At Comic Relief, we want to develop long-term, sustainable relationships with those merchandise partners who develop our Comic Relief branded products and who support our overall aims as a charity. A key indicator of this would be that they too are committed to ethical trade, have their own responsible sourcing polices in place and are striving to maintain high social, ethical and environmental standards both in their own operations and throughout their own supply chains.
We will ask all our contracted merchandise partners who develop our Comic Relief branded products to provide evidence of their commitment to responsible sourcing and to demonstrate their compliance.
We will work with our merchandise partners who develop our Comic Relief branded products to continually improve our approach to ethical sourcing and help to raise social and environmental standards in the manufacture and distribution of products used in our campaigns.
