Fair Wear Foundation’s Annual conference is an event organized annually for members and stakeholders. A Best Practice Award will also be presented during this event. This Award recognizes innovative projects aimed at improving working conditions in factories.
The latest HEMA concept was opened in Tilburg on September 21. What we as Schijvens Corporate Fashion are extremely proud of is that we are part of this new concept.
We, as a company, have become LEADER within Fair Wear with an impressive score of 75Â points. Being a leader within the Fair Wear Foundation means we form part of the highest achievable category and are therefore realising outstanding results.
The annual Schijvens supplier meeting, which we have introduced since 2013, was again a success this year! Our producers, cloth manufacturers and yarn suppliers came to our factory in Turkey this year from Pakistan, China, Bangladesh, India and Morocco.
Transparency is the future and necessary in the clothing sector. Last July 4th it was a year ago that the textile covenant was concluded, to which 40% of the Dutch textile industry has already joined!
Schijvens went looking for a solution to re-use worn textiles and ‘waste’. It turned out that plastic from plastic bottles with recycled textile together makes the ideal raw material for a new clothing fabric. This 100% recycled and sustainable clothing fabric is used to produce T-shirts and sweat jackets for personnel in the Stayokay hotel chain.
