Caring about people
At Stanley/Stella, fair and safe working conditions, well-being in the workplace, and community engagement are at the heart of our operations and organisation. In 2023, we reinforced our efforts to bring about more concrete positive impacts for the workers in our Tier 1 (garment) and Tier 2 (fabric) partner factories and their communities. We reviewed our approach to factory audits so our reports can be used as real management tools and we place more focus on Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) and the resolution of potential issues. At community level, we are involved in several projects that are directly enhancing people’s quality of life. In Bangladesh, we are financing a mobile hospital project that visits villages where the workers of our partner factories live. In Tanzania, we are collaborating with Remei Tanzania on a ‘direct-to-farm’ programme that supports organic cotton farmers through fair remuneration, education and training, and other specific projects. We also continue to strengthen our collaborations with charity organisations close to our Brussels headquarters.
“
Transparent and authentic collaboration with our partners is essential if we are to keep improving conditions across our value chain.”
