We strongly value our vendor relationships, which are built on a foundation of honesty and trust.
Our Vendor Code of Conduct outlines our expectations on issues including working hours, safety in the workplace and wages and conditions. We audit vendors and provide education so that they understand our expectations and can develop processes to meet and exceed them.
By signing our Vendor Code of Conduct, our vendors commit to
We work hard to ensure that products we buy are in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. If we find a product in our store that doesn't meet these, we ensure the item is immediately removed.
We've had a no fur policy since 2003 and we do not knowingly sell items that contain real fur of any type. In addition, we do not knowingly source products containing angora.
With brands that manufacture feather and down bedding products, we remain committed to pursuing a policy of no live plucking or force feeding and to seeking accredited third party certifications including or equivalent to the RDS, TDS or Downpass.
We are signatories to the British Retail Consortium's Childrenswear Guidelines, which state that we will not sell clothes that are not appropriate for children to wear.
We are careful that the products we sell meet standards of decency, never knowingly selling products that contain offensive language or imagery.
Working with over 4,000 local people in the remote Rwenzori region of Western Uganda, our Sustainable Trade Programme was developed in 2011.
The aim of the programme is to help parents ensure their children complete primary education. We do this by helping them increase their income from the production and sale of coffee, cocoa, cotton and crafts. We're proud to sell some of these products in store and online as part of our Made to do Good range.
