Social Responsibility

Arcadia Group takes its social responsibilities extremely seriously. We were one of the first high street fashion retailers to establish a Code of Conduct that all suppliers working with our businesses must adhere to. The Code was reviewed and updated in early 2007 and the latest version communicated to suppliers and other relevant groups. Also in 2007 the Group launched Fashion Footprint - a major new initiative to ensure all our ethical and environmental activities are managed, monitored and coordinated across all our businesses. Fashion Footprint brings together ten key areas of activity under working parties established to draw up and deliver policies in key areas of activity; from energy efficiency to supplier ethics, and from transport to charitable giving. We are also committed to ensuring that we meet our responsibilities under the Disability Discrimination Act and work hard to make our goods and services accessible to all.
