Response from Lotto

Proposal C4: Report publicly on how suppliers are chosen and/or eliminated.

Lotto says its selection policy adheres to its Code of Conduct, but makes no commitment on CSR performance, and managing the impact of exiting factories.

Full response

"In terms of our selection process, when identifying a supplier we adhere to the terms that are outlined in our Code of Conduct, we also consider whether a supplier can meet our demands of quality and quantity, delivery times and level of service required. We also emphasise that
our weight, compared to the weight of our competitors is minimal, and therefore, it is extremely rare that a factory would suffer should we cease our partnership with them, in the instance of a factory closure, it would in fact be Lotto Sport Italia that would suffer."
