Our Corporate Responsibilities & Commitments
We are proud of our commitment to sourcing products and services in an ethically responsible manner. We consider the welfare of workers, health and safety and potential environmental impacts.
Our Ethical Sourcing Policy is primarily based on conducting business ethically, manufacturing responsibly and demonstrating environmental consciousness. We choose our partners carefully with factories across China, India and Bangladesh, who must adhere to international manufacturing standards, these may include:
The Fashion Biz Ethical Sourcing Policy applies to all facilities that produce goods or provide services for the Fashion Biz Group of Companies or any of its subsidiaries, business units, or agents.
Fashion Biz is committed to sourcing products and services in an ethical and responsible manner, and considering the welfare of workers, health and safety and potential environmental impacts. The Fashion Biz Ethical Sourcing Policy is based primarily on Ethical Trade Initiative Base Code (ETI), conducting business ethically, manufacturing responsibly and demonstrating environmental consciousness. The policy details the minimum requirements that suppliers must meet to conduct business with the Fashion Biz Group of Companies.
Fashion Biz encourages suppliers to adopt procedures and practices that go beyond the minimum requirements set out in this Policy.
An Environmental Change For The Better
As well as our ethical and social policies, Fashion Biz aims to change the culture of business to design more sustainable packaging, increase recycling rates and minimise packaging consumption to reduce our environmental impact. We continue to review all our plastic packaging procedures to reduce, reuse or recycle wherever we possibly can. We are making it a priority to change our product life cycle for the better. That means growing a better future for both our customers and the planet.
Following on from some initial packaging reductions made in late 2019 and throughout 2020, we are now taking further steps to reduce, reuse or recycle wherever we possibly can, and you will see these changes across more product lines in the future. We’re pleased to say that over the next 12 months we expect to see a 20% reduction in plastic consumption across our business as a direct result of this trial. We continue to review all our plastic packaging procedures to reduce, reuse or recycle wherever we possibly can.
