Ethical Sourcing

We’re committed to making sure that everything we sell is made in a fair, responsible and sustainable way. We’ve set out clear guidelines for our factories and suppliers, to make sure that every person in the supply chain is safe, protected and properly represented. Each of our suppliers must sign and comply with our Corporate Social Responsibility Policy, which outlines eight important standards:

Freedom Of Association And The Right To Collective Bargaining

Every worker has the right to join trade unions and to bargain collectively, without the fear of discrimination. In countries where this is prevented by law, employers must help to find alternative methods of association and bargaining.

Employment Choice

Every person working for us, our suppliers and factories does so out of their own choice - with no forced, bonded or involuntary labour, and no human trafficking or slavery. Every employee is free to leave their employer after a reasonable notice period if they want to.

Safety And Hygiene

Our suppliers and factories have to provide a safe and hygienic working environment, preventing accidents and injuries, and providing access to clean toilets and safe drinking water. Physical abuse or discipline, sexual, or other harassment and verbal abuse is prohibited.

Child Labour

Our suppliers and the factories that we work with all have to agree not to use child labour, and to ensure that all employees under the age of 18 do not work at night or in dangerous conditions. All policies and procedures have to comply with the relevant ILO (International Labour Organisation) standards.

Living Wages

Everyone working for our suppliers and factories wage meets national legal standards, and is high enough to meet their basic needs. Workers are provided with clear information before accepting employment, and regular information about how their wages have been calculated. Deductions are never used as disciplinary measures.

Working Hours

Working hours have to comply with national legal standards, and workers can’t be made to work more than 48 hours per week, with one day off in every 7 day period. Overtime has to be voluntary and paid at a premium rate.

Discrimination

We ensure that all our suppliers and all our factories do not discriminate in the hiring, compensation, access to training, promotion, termination of employment or retirement for any reason of our workers.

Environmental Standards

We care about the outdoors, and we ensure that our suppliers and factories uphold the same sustainable standards as we do to protect the environment. This includes minimising waste, encouraging recycling, using recycled materials, promoting conservation, avoid pollutants, and never testing any products on animals or treating animals with undue cruelty.
