As a responsible buyer, Benetton Group bore the cost of the structural audits carried out to verify the building conditions of our suppliers in the affected region.

Furthermore, Benetton Group periodically evaluates the social compliance of its suppliers, with a specific concern to the respect of human rights. As a member of Sustainable Apparel Coalition, we rely on the Higg Facility Social and Labor Module (FSLM), as a tool for measuring the social performance of our suppliers...

According to the last reports available (verified by a third party), to the extent of our knowledge, no cases related to abuses, unfair payments or discrimination cases have been detected. We will continue the monitoring process of our supply chain with specific attention on investigating the allegations reported and we will enforce the dialogue with other industry players to ensure the respect of human rights.
