Fendi is one of the Maisonsof the LVMH Group.
The LVMH Group attaches great importance to ensuring that its Maisons and their partners share a set of common rules, practices and principles with respect to ethics, social responsibility and protection of the environment.
Consequently, the LVMH Group expects its Maisons to establish and promote exemplary relations with all their partners (suppliers, distributors, subcontractors, etc.) anchored in responsibility, fairness and integrity.

III. POLICIES AND GOVERNANCE
The Group's framework is anchored in a defined corpus of international standards:
LVMH Code of Conduct
LVMH’s Code of Conduct is designed to provide a common ethical foundation for the Group and its Maisons, outlining the rules to be followed by all employees as they go about their work.
The Code of Conduct was signed by all members of LVMH’s Executive Committee when it was updated in April 2024, and applies to all employees in each Maison, across every business segment and geographic region.
The Code of Conduct reflects LVMH’s commitments in terms of ethics, and social and environmental responsibility, along with the recent initiatives recently taken in these areas, and refers to the charters and policies created within the Group to address these topics.
Available in 25 languages on the LVMH website and available on the Group and Maison intranet platforms, it is communicated to all Group employees, in particular when they join the Company.
It is also included in employee training to promote the Group’s ethical culture and its principles. In addition to the in‑person presentations on this subject, an online module to raise awareness was rolled out at a Group level in the second half of 2024.
The Group’s Maison Presidents are responsible for the implementation of this code in their respective areas.
LVMH Supplier & Business Partner Code of Conduct
The Supplier & Business Partner Code of Conduct sets out the Group’s expectations of its partners (suppliers, service providers, distributors, franchisees, specialist trades, lessors and any third parties in a business relationship with a Group entity) and their subcontractors in various areas, regardless of where they are based geographically and where they are located in the value chain.
The expectations concern corporate social responsibility and respect for human rights: banning forced labor, human trafficking and child labor, banning illegal or undeclared work, harassment, discrimination, measures relating to wages, working hours, freedom of association, health and safety, and protecting local and indigenous communities.
The Group’s partners are required to respect the principles of this Code and must also ensure that their own subcontractors and suppliers do the same when performing their activities for the Group. The Code has been rolled out to all the Group’s Maisons.
The Code of Conduct also gives each Group entity the right to check that its partners and subcontractors across its value chains comply with these principles.
If a partner or one of its subcontractors should violate the Code, each Group entity in a business relationship with that partner reserves the right to demand that the compliance failures be remedied or that the business relationship be suspended or terminated, commensurate with the severity of the violations identified.
These foundational documents are complemented by:
Governance
The Sustainability and Governance Committee of the LVMH Board of Directors ensures the implementation and monitoring of systems related to the duty of vigilance and respect for human rights. The Executive Committee upholds the Group's strong commitment to ethics and social and environmental responsibility, including in relation to modern slavery and forced labor.
In 2026, the Group strengthened its governance with the creation of the Group Vigilance Committee, overseen by the Group Managing Director and composed of four members of the Executive Committee: the Chief Financial Officer, the Human Resources Director, the Director of Image and Environment, and the General Administration and Legal Affairs Director. Its main responsibility is to set out LVMH's vision and strategic direction in relation to ethics, human rights and the environment, both within the Group and across all of the Maisons' value chains.
Operational coordination is provided by the Vigilance Task Force, which brings together seven Group functions (Environmental Development, Social Engagement, Ethics and Compliance, Industrial and Craftsmanship, Purchasing, Audit and Internal Control, and Corporate Affairs) and reports to the Group Vigilance Committee three times a year. The Task Force is responsible for establishing guidelines and standards applicable to all Group activities, coordinating and monitoring action plans across the Maisons and formalizing the Group's Vigilance Plan.
Within most Maisons, Maison Vigilance Committees act as the operational relay of this framework. They are composed of the various functions involved in duty of vigilance issues and oversee the rollout of the vigilance approach at Maison level. The Group's vigilance approach is also supported by several communities of correspondents within the Maisons (in particular the Purchasing, Environment, CSR and Operations communities) who are fully involved in implementing the vigilance framework as part of their respective activities.
FENDI internal policies, including the LVMH Code of Conduct, the LVMH Supplier and Business Partner Code of Conduct, the Supply Chain Monitoring Procedure and the adoption of Organizational, Management & Control Model under the Italian Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 (the “Model 231”) reflect FENDI’s commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all business relationships and enforcing effective systems and controls to prevent modern slavery from taking place in business and supply chain.
