We work exclusively with companies that comply with our sustainability guidelines and take responsibility for their employees. This includes ensuring socially acceptable working conditions and paying fair wages.
We visit our production sites in person - both announced and unannounced - and get an idea of the working conditions on site. In addition, we rely on external audits such as the one by GOTS to control sensitive information.
We do not work with so-called subcontractors - middlemen - whose business model is to place orders with unknown production partners who produce the goods for a fraction of the order volume - at the expense of the textile workers in the factories.
