Response by Gerry Weber
The GERRY WEBER GROUP produces its garments for our core brands GERRY WEBER, TAIFUN and SAMOON in different regions including Europe and Asia. We are using certified resources only.
We are aiming to offer transparency about the origin of our products by disclosing the country of origin on the inside label.
To achieve the payment of living wages is an integral target of our strategy.
Therefore, GERRY WEBER joined the Partnership for Sustainable Textiles in 2015.
Governments, enterprises, non-governmental organisations, trade unions and standardisation bodies can all contribute to improving and aligning social and environmental conditions along the supply chain in the long term. The Textiles Partnership was founded with the purpose of bringing these actor groups together. GERRY WEBER committed to making a meaningful contribution and therefore joined the partnership in 2015.
In 2010, we became an active member of the Amfori Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI). By joining forces with some 2,000 companies, we systematically work to achieve improvements along the supply chain and pool our resources to reach our shared objectives.
We have joined Amfori BSCI to make sure that our global suppliers comply with and improve international labour and social standards.
GERRY WEBER would appreciate to receive precise and traceable indication on non-compliances at our partner factories. This would enable us to start a dialogue and work on improvements in cooperation with our partner.
