DFI is dedicated to ethical sourcing and supply chain management. Our policy includes pre-qualification
assessments to ensure no forced labour, a categorisation system for risk-based supplier evaluation, and BSCI standards-based inspections. DFI emphasises continuous improvement, providing suppliers with performance benchmarks, technical support, and monitoring.Regular supplier briefings ensure understanding and compliance with DFI’s Supplier Code of Conduct.This comprehensive approach ensures ethical practices are upheld throughout our supply chains and operations, ensuring transparency and accountability within our business and with our partners. 

In 2024, we achieved 100% of DFI’s Own Brand production facilities located in high-risk countries being audited against amfori BSCI or equivalent ethical standards, an enhancement from 94% in 2023. This milestone met our target of ensuring all Own Brand supplying factories adhere to DFI’s ethical requirements by 2024. We will continue to ensure that new factories producing Own Brand products meet these requirements.
Our supply chain management is overseen by the Sustainability Committee and is the responsibility of DFI’s Technical team. To maintain high standards, DFI has implemented measures to set goals, monitor key
indicators, and share best practices with our teams and suppliers. It is critical for DFI’s team members to recognise social and environmental issues in the supply chain. To this end, DFI offers a range of social and sustainability-related training for team members engaged in supplier assessment activities. Regular assessment standard training is provided to continuously enhance the competencies of our team members in assessing suppliers.
