1. Our Suppliers


Before anyone can manufacture Watsons Own Brand products, they must have Good Manufacturing Practices in place, assessed by external auditing agencies and/or our own Quality Assurance teams.


a) We conduct business responsibly


b) Improving working conditions in our supply chain:

The AS Watson Group has been a member of amfori’s Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) since 2008. This initiative aims to improve working conditions in the global supply chain.

All our suppliers must first agree to amfori’s code of conduct and then accept regular compliance audits carried out by appointed external agencies.

We help reduce factory audit fatigue and speak out on “zero tolerance” issues.

We monitor our suppliers’ performances and provide e-learning tools and workshops for improvement.

d) Good Manufacturing Practices

We use only qualified manufacturers

All our manufacturing practices are approved through our Development, Quality Assurance and Regulatory teams.

We regularly visit Own Brand manufacturers to review all production processes and records related to raw materials and finished product controls.

We ensure safety and quality through chemical and/or microbiological tests performed by external independent laboratories and our own internal ISO17025 accredited laboratory.
