"At New Look we believe in respecting and improving the lives of workers right across our global business and supply chains. As such, we operate a zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, forced/compulsory labour and human trafficking in our day-to-day operations and in our supply chains."

"We are a member of the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI), an organisation which brings corporate, trade union and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) together in a unique alliance to tackle ethical issues. New Look has adopted the ETI’s Base Code of Labour Practice which is based on the standards of the International Labour Organization (ILO) as the foundation of our Ethical Aims. Under those Aims, employment should be freely chosen; forced, bonded or child labour cannot be used."

"We have a Code of Business Ethics, which sets out the ethical standards we require our people and those we work with to live up to.We work continually to develop and revise the Code to deal with new risk areas and the changing nature of our industry. As a result of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we have developed a policy dealing specifically with guarding against modern slavery and human trafficking."
