Responsibility at Fabienne Chapot

 We only aim for long-term relationships with factories we know, 35 different ones via multiple agents. A list of these factories can be found here. We visit them frequently and work with a code of conduct (strict requirements to the supplier on the way to work) and a buying commitment (guarantee that Fabienne Chapot will not challenge the suppliers to an extent that they will be forced to use alternative production methods). To be able to audit our production locations we have joined the BSCI. These independent audits facilitate us to, when needed, take steps to improve the working conditions at these locations and meet official standards. The next step is to also audit and monitor all other parties that are involved in making our products, like subcontractors, fabric mills, dyeing houses, print houses, trim suppliers, etc. We signed the Dutch Agreement on Sustainable Garment and Textiles in 2018. Together we look at subjects we care about, like working conditions, climate change and animal welfare. We also created a policy on these subjects which can be found in our Code of Conduct.
