Social Responsibility

BETTER OVERSIGHT STARTS
IN OUR OWN FACTORIES

Social responsibility starts with the people who make our products. Because 98% of our workwear and 100% of our footwear are manufactured in-house, we have much greater oversight of working conditions, health and safety, and ongoing improvements in our factories.

That gives us clearer accountability and the ability to act quickly when something needs to change.

Working conditions that stand up to scrutiny

Working conditions, human rights and business ethics are assessed through third-party audits and recognised standards such as SA8000 and amfori BSCI. Facilities document results and can use them for internal improvement and external review.

For procurement teams, that means clearer evidence, less time spent chasing documentation and greater confidence when assessing suppliers.

Production facilities verified by third parties

Our own production facilities are certified to STeP by OEKO-TEX®, which covers chemical management, environmental performance, quality, health and safety and working conditions.

Independent reviews are carried out regularly, turning claims into evidence that can be checked and compared over time.

CODE OF CONDUCT AND SUPPLIER REQUIREMENTS

Our Code of Conduct sets out the requirements we place on suppliers and business partners in areas including working conditions, the environment, human rights and business ethics.

It provides a clear basis for dialogue, supplier reviews and improvement work, while giving customers a defined set of requirements to refer to when their own due diligence requires it.

Long-term supplier relationships and responsible sourcing

We work with a limited number of suppliers and build long-term relationships. Ten suppliers provide 90 per cent of our textile materials, making requirements easier to verify, issues easier to address and improvements easier to drive together over time.

Working with fewer suppliers does not reduce our responsibility. It gives us a clearer view of where that responsibility sits and how to act on it.
