'POLICIES AND GOVERNANCE

A Ban on Uzbek and Turkmen Cotton

Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Sourcing Policy' - 5

'Call to Action - End Uyghur Forced Labour

As an endorsee, we have agreed to map our value chain

to ensure we are not knowingly supporting the abuse of Uyghur workers directly or indirectly.' - 10

'Although we have no tier 1 or tier 1+ factories registered in Xinjiang region, we are actively mapping our cotton supply chain to ensure that there is no risk of forced labour.' - 14

'Last year we mapped six facilities that were linked directly or indirectly to the labour use of Uyghur workers. We worked with our suppliers and have either terminated the relationship, or in most cases, worked with our suppliers to redirect the sourcing route.' - 14

'In FY21 we signed the Call to Action by The Coalition to End Forced Labour in the Uyghur Region to confirm our commitment that we will not knowingly source any raw material or services for the manufacturing of any of our product which exploits people from the Uyghur Region

in China.' - 15
