2THE FAST RETAILING BUSINESS AND SUPPLY CHAIN
Fast Retailing supply chains: Production
Fast Retailing engages with all levels of its supply chain, which can either include an individual
manufacturing entity such as a garment factory, a fabric mill and the raw material supplier, or a
combination of those entities (in each case, a ‘Production Partner’).
As of 31st August 2023, we worked with 519 Tier 1 Production Partners who manufactured our products(including both garment and processing factories with direct and indirect business relationships), and
157 Tier 2 core fabric mill partners.
We started publishing a list of Production Partners on our website to increase transparency in 2017. In
March 2022, we expanded that list to include all garment factories and core fabric mills we expect tocontinue to do business with, and any subcontractors. The list is updated every six months.

Fast Retailing operations: Goods and services
Fast Retailing procures a range of other goods and services from international suppliers (not engaged in
manufacturing). This includes information and communication technology services and products,
marketing and media services, various professional services (including facilities and property
management, financial, insurance and legal), and transport, storage, construction and security.

Fast Retailing operations: Retail sale of our products
Our store operation staff are primarily engaged in retail sales or administrative tasks. Store operations
are governed by our group policies and procedures as well as local legislations of countries we operatein.

ACTIONS TAKEN BY FAST RETAILING TO ASSESS AND ADDRESS RISKS OF
MODERN SLAVERY AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SUCH ACTIONSOUR POLICIES AND COMMITMENTS
To safeguard human rights and protect against modern slavery risks in the supply chain, Fast Retailinghas taken a range of initiatives, including establishing policies and processes that are outlined in thisstatement. Fast Retailing is committed to ensuring good working environments are maintained
throughout the entire supply chain, down to raw materials level, in accordance with internationalguidelines.
We have zero-tolerance standards in place for issues that seriously violate human rights, including
modern slavery. Matters resulting from inadequate management of working conditions are also
categorised as serious issues.
Zero-tolerance issues:o Child labour, forced labour, coercion and harassment, discrimination, lack of building safety,
serious violation of freedom of association, prevention of union formation, illegal or
unjustified dismissal of workers on strike, retaliation against employees who raised
grievances, non-payment of wages, non-payment of minimum wages, lack of emergency
preparedness (especially fire safety), transparency issues such as false reports, bribery,3

wrong reporting of the audit scope of production areas, unauthorised subcontracting anduse of homeworkers.
Major serious issues:o Insufficient payment for overtime, no legal leave provided, non-payment during work
stoppage, non-payment of social insurance premiums, long working hours, no legal breaks
provided, no employment contracts or incomplete contracts with employees.
When any such violations are found, factories are required to remedy the matter immediately. If azero-tolerance issue is found, or a serious issue is found again after a previous assessment, thematter is escalated to the Business Ethics Committee (detailed in the ‘Governance’ section), which
determines whether to terminate or modify the business relationship. This occurs in parallel withmeasures being discussed with the factory and close monitoring until improvement is completed.

Human Rights Policy
Fast Retailing has a Human Rights Policy that is in accordance with international standards, including theUnited Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP), and the International Labour
Organization's (ILO) Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. The policy specifies our
minimum required standards to respect and safeguard human rights including with regards to forced
labour and child labour. This policy applies to all employees of Fast Retailing, and all workers in Fast
Retailing’s supply chain.

Responsible Purchasing Policy
We recognise that our purchasing practices have an impact on production partners’ ability to meet bothbusiness and order requirements, alongside expectations on social and human rights. We established
the Fast Retailing Responsible Purchasing Policy, and it stipulates matters that must be taken into
consideration when production departments or other purchasing-related departments place orders toany production partners. Appropriate purchasing procedures are outlined to include the following
examples:oooWhen placing an order, it is important to develop a purchase order plan based on the production
equipment and capacity of the factory. Quantity and delivery dates are required to be clearlyagreed in advance, with no changes to be made without the consent of the production partner.
There must be no abuse of the dominant bargaining position in negotiations on prices andpayment terms.
When terminating a business relationship with a production partner, it is required to set anappropriate exit time considering the financial impact and employment situation at the factory,
and to monitor and confirm there are no potential worker or human rights violations that mightoccur as a result of the termination.

