SUMMARY
Burberry Group plc (Burberry), the third-largest luxury brand in the UK,3 ranks 30th out of 65 companies. Since 2021, the company strengthened its existing policy on recruitment fees to require that all recruitment fees be repaid to workers (as opposed to excessive fees only). However, the company did not improve across other themes and does not seem to have taken other steps to strengthen its performance and disclosure on forced labour issues within its supply chains. The company performed particularly poorly on the themes of Traceability & Risk Assessment, and Remedy. As such, the company’s rank has dropped by 19 places.4 The company’s score is based on its stronger performance on the theme of Commitment & Governance, and the disclosure of its payment terms for suppliers. However, the company scores lower than average across all other themes. The company is encouraged to improve its performance and disclosure on the themes of Traceability & Risk Assessment, Recruitment, and Remedy.
