All H&M’s first-tier suppliers sign H&M’s Sustainability Commitment before producing for H&M and H&M monitor their compliance with it. They aim for our suppliers to increasingly take ownership for ensuring good working conditions and environmental performance. Since the launch of our Sustainability Commitment they work even more with promoting ownership amongst their suppliers, encouraging them to take responsibility of their own sustainability work.They support them in a number of ways, including the provision of training and capacity building. They also help them to develop and improve management systems that will avoid non-compliance on an ongoing basis. Their primary focus is on their strategic suppliers, which are our best suppliers in terms of sustainability.