Copies of the LVMH Codes of Conduct and UK MSA can be found on website at: https://www.fendi.com/gb-en/legal-privacy-compliance.
FENDI negotiated appropriate contractual obligations reinforcing the supplier's commitment to compliance with both those policies and any modern slavery legislation. FENDI has included anti- modern slavery provisions in its standard terms and conditions used with suppliers and ensured that such provisions are included in any other contracts with suppliers as appropriate.
IV. IDENTIFIED RISKS AND FINDINGS
The Group's risk mapping is built on the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct and on the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
The methodology used as well as a synthesis of priority risks identified by sector are described in the Group 2025 Vigilance Plan.
FENDI has assessed the proper risk profile based on sector and industry risks as medium. All of workers are employed in UK, and FENDI has fair and responsible employment practices in place to protect and promote workers’ rights and guard against the risk of modern slavery.
FENDI recognises that risks of modern slavery may be present in its supply chain due to the sector in which operates, and the types of raw materials used. FENDI is also aware of parts of the supply chain where outsourced/ contracted/ subcontracted labour is used and continually tailors mitigation measures to address those risks. FENDI continues its efforts to classify supplier risks and map key parts of its supply chain to identify and improve understanding of modern slavery risks.
V. MEASURES AND ACTIONS
The LVMH Group considers very important that the Maisons and the Group’s Partners abide by a shared body of rules, practices and principles in relation to ethics, corporate social responsibility and environmental protection.
The Convergence program, which aims to engage the Group’s partners in social and environmental issues, is based on the following main steps:
To identify and manage risks of modern slavery including human trafficking in its own business, FENDI carries out background checks and periodically reassessed employment practices to ensure to meet or surpass employment standards in all jurisdictions in which FENDI operates.
FENDI is constantly in the process of reviewing and improving the approach to supplier due diligence with the aim of ensuring a more robust action plan to address modern slavery risks.
FENDI performed a supplier risk assessment of key suppliers, with due diligence questionnaires, further verifications and specific unannounced audits on-site.
No instances of modern slavery were discovered, so no corrective measures were necessary.
Continue efforts to classify supplier risks and map key parts of the supply chain.
VI. TRAINING
“Responsible Procurement” training is provided to LVMH employees in direct relationship with suppliers, enabling them to be vigilant in their interactions with suppliers so that they can identify potential signs of non‑compliance with LVMH’s Supplier & Business Partner Code of Conduct.
In keeping with the aim of providing support and fostering continuous improvement, the Group and its Maisons regularly offer their suppliers training on responsible procurement.
In particular, the decision was made in 2021 to create an LVMH-wide training program on this subject. The aim of this training is to equip employees who work with suppliers and subcontractors with a deeper understanding of responsible suppliers, responsible products and responsible purchasers. The training gives participants an understanding of the various risks associated with the working conditions of workers in the supply chain.
Delivery of this training program began in 2022, and was further reinforced in 2023 and 2024, with sessions having taken place in France, Italy, North America and Asia. The content of this training was updated in 2025.
To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery including human trafficking in its supply chains, FENDI provides regular training for its employees to provide knowledge and help facilitate compliance with legal requirements across the business. Examples include, but are not limited to, training relating to Code of Conduct, with a focus on forced labour and child labour, the 231 Model and corporate liability law, Anti-Corruption and Competition Law.
The training enabled FENDI to reduce the risk of non-compliance through efficient processes and reliable data and reporting. All documentation, policies, learning material and resources were provided for and were easily accessible to all Fendi UK employees via the company’s intranet.
It is mandatory for all FENDI and Fendi UK employees to familiarise themselves with this statement and it will form part of the induction process for new employees.
VII. ALERT AND REMEDIATION MECHANISMS
LVMH encourages a culture of dialogue and communication within the Group. Any employees and external stakeholders who have questions about how to interpret internal regulations or have any ethical concerns are invited to make this known or ask for advice.
The Group has also implemented a whistleblowing system to collect and process reports submitted in good faith of illicit behavior or behavior contrary to its internal principles of conduct, which aims to protect whistleblowers and prevent potential negative effects on society that would constitute a violation of whistleblower’s rights.
