Supply Chain Transparency Statement

For over ninety years, the LEGO Group has worked to create a positive and lasting impact within the communities where it operates. Since its early days, the company has been guided by principles rooted in care, accountability, and a dedication to quality. These core values influence how it interacts with children, employees, partners, and society as a whole. The same high expectations applied internally are also extended to suppliers, business partners, and collaborators throughout its global network.

A strong emphasis is placed on respect for individuals and the protection of human rights. Across the world, many people still face unacceptable working and living conditions that undermine basic human dignity. Reports indicate that millions are affected by modern forms of exploitation, including forced and child labor. These challenges underscore the need for collective responsibility and long-term action. Through global initiatives such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, there is a shared commitment to eliminate modern slavery in all forms by 2030, presenting both a challenge and an opportunity for organizations to contribute to meaningful change.

The LEGO Group acknowledges that risks related to modern slavery can arise at different stages within a complex international supply chain. As a result, it continually works to identify, evaluate, and address such risks, not only within its own operations but also among suppliers, subcontractors, and licensing partners. Safeguarding workers and communities is viewed as a shared obligation across all business relationships. Alignment with recognized international frameworks, including the UN Global Compact, reflects this commitment and reinforces the expectation of ethical conduct at every level.

To support these efforts, structured governance systems and internal policies are in place. Oversight teams are responsible for ensuring compliance, addressing concerns, and guiding priorities related to corporate responsibility and sustainability. Company-wide standards define expectations regarding human rights, labor practices, and ethical behavior. These guidelines apply globally and are designed to identify potential risks early while ensuring appropriate action is taken.

Expectations for responsible conduct are clearly defined and apply to production facilities, suppliers, and business partners. These standards are based on national laws, international labor principles, and widely accepted human rights frameworks. They are incorporated into contractual agreements and supported by monitoring processes that allow for verification. Practices such as coercion, withholding personal identification, unfair recruitment fees, or any form of involuntary labor are strictly prohibited. Workers must always have the freedom to choose their employment without being subjected to debt, threats, or misleading practices.

Openness and accountability are key elements of this approach. Regular disclosures provide insight into the actions taken to prevent and reduce risks associated with modern slavery and human trafficking. These reports cover global operations and are prepared in accordance with legal requirements in different regions. By communicating policies, procedures, and progress clearly, the organization aims to strengthen trust and demonstrate responsibility to its stakeholders.

Beyond regulatory compliance, the broader goal is to support future generations while acting responsibly toward people and the environment. This includes maintaining safe and fair working conditions, promoting inclusive workplaces, and contributing positively to the communities it serves. The LEGO Group recognizes that progress requires continuous learning, cooperation, and a willingness to improve over time.

Looking forward, efforts remain focused on strengthening due diligence practices, increasing awareness through training, and collaborating closely with partners to improve standards across the supply chain. While challenges may persist, maintaining strong ethical principles and clear expectations helps ensure that growth is aligned with respect for human rights. Through consistent action and shared commitment, the LEGO Group continues working toward a more transparent, fair, and responsible global business environment.
