Our sustainability strategy is a shared vision: wherever we operate in the world, we work towards the same goals, with a shared set of values and principles that govern our actions, so our people know what is expected of them. Supported by our Board of Directors and Senior Management Team, these principles are clearly communicated throughout our business, policies and demonstrated in our practices.
We expect all employees to behave ethically and comply with our Samsonite Code of Conduct. This sets out our values and commitment to ethical standards and legal compliance.
We have a duty to respect the human rights of the people who work for us, and of the workers in our supply chain across the world. We do not tolerate illegal working conditions and human rights violations like child, forced or trafficked labor.
We provide the opportunity for everyone who works for us to report suspected breaches of the Code of Conduct via a toll-free hotline. Reporters can remain anonymous and we seek to maintain confidentiality to the extent possible. This hotline is available to third parties, such as customers and suppliers.
The Samsonite Group Ethical Charter is our supplier code of conduct which sets out our view of acceptable business practices. All finished goods and raw material and component suppliers that we contract with must comply with its minimum standards, and we conduct regular audits to ensure they do.
In 2025, 378 audits were performed, including Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP) certifications. All three of the Samsonite Group-owned manufacturing sites are now WRAP certified.
If a zero-tolerance violation, such as prison, child or forced labor, is uncovered through an audit, immediate action is taken. Factories must remediate all violations before existing production is resumed. Suppliers can request a Social Compliance re-audit sixty days from the date of the first incident. If a second incident is detected, factories will be barred from supplying to Samsonite.
More information about our approach to governance and risk management can be found in our 2025 Annual Report, including in the Corporate Governance Report.
We have published an Environmental, Social and Governance Report since 2016 and continue to share our progress on an annual basis.
