HUMAN RIGHTS, BECAUSE OUR PARTNERS AND COLLEAGUES ARE WORTH IT
*Liberty, equality, fraternity… Plus parity and diversity! We give our employees the utmost support to ensure their profiles reflect France today. A career with us isn't a long quiet river: talent development and professional training are essential.
*In terms of partners, we've chosen to work with factories that adhere to our social charter based on the UN agency's International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions as a minimum. Our standards are some of the most demanding in our industry. And we take things even further: independent NGOs also audit these factories for total transparency.

Respect for the planet, because it's about time
*The biggest commitment is to make a product made to last. Otherwise, what's the point? Force shoppers to buy non-stop? Not us.
*The choice of fibres is decisive: over 80% of those used by Comptoir des Cotonniers are natural and renewable (cotton, wool, linen). By 2025, we want 100% of the cotton, wool, cellulose (viscose) and synthetic fibres (polyester) that we use to come from eco-friendly sources.
* A garment has the most impact on the planet at the start of its life cycle (e.g. producing fibres). But did you know that around 40% of its carbon footprint (e.g. jeans) is produced during its "real life" with owners? Why? Because clothes are often washed too often or incorrectly... In other words: perfect is the enemy of good! In 2021 we'll tell you everything you need to make looking after your clothes more eco-friendly.

The shopper community, because we're all connected
*Speaking to every woman from every background... Mothers, daughters, slim women, curvy women... It's part of our identity and always has been!
*How do we prove our love for you? By making clothes of ever-improving quality. Every year our seconds are carefully analyzed by experts – diagnostics + solutions. Because our goal is: zero defects.
*Upcycling is essential. So is solidarity. We've spent years working with the charities Le Relais and Tissons La Solidarité to provide assistance to people who are struggling both socially and economically.

OUR REQUIREMENTS


Our level of quality requirements are one of the highest in the fashion industry. From the choice of fibers to finishes, through weaving, dyeing or assembling the garment, we have selected the best textile factories in Europe, Turkey, China and other Asian countries. These factories must also have demonstrated their excellence in the following areas: respect for human rights through the validation of our group's code of conduct, innovation, quality and the ability to develop responsible materials.
But we go even further. In addition to the fact that our production is controlled by our teams to ensure an exemplary level of quality, we have these partner factories audited by independent agencies one or more times a year and unexpectedly ,to ensure compliance with our code of conduct, thus workers.
In addition, our collaboration with the NGO Fair Labor Association allows us to improve our support processes in the most transparent way possible. The list of our partners is available HERE.
In order to reduce environmental impact , we are trying to implement “short circuits” by using as much as possible local fabrics in areas where we produce, which is the case in China, but also in Italy, Turkey Portugal, France and Spain
