pg. 3

"- Our internal Code of Ethics outlines our responsibility as employees to respect all internationally recognised human rights and our right and duty to report any breaches to those rights through internal channels as well as through BESTSELLER’s Whistleblower Function where employees can chose to report breaches anonymously. Our suppliers are also presented with a version of the Code of Ethics which reflects the same principles. This is part of our general supplier requirements."

The evidence presented above does not disclose any of the mechanisms through which these reports can be raised. However, the company states in page 3 that:

"All colleagues of BESTSELLER are encouraged to raise concerns about perceived breaches of

our Code of Ethics or other BESTSELLER policies, or violations of laws and regulations. Colleagues of BESTSELLER can choose to raise such concerns to their management or to the local PEOPLE department. As a last resort, colleagues can choose to report via our internal whistleblower function.". Therefore, I have checked focal point for employees. Given that these internal whistleblower function is not disclosed, I have unchecked Hotline, email, contact form for employees and suppliers. Also, given the absence of evidence, I have also unchecked whistleblower protections to employees and suppliers.
