“Individually we can accomplish great things, with collaboration we can accomplish incredible things.”
Working Conditions
Since 2009 we have been a member of the Business Social Compliance Initiative. All factories we work with have a valid BSCI audit, including those in low risk countries.
We closely track the progress of the implementation of the Corrective Action Plan and collaborate closely with our suppliers to keep an eye on day to day working conditions.
Animal Welfare
We use materials that come from farms with good animal
husbandry which are derived from bi-products of the meat industry. Unethical and painful slaughter or any other cruelty towards animals will not be tolerated. Materials for production are never obtained from exotic endangered animals.
Environment
Audits
The BSCI audit includes an environmental assessment to verify the impact of the production process.
Sustainable Material Sourcing
We encourage factories to use recyclable and biodegradable materials and to phase out PVC and VOC’s (chemicals with high vapor pressure).
Packaging Declaration
Our production units comply with European commission directive on packaging and packaging waste (94/62/EC).
Carbon Emission Reduction
We use green energy at our office and transport our goods from the harbor to our warehouse in an environmentally friendly way.
Hazardous Chemicals
In our chemical commitment all factories sign to comply with European regulations that are applicable to the footwear industry. Compliance is monitored by chemical tests. In case results are exceeding limits, a follow up procedure will be started with the factory or material supplier to obtain better results in the future. We expect them to find the cause and a solution to ensure better results for future orders. All test results are registered in our database to create transparency in the performance of our factories,
material suppliers and materials.
In this way we are able to monitor compliance and intervene on those that need to improve. This makes it possible for us to work on continuous improvement and to select the best business partners.
Partnership Manual
Supply Chain stability is the most important condition to improve the impact of sustainability. Our long term partnerships are very important to us. We are working together with a lot of our factories for over 15 years. Together we work on continuous improvement in field of CSR. We’ve secured our policy in a partnership manual and before we start working with a new factory, we make sure they can comply to all precautions.
OUR BRANDS
We are the go-to partner for brands that are looking for a strong and reliable global operating footwear partner. We focus on making footwear a serious part of the brands overall turnover, while professionally supporting the image building of the brand as if it were our own.
