Third party/independent auditing of suppliers and on-site visits (independent):

"FatFace has robust processes in place to ensure all Tier 1 factories are audited annually against the ETI Base Code, national and other applicable laws. These audits are conducted by nominated independent third-party auditors on a semi announced or unannounced basis." (Pg. 4)

"Despite the ongoing disruption around the globe, we continue to deliver our robust Responsible Sourcing programme, making sure that annual due diligence 3rd party audits are in place for 89% of our first-tier factories and undertaking more in-depth Verification Assessments, follow up and Root Cause Analysis visits at 28 key sites." (Pg. 5)

On-site visits (self-reporting):

"The FatFace Responsible Sourcing team visited 7 key factories in India in May 2022, our first direct visits post-Covid. This was a great way to re-engage physically with our factories, walk the factory floors and talk to the workers ourselves. This trip was invaluable to see the conditions first hand post-Covid and check in on compliance with our FatFace Way of Life code of conduct." (Pg. 6)
