ETHICAL MANUFACTURING
from Cloke Catalogue
The apparel industry is incredibly complex. Your garments will go on a long journey, from a field of cotton waiting to be picked, a paddock full of merino sheep needing shearing, or from the incredibly complex machinery required by man-made yarns. The process involves many relationships, spanning multiple continents, languages and cultures.
It gets even more complex when you do it the right way. For us, that means an emphasis on the ethics and sustainability of our supply chain.
Our factory code of conduct is based on the 12 principles set out by the WRAP Organisation (Worldwide Responsible Accreditation). These principles include the prohibition of forced labour, child labour, abuse, discrimination; and ensure fair compensation, working hours, environment, and health and safety We believe a factory should not only meet these standards 'on paper' but that a culture of care should exist top down.
