Sustainable Supply Chains

The Fast Forward audit programme is just one stage of continuous improvement. Suppliers access pragmatic, good practice guidance, resources and training to support them to improve.

Audited suppliers receive graded performance measurement, enabling Brands to focus attention on the highest risk suppliers whilst recognising those with best practice policies and processes that go beyond compliance.

Recognition of suppliers enabling worker voice and access to credible grievance mechanisms is embedded throughout.

Reports are also shared between Fast Forward brands with common suppliers, who collaborate to jointly support remediation.
