Konges Sløjd knows the big role in their sustainability approach played by the people involved in their production processes. To ensure fair working conditions, the brand set up the following strategy: From 2022, they are a member of Amfori BSCI, an organisation dedicated to social compliance and better working conditions within the companies involved. This membership is especially important in regard to the Asian suppliers the brand works with because it helps ensure equity and safety in those factories – let’s not forget this area of the world scores among the lowest when it comes to workplace conditions and wages.
They also ensure their suppliers follow GOTS, SA8000 and Sedex guidelines in their facilities.
Moreover, the brand carries out audits during the initial, middle, and final stages of the production. A good approach is to make sure the suppliers follow good practices long-term. Most of their suppliers are located in India, China, Turkey, and sometimes Australia, with whom they have daily contact.
