Ethical Procedures
All of our mills are licensed members of GoodWeave or similar organizations. Licensed producers must meet requirements like these from the GoodWeave Standard–a standard rooted in three unwavering principles:
-
No child labor is allowed
-
No forced or bonded labor is allowed
-
Workplace conditions are documented and verifiable
GoodWeave and other certifiers make regular, unannounced inspections of all production facilities that cover tier one factories and all outsourced production sites, including homes, to verify compliance with this Standard. These producers also undergo a separate annual audit to document their performance against the Standard's following progress principles:
-
Freedom of association and collective bargaining are recognized
-
No discrimination is practiced
-
Decent working conditions are respected, including workplace safety and health, wages, working hours, and disciplinary practices
-
Negative environmental impacts of production are identified and minimized
