Ethical sourcing
We audit all our factories against an agreed code of conduct that is aligned to the ETI Base Code, an internationally recognised set of labour standards based on International Labour Organization conventions.
This code of conduct ensures employees in factories are treated fairly and lays out our position on bribery, transparency and unauthorised subcontracting.
