CODE OF CONDUCT

We manufacture with one supplier partner who has been selected for their high-quality manufacturing techniques and ethical/environmental standards. We endeavour for the very best practice when sourcing, manufacturing and retailing our footwear and have ensured that our supplier’s social and environmental policies are in line with its own.

Our code of conduct has strict standards regarding:

Legal compliance
Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining
Prohibition of discrimination
Compensation
Working hours
Workplace health and safety
Prohibition of child labour
Prohibition of forced labour and disciplinary measures
Environment and safety issues

Animal ethics 

All our material and component suppliers, as well as our dyehouses, meet REACH standards. Our materials are also Leather Working Group certified to a gold standard.  The LWG audit standards provide transparency and accountability within the leather supply chain, covering energy and water usage, safe chemical practises, worker health and safety, and wastewater management.

Our factory proudly undergoes SMETA audits, demonstrating their commitment to social responsibility and environmental stewardship for their premium manufacturing operations, consistently exceeding industry benchmarks for ethical, premium production.
