We have been a member of the Fair Wear Foundation since 1 January 2021, taking the next big step on our consistent path towards even greater sustainability. The Fair Wear Foundation brings together local partners in production countries, associations, NGOs and textile companies from various sectors. The common goal: innovative solutions and a sustainable improvement in working conditions in textile production.
With our membership, we are once again emphasising our claim to be one of the most sustainable suppliers in our industry. We want to produce high-quality and particularly durable textiles for our customers - while ensuring the highest possible ecological and social standards. By becoming a member of the Fair Wear Foundation, we are committed to the highest social standards - both for the employees of our production partners abroad and for the 175 employees at our site in Schrozberg.
As part of our membership, we have signed the strict Fair Wear Code of Conduct. This formulates eight criteria for fair working conditions, which we have made our goal. These include: living wages, reasonable working hours, safe working conditions and a clear no to child labour.
Fair working conditions have always been a top priority for us. By joining the Fair Wear Foundation, we are delighted to have a partner at our side who supports us with their experience and network in taking the next step in our supply chain management.
Incidentally, the Fair Wear Foundation audits HAKRO's sustainability management in an annual Brand Performance Check. The co-operation with our production partners, our joint measures on site and everything we do at our company headquarters in Schrozberg are scrutinised in detail.
