Supply chain due diligence
With the Supply Chain Due Diligence Report 2023-24, BESTSELLER aims to provide stakeholders, including industry partners, NGOs, and regulatory bodies even more detailed insights into its due diligence approach and efforts in reducing the environmental and social impact of the factories where our products are made.


Key highlights in the report include:
- Human Rights & Environmental Risks: The report provides a clear overview of the policies and frameworks the company uses to identify and manage risks throughout its supply chain.
- Supplier Engagement: The company details its approach to assessing suppliers, their factories, and its processes for developing corrective actions where necessary.
- Collaborative Efforts: BESTSELLER’s engagement with key stakeholders such as unions and industry organisations like the International Accord are explained, demonstrating the company’s proactive role in improving industry practices.
Increasing transparency
BESTSELLER's Supply Chain Due Diligence Report is designed to align with the OECD’s Due Diligence Guidance for reporting, as well as the Ethical Trading Initiative's Corporate Transparency Framework, amongst other industry benchmarking standards.
The launch of the Supply Chain Due Diligence Report 2023-24 represents another step the company has taken towards increasing transparency in its supply chain operations, following the commitments to publishing its tier 0, 1 and 2 public factory lists every two months, and publishing regular reports for regions of heightened human rights risks.
