they can make a real difference. Since 1994
they've helped to raise funds and global
awareness of domestic violence. Since

suppliers taking responsibility for the working
conditions of the people who make the products
they sell. It's about making sure that workers are
treated fairly, with dignity and respect.
Our passionate commitment to human rights has
always shaped how we trade with our suppliers
around the world. We build close relationships
with those suppliers and work together to ensure
ethical trading is at the heart of our, and
their, business. We believe this is the way
business should be done.
7. Poverty is a serious issue that is spreading
over certain regions. We hope that we have
raised awareness in you and that you may
help the more needy and less fortunate
people, starting with those around you.
8. Thank you for your attention!!