Any current or former employee of the Group and any external Group stakeholder (including suppliers, subcontractors, etc.) can make a report from anywhere around the world. Reports can be submitted via the Maisons’ internal channels (Human Resources and Ethics & Compliance officers) or via the Group’s online platform, “LVMH Alert Line”. This secure, centralized platform protects whistleblowers’ anonymity and can be accessed in 15 languages, notably from the Group’s website (https://www.lvmh.com/en/ethics-and- compliance/lvmh-alertline).
LVMH’s Alert Policy sets out the reporting channels that exist within the Group as well as the rules governing how reports are received and processed. These rules detail how reports are screened, how corrective measures are taken where a breach of the Group’s rules is identified and how whistleblowers are protected (in compliance with Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of October 23, 2019 relating to whistleblower protection and with French Law No. 2022‑401 of March 21, 2022 aimed at improving whistleblower protection). Under the Alert Policy, whistleblowing investigations must be entirely confidential and independent, be completed within a reasonable time frame and be proportionate. The Maisons’ Presidents are responsible for implementing this policy in their respective organizations.
The Alert Policy and whistleblowing system are explained in the Code of Conduct, and each Maison uses displays, written communications and other awareness‑raising actions to make employees and external stakeholders aware of the system and policy. In addition, the Alert Policy is shared on LVMH’s website and the intranets of the Maisons. The online training module related to the Code of Conduct, developed for all Group employees, also describes the reporting channels available and provides access to the Alert Policy. Furthermore, the Supplier & Business Partner Code of Conduct signed by the Group’s business partners explains that suppliers and partners can use the LVMH whistleblowing system and contains a hypertext link to the Group’s Alert Policy.
When an incident is reported on the LVMH Alert Line, it is received by the Group’s Ethics & Compliance Department and then passed on to the Ethics & Compliance Officer of the Maison concerned for processing. As an exception, to ensure that reports received are treated impartially and objectively, some cases are handled by the Group if:
The Group ensures that there are no disciplinary measures or retaliation against whistleblowers who have reported an incident in good faith, or against anyone who has assisted them:
The Maisons issue regular communications about the whistleblowing system, notably when welcoming new employees, through training sessions, either in person or using communication materials such as displays or awareness videos.
Employees are informed in particular about how they can access the system and the fact that the Group prohibits any retaliation against whistleblowers using the system in good faith.
The effectiveness of these communications is reflected in the significant increase in the number of whistleblowing reports received through Group channels each year.
Internal guidelines specify the rules of the Alert Policy and the best practices to be adopted by employees in charge of processing and investigating reports received. These employees undertake regular training, which, among other aspects, covers the principles of confidentiality and impartiality to be applied during internal investigations, and the need to protect whistleblowers.
The Ethics & Compliance training programs held in April and May 2025 provided ongoing training to 135 compliance officers on how to handle whistleblowing reports and apply the Group’s internal whistleblowing investigation methodology. Similarly, in addition to Maison‑specific training, in 2025 the Group trained over 300 human resources employees and directors tasked with handling whistleblowing reports within their Maisons.
Reports received are handled in compliance with the Group’s Alert Policy and, where applicable, give rise to whistleblowing investigations - conducted in compliance with the relevant legal framework - and corrective actions, such as training, awareness initiatives, reminders about internal rules, termination of the business relationship with a Group partner, and disciplinary procedures, which can extend to employee dismissal. Alerts and the resulting corrective actions can be used to help improve risk identification and prevention procedures, as part of a continuous improvement approach specific to the Group’s ethics policy.
In 2025, 2,280 reports were received via the LVMH Alert Line and other reporting channels specific to Group Maisons and entities (compared to 1,744 reports received as of December 31, 2024, via the same platforms and channels). The increase in the number of reports each year is testament to the growing understanding and uptake of the Group’s whistleblowing system among employees and external stakeholders.
As of December 31, 2025:
FENDI adhered to the “LVMH Alert Line”, a secure third-party centralised whistleblowing system that guarantees confidentiality, available in 15 languages. This online platform, which can be accessed from the website address https://www.lvmh.com serves to collect and process reports submitted by employees or external stakeholders concerning situations liable to constitute infringements of laws, regulations, the LVMH Code of Conduct or other policies put in place by FENDI.
FENDI recognises that any modern slavery or child labour found in an organisation’s business or supply chain should be addressed on a first-priority basis, and as such, have developed a plan for:
During the reporting period covered by this statement we have not discovered any instances of modern slavery in our business or supply chain. As such, no remediation measures were necessary.
