boohoo group's code of conduct

• Employment is freely chosen: there must be no forced, bonded or involuntary prison labour. Workers should be free to leave their employer after a reasonable notice period.

• Child labour shall not be used and suppliers must have policies in place that guard against slavery and human trafficking.

• No harsh or inhumane treatment is allowed: physical abuse or discipline, the threat of physical abuse, sexual or other harassment, verbal abuse, or other forms of intimidation shall be prohibited.

• Suppliers must comply fully with the laws and regulations of the countries in which they operate.

• Wages and benefits for a standard working week must meet at least the relevant minimum wage standard.

• Work place discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, religion, age, disability, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, union membership or political affiliation is prohibited.

• Regular employment must be provided: work performed must be on the basis of a recognised employment relationship established through national law and practice.

• Working conditions must be safe and hygienic. Adequate steps shall be taken to prevent accidents and injury occurring in the course of work. Workers shall receive regular and recorded health and safety training, and such training shall be repeated for new or reassigned workers.

• Working hours must comply with national laws and benchmark industry standards, whichever affords greater protection.

• The supplier will conduct itself with proper business integrity: there shall be no improper advantage sought, including the payment of bribes, to secure delivery of goods or services to boohoo group.

• Suppliers must co-operate with boohoo group to ensure these standards are met.

We will continue to adapt and review to continually improve our ethical position, including improving standards with third party governance and oversight.
