As we develop and expand our product range and supplier base, we ensure that all new and existing direct suppliers are aware of our corporate responsibility principles and undergo a process of assessment and where appropriate audit based on Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI) guidelines.

To date we have conducted ethical audits at 64 direct suppliers in countries of concern as defined by the ETI. These suppliers are audited on a three year cycle. If suppliers are unable to satisfactorily address matters raised in an audit assessment they will be rejected.
