Due Diligence Checks
The garment industry is linked to issues with poor working conditions, rates of pay and even more serious arrangements ie human trafficking. The primary purpose of due diligence checks is to protect human rights and the environment and to foster responsible business practices. Effective due diligence enables firms to anticipate and mitigate adverse impacts and, in some cases, to decide whether to proceed with or discontinue operations or business relationships that carry too high a risk of negative impacts. The due diligence carried out at Kingfisher Leisurewear Ltd on the supply chain is to verify if there are policies in place, procedures to protect staff and methods to ensure operations have a minimum effect on the environment.
