ETHICS

## ETHICAL VALUES

### WE CARE ABOUT THE IMPACT WE HAVE UPON WORKING CONDITIONS IN
THE COUNTRIES WHERE OUR GOODS ARE MANUFACTURED.

## “WE RECOGNISE THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO THE LIVES OF THE WORKERS PRODUCING OUR GOODS AND WE ARE COMMITED TO MAINTAINING OUR STANDARDS.”

As a responsible business, we believe that all our products should be ethically sourced; therefore we will only work with companies who share our belief and embrace our values of respect for employees, respect for suppliers, respect for customers and respect for the environment.

At Failsworth we fully recognise our responsibility to the environment and our impact upon it. We will continue to explore every opportunity to provide meaningful change and further reduce our impact.

All our manufacturers are audited for compliance to the ETI base code and all audits are made public via the SEDEX website.

We are continually reviewing our procedures and strengthening our ethical policy. Our policy is one of continuous improvement. To achieve this we have adopted a pro-active approach to working with our suppliers. All potential new suppliers are advised of our ethical requirements and they must complete an initial evaluation form. They are then subjected to a third party audit prior to any orders being placed. Finally they are re-audited annually to the ETI Base Code.pro
