STRUCTURE & MANAGEMENT

Reiss has implemented a governance framework along with associated policies and processes to embed ESG across its business operations.

Our commitments are to:

- Provide a robust structure to ensure accountability and oversight of the ESG strategy.

- Incorporate ESG risks and opportunities in annual risk assessment processes.

STRUCTURE

The ESG Steering Group has oversight of ESG related matters. The group is made up of the CEO and senior executives, and reports to the Reiss Board of Directors. Reiss ESG Steering Group is responsible for oversight and leadership of our ESG strategy, which is implemented by department leads and the Reiss CSR department.

ESG RISK ASSESSMENT

We have assessed our ESG Risks using the Landmark Risk Horizons tool, which is based on the Sustainable Accounting Standards Board Methodology. Risk Horizons uses industry sector and countries of operation, providing a high-level risk profile which we use as a basis for developing our ESG programmes and targets and which informs our due diligence approach.

Using this methodology, our top five salient combined risks in order of priority have been identified as (1) Labour Practices (2) Materials Sourcing (3) Supply Chain Management (4) Child Labour (5) Product Quality and Safety. Our top 5 geographical regions, when mapped against volume of Reiss orders, are (1) China (2) Turkey (3) India (4) Vietnam (5) Bangladesh.

STAKEHOLDERS

As we develop our ESG Roadmap, Reiss is identifying and engaging both formally and informally with internal and external stakeholders. Our stakeholders provide insights and perspectives which contribute to the identification and mitigation of ESG risks, as well as valuable support and challenge.
