"EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR ACTIONS

At City Chic Collective, we are committed to seeking to establish a transparent supply chain where we are proactive in our attempt to find and prevent modern slavery and we seek to partner with factories that are aligned with this goal. We recognise we are, however, removed and several layers away from knowing who the workers are in deeper tiers of the supply chain, which we consider at higher risk for modern slavery.

Before we approve any factory for production, we conduct due diligence on the factory to review current compliance and ethical standards in place. This includes but is not limited to:

+ Assessing a valid social audit already in place

+ Reviewing any certifications with accredited bodies

+ Communicating and seeking written commitment to our vendor code of conduct

+ Building a road map with the factory to embedding all our ethical trade policies"

In addition to developing strong communication channels, due diligence processes and remediation plans when we find non-conformances with our policies and procedures, as part of our plan to increase our impact and improve our effectiveness, we continue to review potential external stakeholder relationships (such as partnering with NGO’s, civil society or peers) so that we can collaborate to try to make a greater impact than if we were to work alone.
