Maintaining and continuously improving ethical, social and environmental standards is a fundamental responsibility. Transparency, integrity and accountability are applied throughout the supply chain, with social responsibility and compliance with international regulations forming an essential part of the Code of Conduct.
Clear expectations are set to ensure that business is conducted responsibly and in line with recognised global standards.
Responsibility extends beyond business operations to the people involved in them. Employees, their families and the local communities connected to production must be treated with respect and fairness.
Health, safety and wellbeing are prioritised at every level. Safe working conditions, fair compensation and decent living standards are basic human rights and form the foundation of responsible manufacturing. These principles guide all partnerships and sourcing decisions.
Collaboration is therefore limited to suppliers and partners who can demonstrate adherence to ethical production practices. Both mandatory and voluntary monitoring programmes are used to ensure compliance and to verify that standards meet — and where possible exceed — international requirements.
Third-party certifications play an important role in ensuring transparency and accountability across the supply chain.
Amfori BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) is an industry framework designed to assess and improve workplace conditions. It is based on a set of core principles covering areas such as fair employment contracts, working hours, remuneration, health and safety, and the protection of young workers. All suppliers are subject to BSCI audits as a minimum requirement, with many choosing to pursue the more advanced SA8000 certification.
Amfori BEPI (Business Environmental Performance Initiative) supports companies in improving environmental performance within factories and agricultural production. The framework provides practical guidance for reducing environmental impact, managing risks and improving resource efficiency across global supply chains.
SA8000 is a globally recognised certification standard for social accountability. It provides a structured approach to monitoring working conditions and driving continuous improvement within production environments.
Suppliers certified under SA8000 demonstrate a verified commitment to ethical treatment of employees and compliance with internationally accepted labour standards.
Further information on initiatives related to working conditions and social responsibility can be found under Code of Conduct and Care & Fair.
