Compliance
Every order placed in an audited factory.
Compliance is not a page on a website — it is a file we keep current for every mill in the network. Ask for any of it before you place an order, and again before you ship.
Standards we work to
RSC / ACCORD
Structural, fire and electrical safety programme clearance at every partner facility, re-checked each season.
SEDEX / SMETA
Ethical trade audit data held on file and shared with buyers on request.
BSCI-ready
Partner mills prepared for BSCI and buyer-specific social audits without a scramble.
OEKO-TEX materials
Certified yarn and fabric routes available where a programme requires them.
LEED-certified units
Green-building manufacturing available inside the network for brands that need it.
AQL 2.5 inspection
Our standard final inspection level, tightened whenever a buyer requires it.
