The sportswear industry was built on the concept of constantly relocating from a factory to another with the purpose of obtaining the lowest product costs possible. From the start, this practice was never considered by our organization as we strongly promote the values of loyalty and morality.
We contributed to the reinstatement of one of our competitors’ factory left, without notice, out of business. The current owner, who was a former product quality inspector for a large brand at the factory, took the initiative of partnering with the head chemist in charge to reinstate the business and start from the ground up. They reemployed all the workers left without a job and created an independent shoe factory. We knew from the start that these were the type of individuals we wanted to partner with. It was always primordial for us to form long term alliances that were equally profitable for all parties. It has now been 6 years since we created a strong relationship based on trust and reliability with this factory. They have been extremely supportive in our projects and development as a company always providing us with the highest quality products and most recent innovation recommendations.
Fighting unethical manufacturing practices within our industry:
We aim to be a pioneer in the combat against manufacturing ethical issues. We have established world-leading working standards for all employees involved in our supply chain. It is our mission to fight against the unethical manufacturing practices within our industry and to provide a framework that can be replicated and applied.
