Ethical Trading

“There is currently a lot of talk about unethical trading. Usdaw expects all retailers to abide by ethical trading standards and will not support any practice of making profits from the exploitation of children.

“Any company that finds its suppliers acting in this way should deal with them swiftly to rectify the situation and show that they will not stand for mistreatment of children in any part of the world.”