Business Partner Operational Guidelines
In order to build fair and mutually beneficial relations with all of our business partners, we havecompiled principles in ten key areas under Fast Retailing's Business Partner Operational Guidelines, and
we endeavour to enter into contracts with partners who adhere to these Guidelines.

4

Code of Conduct for Employees
Fast Retailing Code of Conduct for Employees is a written collection of basic rules that all company
employees should observe and serves as a set of behavioural standards that align with the Human
Rights Policy. Employees who fail to comply with the Code of Conduct may be subject to disciplinary
action.

Code of Conduct for Production Partners
A key initiative to address modern slavery in our supply chains is Fast Retailing’s Code of Conduct for
Production Partners (CoC). The code is based on the core labour standards of the ILO and sets minimum
standards including for legal compliance, child and forced labour, health and safety and working
conditions. Our Tier 1 garment / sewing factories and Tier 2 core fabric mills are required to comply withand sign the CoC. In FY2023, Fast Retailing also extended the CoC coverage to strategic Tier 3 spinningmills. Our production partner signatories are required to cascade our standards upstream to any of
their own partners involved in the process within our supply chain.

AAFA/FLA Commitment to Responsible Recruitment for Production Partners
Fast Retailing is a signatory to the AAFA/FLA Commitment to Responsible Recruitment and utilises theintelligence, collaboration, resources, and tools from the two organisations in our risk assessments, andour work to eliminate forced labour and human trafficking in our supply chains.

Standards and Guidelines on Responsible Recruitment of Foreign Migrant Workers for
Production Partners
Fast Retailing has revised our Standards and Guidelines on Responsible Recruitment of Foreign MigrantWorkers for Production Partners (‘Standards and Guidelines’) in FY2023, with expert review from theIOM.
The Standards and Guidelines contain Fast Retailing’s requirements and expectations of our production
partners to respect human and labour rights of foreign migrant workers during recruitment,
employment, and upon their return. The minimum mandatory standards our production partners shallcommit to include:●●●●

No workers’ pay for their job.
Workers receive a timely refund of fees and costs paid to obtain or maintain their job.
Workers retain control of their identity, travel or any other documents, and have full freedom of
movement.
All workers are informed, in a language they understand, of the basic terms of their employment
before leaving their country of origin.

All production partners who hire foreign migrant workers, including Tier 1 garment and processing
factories, Tier 2 core fabric mills are covered in the Standards and Guidelines.

HUMAN RIGHTS DUE DILIGENCE
Due diligence in supply chains5We value our relationships with our production partners and share a common philosophy: to
manufacture high-quality products through correct processes.
Fast Retailing recognises salient human rights risks that continue to exist in our supply chains. We
conduct regular monitoring and human rights risk assessments across our key production countries. Ourhuman rights due diligence is based on the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chainsin the Garment and Footwear Sector.
Our Supply Chain Sustainability team is based in all key sourcing regions, and is responsible for
conducting or overseeing verification of CoC compliance of our production partners. They also support
and advise on remediation activities, and implement global capacity building programs. The visibility andknowledge of the team directly shape our overall understanding of potential and actual risks in our
supply chains.

Country and sector risk mapping
We conduct an annual mapping of salient country and sector risks. We define the concept of salience asrisk to the most vulnerable people, not to the business, in line with UN Guiding Principles on Businessand Human Rights (UNGP). We review information provided in social compliance audits, academic
studies, reports from civil society, media reports, industry associations, and private consulting firms etc.,
to determine priorities and allocation of resources.
During FY2023, we identified the following priority risk areas across our supply chain:● Presence of vulnerable groups such as foreign migrant workers, women, young workers, andworkers of low socio-economic status etc., that are more prone to abuse and exploitation.
● Unethical recruitment practices.
● Health and safety violations in the workplace.
● Long working hours and overtime.
● Insufficient management of wages and benefits.
● Limited right to freedom of association.

