"All business partners need to comply with our Sustainability Commitment and Code of Ethics and only in exceptional cases do we agree to not have these documents signed.Production units for H&M products must meet our minimum requirements, which are ascertained through an audit prior to production. As of today our audit scope and monitoring programme covers 100% of first tier manufacturing and processing units as well as second tier component suppliers of fabric and yarn amounting to approximately 60% of production volume.Continuous follow-up of business partners’ implementation of the Sustainability Commitment is an important risk assessment tool.
