We have set clear goals for FY26, including mandatory modern slavery training, a focus on deepening supply chain transparency, and a commitment to developing internal policies where risks have been identified within our supply chain.

Reported risks and mitigations

• Risk: State-imposed forced labour risks linked to cotton cultivation and production in China
• Area: Within your supply chains
• Tier: Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
• Group: Women Migrants Children Other vulnerable groups
• Location: China
• Mitigation: We continued to maintain a detailed map of our supply base and workforce in China. In FY26 we will continue to build on our enhanced due diligence, with a strong focus on deepening supply chain transparency. Through our new partnership with TextileGenesis™, we will trace our cotton supply chain using its Fibre-to-Retail module and innovative Fibercoin technology, enabling secure and verified traceability of certified materials.
• Risk: Gender-based violence and harassment
• Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
• Group: Women Migrants Refugees Children Other vulnerable groups
• Location: Bangladesh China Czechia Denmark Estonia Spain United Kingdom Indonesia India Italy Lithuania Nepal Poland Portugal Sweden Slovakia Thailand Tunisia Turkey Vietnam
• Mitigation: We expanded our collection of gender-disaggregated data to better understand risks faced by women in our supply chains. While women represent 48% of the workforce, they remain underrepresented in leadership, holding 38% of management and 41% of supervisory roles. In 2026, we will develop a zero-tolerance policy for Gender-Based Violence and Harassment (GBVH). We will also partner with an expert women’s organisation to ensure the strongest possible support for women who may be at risk.
• Risk: Freedom of association in China, Türkiye & India
• Group: Women Migrants Other vulnerable groups
• Location: China India Turkey
• Mitigation: We strengthened HRDD by applying a targeted freedom-of-association lens. In FY25, we continued mapping worker committees, participated in the ETI Freedom of Association working group, and improved our understanding of grievance mechanisms. In FY26, we aim to promote freedom of association by evolving internal policies, expanding mapping activities, and engaging with supplier partners.
