SUSTAINABILITY

At Aesapparel, we take pride in being the Denim part, 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:

Aesapparel 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.

Fair labor:

Any company working with Asian manufacturers needs to have a stringent policy in place regarding the fair and safe treatment of workers. We work with amfori, the global business association, to ensure every factory is compliant with the BSCI.

Quality control:

Aesapparel 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.

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.
