Sustainability
At Brendisol, we take pride in being the pioneer Latin American member of the Foreign Trade Association (FTA), and we are fully committed to championing sustainability, addressing climate change concerns, and ensuring fair working conditions within our operations.
A focus on business integrity
We built our supply chain management platform around honest and open business practices. From start to finish, every aspect of our fashion supply chain is based on adherence to ethical processes and principles. With a commitment to honesty, transparency, and accountability, we’ve created a service that retailers can rely on with confidence, knowing that they can trust it.
Here are some of the areas that are important to us when it comes to doing business with integrity:
Ethical sourcing:
All of our products are sourced from suppliers who adhere to ethical labor practices and respect human rights.
Transparency:
Brendisol is always truthful about where it sources its products and the materials used to complete the clothing manufacturing process. Our fashion supply chain processes will always be visible and traceable.
Quality control:
Brendisol works to ensure all of its accessory and clothing manufacturers are providing high-quality goods. Our testing and quality control measures ensure we’re only passing on products that satisfy the final consumer.
Environmental responsibility:
We promote sustainable practices to reduce our environmental impact. With global warming becoming an ever-bigger concern for small and large businesses throughout the globe, we keep this as a top priority.
Anti-corruption and bribery:
We have strict policies to ensure no corruption or bribery occurs at any point, from manufacture to delivery. Our due diligence processes ensure all of our Asian factories are working to the same standards.
Brendisol also adheres to:
Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI)
The BSCI was established by amfori in 2003 to help companies hit targets of social compliance within their supply chains. Its overall aim is to improve working conditions for the people producing goods.
The BSCI covers 13 performance areas through its social audit program:
1 Social management system and cascade effect
2 Workers involvement and protection
3 The rights of freedom of association and collective bargaining
4 No discrimination
5 Fair remuneration
6 Decent working hours
7 Occupational health and safety
8 No child labor
9 Special protection for young workers
10 No precarious employment
11 No bonded labor
12 Protection of the environment
13 Ethical business behavior
As active members
of the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), we wholeheartedly support its mission and principles. To further promote responsible practices, we have established our own dedicated Social Responsibility Department. This department works closely with our partner factories, providing guidance and assistance in obtaining the esteemed BSCI certificate. We firmly believe that by fostering a culture of social responsibility, we can make a positive impact on the lives of workers and contribute to a more sustainable future.
To ensure adherence to our high standards,
Brendisol undertakes regular and thorough audits in our associated factories. These audits are conducted by specialized companies with expertise in assessing social and environmental compliance. Through these assessments, we are able to identify areas for improvement and collaborate with our factories to implement necessary changes. By continuously monitoring and evaluating our practices, we strive to create safe and healthy working conditions, promote fair labor practices, and minimize our environmental footprint.
Our enduring commitment to sustainability,
climate change mitigation, and ethical work conditions is deeply rooted in our values. We recognize the urgent need to address these global challenges and remain dedicated to playing our part in creating a more sustainable and equitable world. Together with our valued partners and stakeholders, we will continue to innovate and advocate for responsible practices throughout our supply chain, ensuring a brighter future for generations to come.
