our values
At Athletekits, we don't believe in adding more noise to the world of sport
We believe in something simpler: good footwear, honest choices, and a reason to keep moving
Our brand is built around three values that shape what we offer, how we think, and the experience we want every Athletekits customer to have
Athletic Gorilla does not tolerate modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking or other forms of serious exploitation.
We expect our own activities and relevant business relationships to reflect basic principles of dignity, lawful working conditions and respect for fundamental human rights.
1. Our Commitment
Athletic Gorilla will not knowingly support or benefit from practices involving:
-
Slavery or servitude
-
Forced or compulsory labour
-
Human trafficking
-
Bonded or debt labour
-
Exploitative or unlawful child labour
-
Coercion or unlawful restriction of workers' freedom
-
Other serious forms of labour exploitation
These expectations apply, where relevant, to employees, directors, contractors, suppliers, fulfilment partners, service providers and other business partners.
2. Suppliers and Business Partners
We expect businesses we work with to operate lawfully and ethically and to respect fundamental labour and human rights.
Where appropriate, Athletic Gorilla may consider available information about suppliers or partners and review credible concerns that come to our attention.
If serious misconduct is identified, appropriate action may include seeking clarification or corrective measures, restricting further activity or ending the relevant business relationship.
3. Risk Awareness and Due Diligence
Our approach is based on reasonable and proportionate steps rather than unsupported claims about parts of the supply chain we do not directly control.
Depending on the circumstances, these steps may include:
-
Working with established and reputable businesses
-
Reviewing available supplier or partner information
-
Communicating expectations concerning ethical conduct
-
Considering credible labour or human-rights concerns
-
Reassessing relationships where serious risks emerge
The level of review may vary according to the nature of the relationship and the information reasonably available to us.
4. Responsibility
People working for or with Athletic Gorilla are expected to:
-
Act lawfully and ethically
-
Avoid conduct that contributes to exploitation
-
Raise credible concerns when they become aware of them
-
Cooperate with reasonable enquiries into suspected violations
Modern slavery or trafficking concerns connected to our business should not knowingly be ignored.
