There are between 75 million workers* making the world’s clothes and shoes - 80% of them are women* - with families to feed and dreams of their own.
We really care about the people who make our clothes, so we only work with manufacturers who can guarantee the safety and wellbeing of all the workers involved throughout our supply chain. Our Code of Conduct stipulates that we must create a healthy work environment inside the factories and pay fair wages.
We have long-lasting and committed relationships with our manufacturing partners, who we consider friends of our collective and who are also committed to people and the planet.
We have a range of our manufacturing partners, some of whom specialise in different material types, which reflects and responds to the diverse types of waste materials that we rescue.
