With our Charlie + Mary brand we are part of the Clean&Unique platform. This is a platform for young upcoming designers in fair and eco friendly fashion. Clean&Unique is part of the Fair Wear Foundation and this organization helps us to audit and monitor the working conditions in our factories. The Fair Wear Foundation works with a multilevel verification method. Each year the Clean&Unique members will individually be asked how we are doing and what progress we are making. Then there is the audit where the factory is visited by a local auditing team which is monitored by the Fair Wear Foundation. The focus is on interviewing the workers, safety and health inspection and document inspection. The most important part coming out of the audit is the corrective action plan. With this plan we can help the factories to improve the working conditions in their factories. It is clearly very important that we monitor if necessary steps are being taken by the factory management and if progress is being made. The Fair Wear Foundation works with local complaints centers where workers can go with their complaints. Also an info sheet in the local language has to be put up in the factories explaining the workers rights. As a Clean&Unique member we work together with our factory towards solutions and focus on a long term relationship with them.
