Topsleeve is committed to responsible sourcing and fair treatment throughout its operations and supply chain. This summary states the minimum standards expected from employees, suppliers, contractors and business partners involved in sourcing, processing, manufacture, assembly, packing or distribution.

Our Standards

Freely chosen employment. Forced, bonded, trafficked, compulsory or involuntary prison labour is prohibited. Workers must not pay recruitment fees or have identity documents withheld.

No child labour. Suppliers must verify age and meet applicable minimum-age and young-worker protections.

Fair pay and working hours. Pay, benefits, working hours, rest periods and overtime must meet applicable law and be recorded accurately.

Safe and healthy work. Workplaces must identify risks, maintain safe equipment, provide suitable training and protective equipment, and investigate incidents.

Equality and dignity. Discrimination, harassment, intimidation, violence and degrading treatment are not tolerated.

Worker voice. Workers may raise concerns without retaliation and may exercise lawful rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining.

Honest business conduct. Bribery, corruption, falsified records and undisclosed conflicts of interest are prohibited.

Environment and Responsible Sourcing

We expect compliance with applicable environmental and product rules, including UK REACH and EU REACH where relevant. Suppliers must manage chemicals, energy, water, emissions and waste responsibly; prevent pollution; and support traceability and the responsible sourcing of natural materials.

Supplier Assurance

Supply chain partners must communicate these standards to relevant workers and approved subcontractors, keep reliable employment, safety and sourcing records, and cooperate with proportionate due diligence, site access and audits. Concerns must be reported promptly. Where a breach is identified, Topsleeve may require a time-bound corrective action plan, verify completion and suspend or end the relationship for serious or repeated non-compliance.

Speak Up

Ethical, labour, safety or environmental concerns may be reported confidentially to info@topsleeve.com. Reports will be considered fairly and in good faith. Retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern is prohibited.

This public summary is supported by Topsleeve's internal procedures and supplier due diligence. It is reviewed annually and sooner if legal, operational or supply chain requirements change.
