Our Factories
The factories we work with play a key role in our sustainability efforts. That’s why we have developed a Code of Conduct which all suppliers must sign in addition to our supplier agreements.
Our Code of Conduct sets requirements for all our suppliers regarding working conditions, human rights, safety, non-discrimination, and anti-corruption, as well as environmental standards, chemical management, product safety, and packaging.
The factories we work with are located in Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, and Jiaxing, China. Our longest-standing partner is a factory in Shenzhen that we have worked with since 2018. Over the years, it has made the majority of our clothing, including most of our bestsellers. Today, most of our collections are made by our main supplier, our partner since 2023. Read more about it below.
We visit our factories at least once a year to follow up on our requirements for working conditions, safety, environmental standards and to support improvements on site. The visits also help us build long-term relationships with our partners.
Shenzhen, China
Our factory in Shenzhen is a small, female-led factory that delivers incredible quality. This is the factory we have been working with since 2018 and where we have produced the majority of our clothing throughout the years.
Working hours
All employees work 08.00-17.00, Monday to Saturday. All employees receive a pension and have the right to apply for vacation during all holidays, such as Chinese New Year (one month), birthdays, weddings, and other occasions.
Working Conditions
The factory is responsible for further education for the employees so they can develop in the profession and thus develop in their careers.
The factory currently has a WCA certificate. The WCA certificate is valid for one year, which means that our factory must apply for a new one every year.
WCA addresses the following and more:
- Labor (Child/Forced Labor, Discrimination, Discipline, Harassment/Abuse, Freedom of Association, Labor Contracts)
- Wages and Hours (Wages and Benefits; Working Hours)
- Health and Safety (General Work Facility, Emergency Preparedness, Occupational Injury, Machine Safety, Safety Hazards, Chemical and Hazardous Material, Dormitory and Canteen)
- Management Systems (Documentation and Records, Worker Feedback and Participation, Audits and Corrective Action Process)
- Environment (Legal Compliance, Environmental Management Systems, Waste and Air Emissions)
The factory has also been audited by the social auditing system Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), developed by Amfori. This demonstrates that employees have reasonable working hours and fair compensation, a safe and healthy working environment, and protections for younger workers. The report also verifies respect for freedom of association and collective bargaining, ethical business conduct, and environmental responsibility. Additionally, the factory ensures there is no child labor, forced labor, unsafe working conditions, or discrimination.
