Our collaborations
Remei
Overcoming the environmental and social challenges our industry faces requires a constructive and collaborative approach. We are proud to work with leading membership organisations and partners to amplify our efforts in improving working conditions, sourcing sustainable materials responsibly, and supporting the communities where we operate. These collaborations connect us with a wider network and inspire us to keep raising our ambitions.
Founded in 1983, Swiss-based Remei Group works directly with smallholder farmers in India and Tanzania to offer traceable organic cotton as the first step of a sustainable textile value chain from fibre to ready-made textiles. Their mission is to create value for all those along the value chain, while taking maximum care of people and the environment. Through Remei’s local subsidiaries, organic cotton farmers receive a purchase guarantee for their raw materials, are paid an additional premium above the local market price, and benefit from ongoing support and comprehensive extension services on organic cultivation. In 2023, we started sourcing some of our organic cotton from Remei. See page 32 for more information.
Drip by Drip
Our memberships
Drip by Drip is a non-profit organisation founded in January 2018 that focuses on addressing water issues caused by the fashion and textile industry. In Bangladesh, Drip by Drip partners with Agroho, a local organisation that identifies needs, and suggests, implements, and monitors projects on the ground. In 2023, we started a collaboration with Drip by Drip to provide free medical consultations in the villages where workers from our partner factories live. These communities would otherwise have limited access to healthcare facilities. See page 66 for more information.
Fair Wear Foundation
Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) is an independent organisation that works with apparel brands, garment workers and textile industry stakeholders to improve labour conditions in garment factories. As a FWF member, Stanley/Stella ask FWF to organise third-party audits audits to assess human rights risks and monitor remediation progress in factories. Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) are reviewed and remediated in collaboration with factory management until they can be closed. Stanley/Stella has been a member of FWF since 2012. See page 56 for more information.
Removall
Removall is a project developer specialised in designing and operating certified carbon offset projects. In 2024, we started collaborating with Removall as a trusted partner for carbon offset initiatives. We chose Removall due to the nature of its projects, their proximity to areas where our suppliers operate, as well as the integrity of the projects. For example, carbon credits are certified by independent third parties, and are ‘ex-post’, meaning that the credits we purchase represent carbon savings that have already been realised, rather than promised or expected. See page 64 for more information.
Textile Exchange
Textile Exchange is a global non-profit organisation that works closely with its members to drive industry transformation in preferred fibres, integrity and standards, and responsible supply networks. As a member since 2012, Stanley/Stella participates in various Textile Exchange initiatives, including the annual Material Change Index survey and the Sustainable Cotton and Polyester Challenges, which are part of the Materials Benchmark survey. These tools map progress towards more sustainable sourcing at the raw material level. See page 28 for more information.
