"OUR SUPPLY CHAINS

Our supply chain is comprised of 95 Tier 1 suppliers. Tier 1 of our supply chain has been our priority to date, however we are working to increase the transparency of our supply chains through mapping to our Tier 2 and beyond. Our main categories of spend include footwear leather, craft leather, footwear components, garment fabric, headwear, socks, external garments, packaging including boxes and swing tags, threads, adhesives, chemicals, craft items, garment zips, burrs and rivets, and fittings.

Our primary manufacturing facility is located in Salisbury, South Australia, and more than 65 per cent of all revenue is generated from this location. While R.M.Williams has established relationships with several overseas manufacturing partners, including those in China, Vietnam, Madagascar, Portugal, Bangladesh and Pakistan, we are committed to supporting and growing Australian manufacturing capabilities as a business we are actively moving toward 100 per cent of all R.M.Williams boots and leather goods – including all bags and wallets — to be exclusively made in Australia.

Where possible, we prioritise sourcing materials from local suppliers, however, due to the nature of the materials in our expanded range we increasingly source from 26 overseas countries, including Australia, Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Madagascar, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Pakistan, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States and Vietnam. These materials include leather, woven and knitted fabrics, footwear components, clothing sundries along with packaging materials. Several of these source countries are generally considered to have a higher inherent risk for modern slavery. We are conducting further due diligence on the suppliers that we work with. In particular, we are assessing the risks and actions required in relation to forced labour risks wherever they may arise in the world, including the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Transparency is important to us and we list the names and addresses of suppliers that help make our products on our website.

Our Manufacturing Sourcing Team is responsible for procuring finished items across the following categories:

• Clothing i.e., shirts, bottoms, knits, outerwear and headwear;

• Footwear i.e., boots and casual footwear; and

• Craft Items i.e., belts, bags and wallets."
