25 Apparel and footwear supply chains are complex and far reaching, making it easier to hide the exploitation of workers. On any given day, 50 million people find themselves in a situation where they face modern slavery.* We seek to have 100% visibility of our supply chain and strive to build a fair, ethical and transparent supply chain that protects and respects workers rights and improves working conditions. We do this through robust policies and governance processes, regular risk assessments and audits, and transparent supplier relationships. We also work together with organisations and businesses from across the globe on industry-wide solutions to continuously improve our ethical trading practices. One of the tools we use to assess working conditions in our supply chain is the Sustainable Apparel Coalition Facility Social and Labour Module (FSLM). In 2022 we encouraged more factories to complete the Higg FSLM verified self-assessment as this helps manage our labour risk. From 2021 there was a 67% increase in the number of tier 1 factories who completed the verified FSLM assessment. As a SAC member, we are encouraging more of the factories we use to the Higg FSLM verified self- assessment within our third party audit programme. We also provided targeted training for suppliers to train their employees who work in factory-facing roles on health and safety practices, labour laws and the Higg Index FEM and FSLM modules. This helps suppliers better track their progress.
