Why corporate responsibility is important to us, our approach to it and our reporting principles, criteria and methodology
The challenge of trading ethically and acting responsibly towards the workers within our suppliers’ factories is a key priority for NEXT.
Our aim is to meet our customers’ expectations by providing exciting, beautifully designed, excellent quality clothing, footwear, accessories and homeware.
It is important we are able to create an environment that enables us to attract, inspire and retain the right people to work at every level throughout NEXT.
NEXT recognises it has a responsibility and an obligation to work to reduce the direct impact of its business operations on the natural environment, both now and in the future.
We offer support to a wide range of charities and organisations of all sizes, by working with them to provide donations that are of most benefit to them.
Any instance of forced labour is unacceptable. Respect for human rights is inherent in how NEXT operates as a responsible business.
NEXT is on a journey towards full compliance with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) reporting requirements for the Apparel, Accessories and Footwear industry
Our Responsible Sourcing Strategy sets out our ambition to source 100% of the main raw materials we use through known, responsible or certified routes by 2025
Our in-house Code of Practice team works directly with our suppliers to build strong relationships and ensure compliance with our standards on workers’ human rights, safety and working conditions.
