We devoted us to fight for better working conditions, joining the FWF as a member in 2011. We put a lot of effort in mapping the risks and anticipating on them. Thus we
work closely together with the factories we source from and with most of them and whenever possible we have long-term relationships...To ensure fair working conditions onsite we exclusively cooperate with a Serbian production consultant and technician...We want to make clear that the FWF standards apply for every single partner we work with, in Asia and in Europe, and it’s our aim to make sure that workers’ rights are fully respected – at all our cooperating production sites. Reaching out for a securing payment of living wage is an assignment, too. As it is our approach to handle issues together with the factory management to realize improvements we get in contact whenever needed. And this is exactly what we did and what we do in Serbia, too.
