Mapped tier 1 and 2 sites

We have mapped the majority of our tier 1 and 2 sites. Over the coming year we will focus on gaining a better understanding of our sample centres and lower tiers.

Required supplier code of conduct

We require all material product, materials and service suppliers, and all distributors and franchisees as part of their FitFlop contract, to sign our Code of Conduct, which is based on national legislation, the Ethical Trading Initiative Base Code (ETI), International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conventions and industry standards.

Carried out third-party audits

We work with specialist external auditors to carry out independent, third-party audits every two years in the factories we use in all Tier 1 and all Tier 2 manufacturing locations. We employ a global specialist auditing firm to evaluate our partners using the SMETA (SEDEX Members Ethical Trade Audit) methodology.

Used corrective action plans

We analyse the outcome of audits and decide what action, if any, needs to be taken, including providing advice to suppliers through our third-party auditors and our internal CSR team; requiring, where necessary, the factory to implement corrective action plans. Should suppliers fail to take appropriate action on any corrective measures or where they seriously violate our Code of Conduct, we would consider invoking sanctions against them or terminating the business relationship.

Checked worker eligibility

As part of our recruitment process we undertake checks on all workers to verify their identity, age and eligibility to work in that country. We always aim to pay our workers a reasonable and fair wage for the job they are doing, and this will be at or above the legal minimum wage in the country they are employed.

Trained employees on policies

We train our new employees during their induction on how to access these policies through our internal folders.

Reviewed ESG legislation annually

We are currently working on implementing a thorough review of relevant global ESG legislation at least annually, starting June 2025. This proactive approach aims to keep us informed about existing and upcoming laws and ensure our systems are robust enough to maintain compliance with human rights and modern slavery legislation.
