Response by Burberry

...The welfare of workers is a priority for Burberry. Burberry is committed to promoting fair and sustainable employment practices throughout its business and supply chain. We believe that all employees and workers in our supply chain should be treated fairly and in accordance with our Responsible Business Principles and Ethical Trading Code of Conduct. We have a comprehensive monitoring process in place designed to ensure our standards are upheld...

One area covered by the Responsible Business Principles is the right to be paid a living wage. Burberry is committed to the promotion and adoption of a living wage in our own operations and supply chain and is proud to become the first luxury retailer and manufacturer to achieve accreditation as a UK Living Wage employer. In 2016, Burberry joined the steering group of the Global Living Wage Initiative to address in-work poverty across all sectors and multiple geographies, as part of a unified, global approach with multi stakeholder participation. 

We have one supplier in Serbia and we are working with them to ensure our standards are upheld. Burberry does not source from the Ukraine, Hungary or Georgia.
