Bringing amazing tech to our customers isn’t something we do alone. We collaborate with our manufacturers and suppliers to make sure the products we sell are safe and responsibly sourced.

We collaborate with our manufacturers and suppliers to make sure the products we sell are safe and responsibly sourced. In addition, we consider their overall sustainability performance, particularly their energy efficiency and climate change impact.

For customers to enjoy our amazing technology they need peace of mind that we’re sourcing responsibly. With over 6,500 suppliers globally, with the majority based in Europe and China, we want to use our size and unique capabilities to do good.

Beyond compliance with all relevant national and international legislation, we have our own Standards for Responsible Sourcing that set out our expectations for all suppliers, partners and subsequent supply chains. The Standards reflect our commitment to acting with integrity in business relationships and are underpinned by both our Child Labour Remediation & Young Worker Policy and Conflict Minerals Policy.

An Anti-Bribery, Gifts and Hospitality Policy is in place. The procedures in place to oversee the anti-corruption and bribery control environment is reviewed by the Audit Committee on at least an annual basis and most recently in December 2025. The full policy is reviewed by the Board periodically.

We’re committed to eradicating all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. The fact that modern slavery still exists today is abhorrent and eradication requires collaboration and transparency.

We continue to take action to tackle modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain and report progress annually in our Modern Slavery Statement. Our Anti-Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Policy clearly states the actions our colleagues, suppliers and partners must take if a case of modern slavery is discovered or suspected. We work with our suppliers to ensure they take appropriate steps and manage risks within their own supply chains.

We continue to expand our efforts to tackle the issue – collating existing actions and working on new initiatives across our business and supply chain to mitigate risk and identify areas that need additional focus.

At Currys we are proud of the progress we made in 2025/26. Our key achievements included:

  • Republished our internal Modern Slavery Escalation Process, alongside our new modern slavery response plan and updated guidance on how to conduct an interview with individuals who may be experiencing modern slavery
  • Collaborated with the Slave-Free Alliance, part of the international charity Hope for Justice, to review our recruitment providers in the UK & Ireland
  • Completed a gap analysis of our business’ due diligence, supply chain risks and effectiveness at identifying and addressing modern slavery. Twelve recommendations were made and will be addressed according to risk level
  • Reviewed and reissued our modern slavery ‘Spot the Signs’ training and completed by over 1,000 colleagues in distribution roles across the UK & Ireland and Nordics
  • Completed 65 ethical audits on own label and licensed brand suppliers this year, continuing to track reduced working hours with targets, corrective action plans and re-audits as necessary
  • Continuing to invite more suppliers to join the EcoVadis platform to enable us to measure their sustainability performance, with 65% of Group spend now assessed for sustainability and 64% for carbon maturity – each up 1% YoY
  • Engaged with own label suppliers on corrective actions from their EcoVadis assessments, helping to achieve an increase in the average score from 38 to 46 out of 100
  • Continue to expand our understanding of mineral risks in the tech industry, through our Responsible Business Alliance membership

In 2026/27 we will:
