BEHIND OUR BRAND
2002 WAS A YEAR THAT MARKED A SIGNIFICANT
CHANGE IN THE WAY WE WORK WITH OUR SUPPLIERS.
THIS REPORT EXPLAINS HOW WE ARE BEGINNING
TO CREATE DEEPER BUSINESS PARTNERSHIPS WITH
THEM, AND WHY WE BELIEVE THIS STRATEGY WILL
LEAD TO IMPROVED LABOUR AND ENVIRONMENTAL
STANDARDS THROUGHOUT OUR SUPPLY CHAIN.
THE NEXT FEW PAGES PROVIDE AN INTRODUCTION TO
SOME OF THE MAIN SUSTAINABILITY ISSUES WE FACE.
TOGETHER WITH OUR MAIN REPORT, BEGINNING ON
PAGE 12, IT SHOWS HOW WE ATTEMPT TO GO BEHIND
THE PUBLIC FACE OF SPORT IN ORDER TO ADDRESS
OUR GLOBAL RESPONSIBILITIES.
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE
ISSUES WE FACE
ANY COMPANY THAT WANTS TO MANAGE
ITS IMPACTS ON PEOPLE, SOCIETY AND
THE ENVIRONMENT NEEDS TO START
BY UNDERSTANDING THE NATURE OF
ITS BUSINESS. WE UNDERSTAND THAT
SOME OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES WE FACE,
AND THE ONES THAT PEOPLE ARE MOST
CONCERNED ABOUT, ARE ISSUES RELATED
TO WORKING CONDITIONS IN THE
FACTORIES THAT MAKE OUR PRODUCTS.
BECAUSE WE DON’T HAVE DIRECT CONTROL
OVER THESE FACTORIES, IT’S HARDER
TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR CONDITIONS
AND EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS ARE
DECENT. THAT DOESN’T MEAN WE DON’T
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HOW FACTORY
WORKERS ARE TREATED. OUR GOAL IS TO
FIND THE MOST ACCEPTABLE SOURCES
OF SUPPLY THAT MEET ALL OUR CRITERIA,
NOT SIMPLY THE CHEAPEST.