Onboarding new production partners
All new potential Tier 1 production partners and their processing factories undergo our social
compliance audit, which covers topics related to modern slavery and forced labour risks. We only start
doing business with potential production partners after they successfully meet the requirements of our
CoC.

Monitoring existing production partners
All production partners in Tier 1 garment / sewing factories and Tier 2 core fabric mills (including
subcontractors), are regularly audited and monitored against our CoC. In FY2023, we also began auditing
and monitoring of our Tier 3 strategic spinning mills.
Our production partners are audited (either announced or unannounced) every 12 months at aminimum. When production partners are regarded as low risk, based on past audit and assessment
records, cases received from the FR hotline and how these grievance cases were resolved, and our own

6team’s transparency checks, they may receive audits every 24 months instead. Some selected
production partners will be assessed by the FLA as a part of the accreditation process.
All audits and assessments are completed on-site, and include a facility tour and visual inspections,documentation reviews, and interviews with management and workers. If the production partner
provides accommodation to workers, an inspection of dormitories will also be conducted.
In cases where we suspect production partners or workers are not transparent during the assessment
process, we may conduct off-site interviews or follow up with additional unannounced visits fortransparency checks.
In FY2023, a total of 616 audits were carried out. The FLA assessed 4 of our Tier 1 production partners.

Ongoing risk assessments
In addition to our audits, we monitor and assess risks in our supply chains through other activities.
Human rights risk assessments: In FY2023, we piloted human rights risk assessments, which focuses ongender and migrant worker risks, in India. Production partners were assessed against the ILO indicatorsof Forced Labour, and where they hire interstate migrant workers, special considerations are given tounderstand the recruitment channels, process, and communication between migrant workers and otherlocal co-workers and management.
Foreign migrant worker assessments: Since 2022, we set up an internal working group on responsible
recruitment to drive better identification, prevention and remediation of forced labour and recruitment
risks, with a focus in specific sourcing locations, Japan, Malaysia, and Thailand. In FY2023, we assessed
15 of our production partners which hire foreign migrant workers.

Industry Initiatives
We understand that issues in the global apparel industry cannot be addressed by any single company,
and to this end, we are committed to forming partnerships and engaging in activities with a variety of
stakeholder groups. Through our memberships, we collaborate and engage with partners to identify,
prevent and remediate risks, including modern slavery and forced labour.
Social Labor Convergence Program (SLCP): Fast Retailing is a signatory to the SLCP initiative that enables
widespread sharing of one verified assessment as we believe the importance of reducing audit fatigue in
global supply chains. The SLCP process consists of a self assessment conducted by the production
partner itself, which is then verified by a third party authorised by SLCP. We accept SLCP verifications as
a substitute to our own audits. In FY2023, 203 SLCP assessments were performed in China, Bangladesh,
Vietnam, India, Turkey and other regions, following the SLCP methodology.
Better Work: We are a direct buyer partner of Better Work, a joint programme between theInternational Labor Organisation (ILO) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) of the World Bank
Group. Through Better Work, we conduct special-purpose assessments, provide training and guidance
for improvement among member factories. We also collaborate with other global brands who are partof Better Work, as well as governments, labour unions, and other stakeholders etc., to strengthen the7stability and competitiveness across the supply chain for the apparel and footwear industries, while
upholding the rights of factory workers and improving labour conditions.

Traceability
Fast Retailing pursues traceability across our supply chain. We are working to establish a system of endto-end management of our supply chain, which will enable greater visibility and control over workplace
factors throughout the entire supply chain.
In FY2023, we began implementing an end-to-end management system of our supply chain, whichenables us to apply quality, procurement, production, environment, and worker-rights standards acrossall stages of production from sewing stage back to raw material procurement. This includes specifying
raw materials and fabrics in the planning stage. We also traced all UNIQLO products back to the countryof origin of raw materials from the 2023 Spring/Summer season. As of August 2023, we identified
spinning process suppliers with potential to build trusted, long term relationships for UNIQLO cotton
products.

