In 2018 we integrated our CSR strategy into our company goals. We’ve connected with the right partners such as Modint to support us in our CSR journey.
We are also a member of Amfori-BSCI, an independent organization which verifies that our factories operate in an ethical and social responsible way.
Our sewing facilities and practices are checked regularly by us and our partner in Asia.
