How we work together

Currently, over 170,000 people are employed by our global suppliers to make
our collections, with 40% based in Europe and 60% in Asia. Though we don’t
own these organisations, it is our responsibility to make sure that everyone we
work with treats their employees fairly and follows environmentally friendly
business practices.

To ensure this, we work directly with factory owners, local governments, trade
unions and non-government organisations, as well as garment makers
themselves. Before we work with any external suppliers, they must sign a strict
Sustainability Commitment and our code of ethics. Find out more below.
