Report 2023
We are pleased to continue our trusted collaboration with our suppliers, especially with Purecotz, in 2026.
Together with our customers, we aim to help eliminate the most serious risks identified in our risk analysis (child labor and discrimination/harassment) within our supply chain. Our goal is to ensure that people working in textile production can do so under humane working conditions, free from discrimination and without the use of child labor. The objective of paying living wages should enable parents to send their children to school instead of having them work. To achieve this goal and fulfill our due diligence obligations, we are committed to implementing appropriate measures: We pay our supplier the prices he requests from us in order to implement living wages in accordance with the Fairtrade Textile Standard. At the same time, we receive reports on the lowest wages paid and will monitor developments in the coming years. In line with the certifications we require, our producer must have a democratically elected workers’ representative body (Compliance Committee) to which workers can turn in confidence and submit complaints about grievances. In addition to this internal complaint mechanism, complaints can also be submitted directly to us or through certifiers (e.g., FloCert). In 2025, 1 complaint was reported through this system.
Furthermore, in 2025, we did not impose any binding delivery deadlines on our supplier in order to prevent potential capacity bottlenecks and the associated risks (overtime, pressure on employees). We continuously adapt our measures based on our learning experiences.
