In addition, for major suppliers and those coming from those countries considered to be at risk in terms of respecting
and safeguarding human rights, an evaluation of social accountability aspects is carried out. In particular, during 2021
suppliers considered to be at greater risk in terms of product type and geographical area of origin were asked to sign
a specific declaration with regard to the fight against forced labour.
For suppliers there are regular monitoring and evaluation procedures.

The subsidiaries, even though they represent limited volumes of purchases, require their main suppliers to confirm,
in writing, their acceptance of the Suppliers’ Code. In Creomoda and La Maison des Accessoires suppliers also fill in
the SA8000 self-assessment questionnaire.
