Fair, Transparent & Ethical - 3 pillars of our Sourcing
All our core values are personally aligned to us, which makes it positively reinforcing to actually do it, not just in words!
-
"keep your people right and the product/business exceeds your expectations"
-
"We are after all the same end-consumers who purchase clothes from brands that we deliver to, hence this is personal to us too!"
-
"We not only do this for the buyer's sake, but for our own risks of losing our brand reputation & incurring financial losses due to poor products / business conduct"
Labour & Human Rights
We ensure that direct physical visits are made to our partnered vendors, ensuring clean & safe workplaces for their employees. We are strongly against sweatshop practices / unsafe working environments / environments that do not meet basic workplace necessities.
We don't believe this just as a necessity but as our core principle passed down from our family business "keep your people right and the product/business exceeds your expectations"
Compliance
We ensure that the vendor's have a registered business & are compliant to local laws and regulations.
We check for the relevant buyer requested certification for the raw materials supplied by our vendors, using actual web based verifiers such as BCI's third party verification.
Ethical Business
We ensure to cross check newly discovered vendors for bribery, corruption, extortion, or embezzlement. We cross check with our reliable network of supply chain built over 40 years.
This ensures that 99% of our vendors are referenced, recommended by other trusted vendors in our supply chain for their ethical & quality business practices.