Due diligence in own operations
Fast Retailing understands goods and services suppliers present varying levels of modern slavery risks.
As the majority of our business partners are service providers, they are governed by a framework of
local legislations in countries of operation. Generally, before starting a commercial relationship, oursuppliers are required to comply with Fast Retailing's Business Partner Operational Guidelines. We willcontinue to develop and review our processes to assess suppliers to focus on high risk areas.

RISK PREVENTION AND REMEDIATION
Corrective actions and continuous improvement
If and when human rights violations are identified, our production partners are required to develop
corrective action plans (CAPs) and to remedy the issues promptly and effectively. We understand that it
is not sufficient to solely focus on closing the issues on a CAP, but it is more important to dive into theroot causes of why a certain risk appears, with the intention to address it sustainably. We have a
dedicated Supply Chain Sustainability team and members of the team review CAPs and engage with our
production partners on steps for continuous improvement and effective solutions and verify progress
and implementation through document review or onsite assessments.
During FY2023 we focused on two areas specifically on mitigating risks of forced labour in our supply
chains:Foreign migrant workers in Malaysia, Thailand and Japan
Some production partners (at Tier 1 and Tier 2) in Malaysia, Thailand and Japan hire foreign migrant
workers from a diverse number of countries, including Bangladesh, Nepal, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Indonesia,
China, and Philippines. We identified unethical recruitment, hiring and employment practices includinglack of repayment of recruitment fees (e.g., passport renewal fees, travel costs), and workers not fully
understanding the terms and conditions of their contracts before they departed their home countries.
Fast Retailing agreed on improvement plans and repayment plans with production partners andmonitored progress until all necessary remedial actions were completed.

Vulnerable interstate female migrants in India
Across our supply chain in India, we selected production partners across different tiers to pilot humanrights risk assessments, with a gender and migrant worker focus. We identified risks related to coercion
and harassment, discrimination, restriction of movement, excessive working hours, lack of access toremedy. We are working closely with the respective production partners to remediate the issues andprevent reoccurrence in the future.

Grievance Mechanisms
We are committed to strengthening our grievance mechanisms. In the first instance we require ourgarment / sewing production partners and fabric mills to establish their own grievance mechanisms thatmeet the UNGP criteria, including written policies and procedures.
Employees in our own operations and supply chains and our customers can raise concerns using the Fast
Retailing hotline channels. The hotline channel is available for employees in our own operations,customers and local communities and workers at our Tier 1 (garment/ sewing) and Tier 2 core fabric millproduction facilities are available to use.
The Fast Retailing hotline at production partner facilities is available in local languages in the countries
we operate in and our production partners are required to post the Fast Retailing hotline poster publicly
visible. Our auditors may also provide workers with hotline cards during audits to allow workers to makecontact with Fast Retailing directly without fear of reprisal.
Dedicated members of departments such as the sustainability department and human resources
reassess and investigate the grievances raised. If the grievance is substantiated, the case will be
expedited and our dedicated department teams will work with the involved parties on remedy andpreventive measures. The Human Rights Committee (detailed in the ‘Governance’ section) oversees andreviews any serious cases. Any risk areas and emerging trends are analysed on an annual basis, andlearnings and insights will be incorporated into our overall risk analysis.
More information about Fast Retailing’s grievance mechanisms can be found here.

Training and Capacity Building
We build knowledge and capacity of our production partners through regular training on human rights
and our policies. Each year, we train all new Tier 1 (garment / sewing) and Tier 2 core fabric millproduction partners on our human rights due diligence process, our CoC expectations, our audit
management platform, and commitment to continuous improvement and remediation. We also
provided existing production partners with training on any updates related to our due diligenceapproach, audit methodology, CoC expectations etc. During FY2023, a total of 466 Tier 1 garment
factories across 22 different countries were trained.
Internally, members of the cross-country responsible recruitment working group attend webinars andindustry conferences related to forced labour and recruitment risks to ensure we are fully updated onlatest trends, knowledge and best practice. The team delivered thematic training to address specificrisks, including modern slavery, forced labour and responsible recruitment risks, to production partners
and their labour recruiters who hire foreign migrant workers. In FY2023, together with IOM, we

9provided basic training of responsible recruitment to recruitment agencies in Sri Lanka and Nepal,
countries where many foreign migrant workers come from.
In FY2023, Fast Retailing also piloted a series of in-person and online training for internal teams in the
UK, EU, US, Canada and Japan, including marketing, PR, legal, store operations, sustainability, logistics,
management functions etc., to raise awareness on business and human rights risks in the supply chain.
Across all regions, over 360 colleagues attended the sessions.

