We Talk the Talk <\/strong><\/h3>

And YES<\/strong><\/h3>

We Walk the Walk<\/strong><\/h3>

I don\u2019t believe you can deliver a truly great product without a supply chain that lives up to that standard. For me, that means going right back to the source \u2014 looking after the people and the places where things are grown and made.<\/p>

That\u2019s why I chose to partner with Teemill: they don\u2019t just meet industry\u2011leading certification programmes \u2014 they surpass them. Going beyond the certificates<\/p>

Together we voluntarily contribute to a living wage top\u2011up for supply chain workers. This is verified at every level: by their own compliance team, independently by Social Accountability International at payslip level, and in person by Greenpeace inspectors.<\/p>

Inerestingly.....Greenpeace audited their supply chain \u2014 and built their Global Textile Procurement Standard around it, as the model for how clothing manufacturing should be done:\ud83d\udd17 https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-international-stateless\/2021\/08\/deb9878c-global-textile-procurement-standard.pdf<\/a><\/p>

Together we audit every supplier in person, validating and layering independent third\u2011party audits to ensure standards aren\u2019t just met \u2014 they\u2019re sustained.<\/p>

1) GOTS - Global Organic Textile Standard<\/strong><\/p>

The GOTS is recognised as the world\u2019s leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibres. It defines high level environmental criteria along the entire organic textile supply chain and it requires compliance with social and environmental criteria.<\/p>

https:\/\/www.global-standard.org\/the-standard.html<\/a><\/p>

2) OEKO-TEX - Standard 100 (Annex 4 & 6)<\/strong><\/p>

The OEKO-TEX standard 100 is a worldwide independent testing and certification system for textile manufacturing. Standard 100 tests raw materials, semi-finished and end products at all stages of processing.<\/p>

3) OEKO-TEX DETOX TO ZERO Compliant<\/strong><\/p>

Teemill has partnered with Greenpeace and OEKO-TEX to be compliant with The Greenpeace Textile Procurement Standard. This means that there is no discharge of hazardous chemicals, resulting from the Detox campaign. We use the best third party tools and standards that are now available for textiles manufacturing facilities to address hazardous chemicals and ensure full supply chain transparency. Teemill is the first dedicated printer to implement Greenpeace\u2019s Standard. Using renewable energy, organic material, and avoiding hazardous chemicals in the print and dye stage, which is verified by third party auditors. Teemill\u2019s innovation by designing out waste, and using it as a resource to make new products, demonstrates what fashion detox looks like. It also helps raise funds and awareness for Greenpeace to continue to campaign for a toxic free future.<\/p>

4) SA8000 - Social Accountability International<\/strong><\/p>

SA8000 is the leading social certification standard for factories and organisations across the globe. SA8000 is based on the principles of international human rights. It measures the performance of companies in eight areas important to social accountability in the workplace: child labour, forced labour, health and safety, free association and collective bargaining, discrimination, disciplinary practices, working hours and compensation.<\/p>

5) Fairtrade FLOCERT<\/strong><\/p>

FLOCERT focuses on creating confidence throughout supply chains by ensuring that supply chains meet the social, environmental and economic standards set by Fairtrade International.<\/p>

5) WRAP Platinum - Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production<\/strong><\/p>

WRAP is the world\u2019s largest independent certification program mainly focused on the apparel, footwear and sewn products sectors. Becoming a WRAP certified facility involves a collaborative approach to social compliance certification.<\/p>

6) GRS - Global Recycling Standard<\/strong><\/p>

The GRS is an international, voluntary, full product standard that sets requirements for third-party certification of recycled content, chain of custody, social and environmental practices and chemical restrictions. The GRS is intended to meet the needs of companies looking to verify the recycled content of their products and to verify responsible social, environmental and chemical practices within production.<\/p>

7) IGBC Green factory (Platinum)<\/strong><\/p>

The Indian green building council green factory program recognises the best in class building strategies and practices. IGBC green factory buildings is the first rating programme developed in India, exclusively for the industrial sector that is to ensure that an existing or upcoming project incorporates the finest green building practices that would ensure sustainable enhanced operation and processes.<\/p>

\u00a08) Modern slavery policy - This is agreed in all supplier contracts.<\/strong><\/p>

Teemill Tech Limited Supports the United Nations\u2019 Declaration of Human Rights and applies its articles to all aspects of its working environment. On occasions where domestic or EU law continues or furthers rules in the articles of the UN Declaration of Human Rights, Teemill Tech Limited will comply By the EU Law.<\/p>

Thats a lot to take in<\/strong><\/p>

so lets summarise:<\/p>

A truly great proTduct depends on a supply chain that lives up to its promise, which means going right back to source to care for the people and places where things are grown and made. Teemill doesn\u2019t just meet industry\u2011leading certifications \u2014 they surpass them, funding living wage top\u2011ups verified by their compliance team, independently by Social Accountability International, and in person by Greenpeace inspectors.<\/p>

Greenpeace audited their supply chain and built its Global Textile Procurement Standard<\/strong> around our model.<\/p>

Together my partners and I audit every supplier in person \u2014 validating and layering independent third\u2011party audits to ensure standards aren\u2019t just met, but sustained.<\/p>
