Compliance & transparency

Where we stand — in full

Radical transparency. We tell you exactly where we stand — what we hold today, and what we’re still building. No greenwashing, no borrowed badges. For a young factory you’ve never met, honesty is worth more than a wall of logos.
Where we stand today

What we hold, and what we’re building

Three honest states — held, in progress, or planned. We won’t show a badge we haven’t earned, and we won’t hide a gap. That’s the whole point.

While the certificates are earned

What you can rely on from us right now

A compliance manager isn’t buying t-shirts — they’re buying audit-readiness and reputational safety. Here’s how we de-risk working with a young supplier today.

Open-door factory access

Come and see the floor in person. A supplier with nothing to hide invites the visit — we do.

Live video walkthroughs

Can’t travel? We’ll walk your goods on the line over a live video call, at any stage of your order.

OEKO-TEX-certified fabric

Where your program needs it, we source certified fabric and hand you the mill’s test certificate.

A named compliance contact

One accountable person answers your compliance questions directly — not a ticket queue.

What the standards mean

A plain-English guide for buyers

The certifications sourcing teams ask about — what each one actually is, and which matter most for EU and UK private-label programs.

amfori BSCI

A social-compliance audit framework (11 principles: no child or forced labour, fair pay, safety, freedom of association). Most EU retailers require it to onboard a supplier. It produces a findings report and rating — not a pass/fail certificate.

Sedex / SMETA

SMETA is the audit method; Sedex is the platform that stores the result. Two-pillar covers labour and health & safety; four-pillar adds environment and business ethics. Preferred by UK and US buyers.

WRAP

A certification (Gold / Platinum / Silver) confirming lawful, humane, and ethical production. Common for US-facing apparel programs.

OEKO-TEX Standard 100

A product-safety certification: the fabric is tested for harmful substances. It certifies the textile, not the factory — which is why we can offer it today through certified mill fabric.

ISO 9001 / 14001

Management-system standards for quality (9001) and environmental management (14001).

SA8000

The most rigorous stand-alone social-accountability certification.

For EU and UK private-label buyers, amfori BSCI and Sedex/SMETA are the two that typically gate supplier onboarding — so they sit at the top of our roadmap. OEKO-TEX we can offer today through certified fabric. Ethical certification is now a baseline expectation, not a differentiator — which is exactly why our early honesty is the differentiator while ours are earned.
