Terms and Conditions last updated 9 August 2013

La Prairie Group AG, registered in Switzerland

Company Registration Number CHE 106.320.403

Bellerivestrasse 36, 8008 Zürich, Switzerland

Statement on slavery and human trafficking

La Prairie Group is committed to fair employment practices and to the protection of human rights. Accordingly, we recognize and support the importance of fair labor practices within our company and our supply chain. We therefore do not tolerate any form of forced or compulsory labor, child labor or human trafficking in direct or indirect association with our Company’s activities and the production of our products.

La Prairie recognizes and supports the object of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (UK), which provides customers and businesses with information on what efforts a company undertakes to prevent human trafficking within their organization and in particular their supply chain.

We have developed a La Prairie Supplier Code of Conduct (the “Code”), which sets out binding criteria for responsible action. This is designed to ensure that our suppliers meet the same standards in the area of human rights that are important to us. The Code covers issues such as anti-corruption, environmental protection and prohibits forced labor and child labor.

We have developed an appropriate system which monitors our suppliers’ compliance with the Code and regulates how we deal with any non-compliance.

With regards to all of the points above, this is to confirm that our current turnover is above £36 million, and that we are aware that we have a legal obligation to adhere to the above points regarding slavery and human trafficking.
