Our policies in relation to slavery and human traffickingWe recognise that human rights abuses have the potential to exist within global garment supply chains and as a responsible retailer we have the duty to understand and address these issues, working together with key partners and stakeholders in order to create sustainable change. In 2015 we developed and updated our code of conduct, ‘The FatFace Way of Life’ as a way of sharing our values and expectations with our core product suppliers. These expectations are based on universally recognised standards such as the ETI Base Code and UN guiding principles on human rights.4
