Responsibility in manufacturing

We believe in producing high-quality clothes under safe and fair conditions. We have set requirements for responsible manufacturing and for the quality and durability of our products, which every product must meet, regardless of the place of manufacture. We strive for long-term partnerships, where we can together promote responsible production and ensure the high quality of our products.

Well-being at home and far away

Presentation of Nanso's suppliers

A fair partnership

We believe that even with our own purchasing practices, we can significantly influence the risks caused by price and schedule pressures that are typical in the industry. We try to give our partners enough time to produce the products and we never choose a supplier based on price alone. We also never compete with suppliers through an auction, so that there is no pressure on our suppliers to neglect the environment and/or their employees under price or schedule pressure.

Our criteria for selecting suppliers

We only cooperate with partners who fit Nanso Group's values ​​and responsibility criteria. We always evaluate suppliers as a whole.

Factors influencing the choice of partners:

• commitment to our responsibility criteria
• company size, location and technical capability
• high-quality workmanship, price and product safety
• willingness to develop responsible operating methods

All Nanso partners must undertake to comply with:

1. Nanso Group's Code of Conduct
2. Nanso Group's producer contracts
3. Operating principles of Amfori BSCI

Member of Amfori BSCI since 2008 

In our purchasing activities, we follow amfori BSCI operating principles, the aim of which is to improve working conditions in international supply chains. We have been a member of amfori BSCI since 2008.

We only cooperate with those suppliers operating in risky countries who are already BSCI certified or who start the certification process when the cooperation begins. In 2023, all (100%) of Nanso's suppliers in risky countries were BSCI-audited.

Although BSCI membership does not solve all supply chain-related social responsibility challenges, we always strive to create sustainable partnerships. Through long-term and smooth cooperation, we can encourage and guide our suppliers in their responsibility work.

Amphora BEPI

In 2023, we joined the amfori BEPI program, the goal of which is to identify, monitor and develop suppliers' promotion of environmental issues. With BEPI membership, we strive to strengthen the progress of our supply chain's environmental responsibility work.

Of Nanso Group's suppliers located in risky countries, 10/39 (2023) participate in BEPI. The work is progressing step by step. We have focused the work on Nanso's most significant suppliers for the sake of effectiveness and have started joint surveys.

Code of conduct

We require our suppliers to commit to Nanso Group's Code of Conduct, which prohibits, for example, the use of harmful chemicals, child labor, forced labor and discrimination. Nanso Group's Code of Conduct was updated in spring 2023 to meet the requirements of our responsibility strategy and our stakeholders.

Approved social responsibility assessments

We require tier 1 suppliers from risk countries to meet our social responsibility criteria. At our discretion, we also accept other social responsibility assessment systems, if their criteria correspond to the criteria of the Amfori BSCI audit. The evaluation systems we accept are, for example:

• amphora BSCI

• Sedex SMETA

• SA 8000

• Fair Labor Association

• Fair Wear Foundation

• WRAP
