PARTNER-FACTORY CREDENTIALS

The right scope.
For the right order.

Our company profile identifies a range of certifications and programmes across the factories we work with. Each has its own purpose: product safety, organic or recycled content, social accountability, workplace safety or supply-chain security.

We review the requirements for your order against the proposed production partner. A factory certificate, an assessment and a programme membership are different forms of evidence; the relevant record must cover the right entity, location and activity.

Factory-specific documentation. Product-specific claims. A clearer sourcing decision.
