Underoutfit's Commitment to Sustainability: Working with WRAP and BSCI Certified Factories
At Underoutfit, sustainability is more than a buzzword; it's a core principle that guides every aspect of our business. We recognize the importance of responsible manufacturing and are dedicated to ensuring that our products are made in a way that respects both people and the planet. Central to this commitment is our partnership with factories that hold WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) and Amfori BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) certifications. By working with these certified factories, we ensure that our manufacturing processes are ethical, transparent, and environmentally conscious.
*WRAP Certification: Ensuring Ethical and Responsible Production*
WRAP is the world’s largest independent certification program focused on promoting safe, lawful, humane, and ethical manufacturing practices. To achieve WRAP certification, factories must comply with 12 key principles, which include strict adherence to local laws, ensuring fair wages, prohibiting forced labor, providing safe working conditions, and implementing environmentally responsible production methods.
Underoutfit's collaboration with WRAP-certified factories ensures that every garment is made under conditions that respect workers' rights and promote well-being. These factories are regularly audited to guarantee compliance with WRAP’s rigorous standards. This means our customers can trust that their Underoutfit products are created in an environment where workers are treated with dignity, safety protocols are strictly followed, and environmentally sustainable practices are prioritized. For example, factories are encouraged to manage waste responsibly, minimize energy consumption, and limit their overall environmental footprint.
*Amfori BSCI Certification: Upholding Social Responsibility in the Supply Chain
Beyond WRAP certification, Underoutfit also works with factories certified by the Amfori Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI). The Amfori BSCI framework is a globally recognized system designed to enhance social performance within the supply chain. It sets forth strict standards related to labor rights, health and safety, ethical business behavior, and environmental stewardship.
By collaborating with Amfori BSCI-certified factories, Underoutfit ensures that the entire production process aligns with international standards for social responsibility. The certification emphasizes important aspects such as prohibiting child labor, ensuring fair compensation, promoting safe and healthy working conditions, and implementing fair working hours. Additionally, the Amfori BSCI initiative supports environmentally friendly practices, encouraging factories to use resources efficiently, reduce waste, and manage chemicals responsibly.
*Sustainable Production for a Positive Impact*
Working with WRAP and Amfori BSCI-certified factories reflects Underoutfit's commitment to sustainability and ethical manufacturing. This dual certification approach ensures that every piece of shapewear we produce not only meets our high-quality standards but also contributes to a more equitable and environmentally conscious global supply chain.
Underoutfit’s dedication to sourcing from WRAP and Amfori BSCI-certified factories helps us create products that our customers can feel good about wearing. It's our way of ensuring that while you enjoy the comfort and support of our shapewear, you’re also supporting a brand that prioritizes worker rights, fair wages, and sustainable practices. By choosing factories that adhere to these certifications, Underoutfit champions responsible production that respects the rights of workers, minimizes environmental impact, and promotes long-term sustainability in the fashion industry.
*Moving Toward a More Sustainable Future*
Our work with WRAP and Amfori BSCI-certified factories is just one aspect of our ongoing sustainability journey. At Underoutfit, we believe in continuous improvement and remain committed to exploring new ways to enhance our sustainability efforts. By partnering with these certified factories, we are not only upholding the highest standards in manufacturing but also setting a positive example in the fashion industry.
Together, with the support of our customers, we are building a future where ethical production and environmental care are at the heart of every product we create. Through transparency, responsibility, and a focus on sustainable practices, Underoutfit is committed to making a positive impact on the world, one garment at a time.
