Ethical Policies
Debenhams has a number of policies which cover the ethical aspects of the products we sell and their constituent materials. These include:
- Animal testing: we do not sell any products or product ingredients that have been tested on animals.
- Leathers, hides and furs: all leather used is a by-product of the food industry and we support the humane treatment of animals throughout the supply chain. We do not allow the use of snake, crocodile, alligator or any endangered species or the use of real fur.
- Sustainable timber sources: only timber from sustainable sources is used and our suppliers must keep records so that this can be verified.
- Genetically modified organisms: all products must be GMO free.
- Diamonds: rough diamonds must be procured and certified in compliance with the Kimberley Process; finished diamonds must be purchased from legitimate sources not involved in funding conflict, in compliance with United Nations resolutions.