Responsible purchasing practices
Apart from our Responsible Purchasing Policy, in FY2023 we participated in two new industry initiatives
related to responsible purchasing practice. We piloted the Better Buying Partnership Index and Better
Buying Purchasing Practices Index, which we have gained invaluable insights and feedback from our
production partners anonymously. We also joined the Responsible Purchasing Practices Learning and
Implementation Community (RPP LIC), which is a two-year multi stakeholder initiative supporting
companies in improving purchasing practices, and aims to strengthen the Common Framework for
Responsible Purchasing Practices and encourage positive change in the industry. A key focus area for the
next fiscal year is to align our purchasing practices with the Common Framework, identify areas ofopportunity within the purchasing cycle and drive internal changes and implementation.

GOVERNANCE
Human Rights Committee
Chaired by an external professional, the Human Rights Committee (HRC) assesses and advises on theexecution of human rights due diligence and is responsible for ensuring human rights are upheld
according to the 2018 Fast Retailing Group Human Rights Policy. As part of its counselling andsupervisory responsibilities, the HRC provides various educational activities, advises businessadministration functions to ensure all business is conducted appropriately, and investigates humanrights violations and implements remedial measures.
In FY2023, the following actions were taken and deliberated by the HRC:●●●

Reviewed the current working conditions and recruitment risks of technical intern trainees hiredin Japan, and Fast Retailing’s response to the identified issues.
Evaluated the results from third-party audits and assessments conducted at the spinner level,
and the implementation of countermeasures.
Advised on the framework to conduct human rights due diligence for our logistics partners.

Business Ethics Committee
When zero-tolerance issues, including forced labour or child labour are found, or a serious issue isidentified as a case of repeated non-compliance, or a production partner lacks the commitment toimplement changes and remediation, the matter is escalated to the Business Ethics Committee (BEC).
The committee discusses the issue to determine the share of responsibility, the need to review or
modify the business relationship with production partners, which may include immediate cancellation of10

orders and/or termination of business. The BEC is chaired by the Head of Sustainability Department,alongside external statutory auditors, executive officers, and other committee members including
external Audit and Supervisory Board members. The BEC provides advice and counsel to departments
based on external field inspections and partner company surveys and also ensures that Fast Retailingdoes not use an advantageous position to exert undue pressure on business counterparts such as
production partners and suppliers.

Assessing EffectivenessWith the support and oversight from the HRC and BEC, we continue to evaluate the effectiveness of ouroverall human rights due diligence approach, particularly on how we identify, prevent and remediate
modern slavery and forced labour risks. Our steps toward continuous improvement are also outlined inthe ‘Risk Prevention and Remediation’ section.
For general information about our FY2023 workplace monitoring results and changes, please go to
Workplace Monitoring Results on our website.

LOOKING FORWARD
During fiscal year 2023-2024 (FY2024), we will continue our efforts to identify, prevent and remediate
any modern slavery, forced labour and child labour risks in our supply chains. In addition, we intend to
focus on:
●

●

●
●
●

Expanding human rights due diligence activities within the supply chain and own operations, toinclude more fabric mills, spinners, trims and accessories production partners, and warehouseassessments.
Strengthening the knowledge of production partners which hire foreign migrant workers,
especially on understanding agency due diligence, and the potential risks foreign migrant
workers face in their home countries.
Supporting our production partners in India who undertook the human rights risk assessments
to remediate the issues and improve working conditions for vulnerable workers.
Enhancing traceability to cover more products and Group brands.
Aligning our purchasing practices with the Common Framework for Responsible Purchasing
Practices, and to identify areas of opportunity within the purchasing cycle and drive changes.
