Laura Ashley told us that its policy has not changed from 2006, but did send us some further ‘clarification’.  As in 2006, these responses suggest that - as with most companies that choose to go it alone rather than join a multistakeholder initiative - its engagement with workers’ rights issues is very underdeveloped.

Responded to survey: only after telephone follow-up

MSI involvement: no

Wages Grade 0: Does not accept the principle of a living wage

FoA Grade 1: Accepts the rights to FoA and CB in principle, but no examples of how enforced.

M&V Grade 0: Does not have an auditing system in line with accepted industry norms.
