Since 1 January 2021, we are a member of the Fair Wear Foundation and are thus taking the next big step on our consistent path towards even more 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 of working conditions in textile production.

With our membership, we once again underline 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 commit ourselves 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 Labour Practices. This formulates eight criteria for fair working conditions which we set as our goal. These criteria include living wages, appropriate 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 pleased to have a partner at our side who, with its experience and network, supports us in taking the next step in our supply chain management.

By the way: The Fair Wear Foundation reviews HAKRO's sustainability management in an annual Brand Performance Check. Here, the cooperation with our production partners, our joint measures on site and everything we do at our company site in Schrozberg are closely examined.
