently audited against the Merlin Social Audit Report to ensure continued compliance against our standards;

- where factories fall beneath the required standards, corrective action plans are created and timescales for improvements agreed. A second audit will follow to ensure agreed standards are then being met. Failure of a second audit will automatically delist the supplier"
