Our traceability system

The integrity and impact of our supply chain is a top priority for us, and it starts by making sure we understand and monitor all processes. Our traceability system is designed to provide comprehensive oversight and continuous improvement throughout all points of the chain: yarn, fabric and final product.

Key aspects of our traceability system:

Supplier validation process

We conduct rigorous internal and external validation of our suppliers. This includes verifying certifications and collecting evidence through social, labor & environmental assessments to ensure compliance and foster continuous improvement.

Monitoring with retraced and external audits

Using the retraced platform, we centralize supplier information, conduct thorough assessments, and develop improvement plans to ensure ongoing adherence to our standards.

Binding Agreements

Our suppliers sign a code of conduct and partnership agreements that include binding clauses on social and environmental issues, ensuring contractual commitment to our values. We update them yearly to make sure we can update new laws and regulations.
