Schijvens Corporate Fashion is a partner of the international education project on Integrated reporting of Avans University of Applied Sciences. To this end, they approached a number of SMEs that have embedded sustainability in their strategy to tell us something about this. Schijvens cannot be missed in this series.
Schijvens Corporate Fashion once again retains its status as Leader within the Fair Wear Foundation! 100% of our factories are being monitored and this year our score has increased to 97 points.
Shirley Schijvens is the 5th generation of the family owned business Schijvens Corporate Fashion in Hilvarenbeek. Her ambition is to have a fully circular production by the end of 2022. She has therefore been involved in the sustainable development of Schijvens for a number of years. Employees, chain partners and customers; they do it all together. This is even a bit “addictive” for her. She clearly explains in podcast episode 3 of ‘Elise in MVO-land’ what this way of working yields and costs her.
After two years, a virtual meeting and countless e-mails and telephone conversations, the time had finally come last week, our annual Supplier meeting. This took place in Istanbul this year and it was so nice to see everyone again after such a long time!
We knew that if we really want to promote sustainability and drive positive change, we can’t just print our logo on any green t-shirt and call it a day. Instead, we partnered up with Schijvens Corporate Fashion who produce circular fashion made from recycled materials.
Schijvens Corporate Fashion has been committed to creating good working conditions in the factories where our customers’ clothing is produced for many years. We entered into a collaboration with the Fair Wear Foundation in 2010 and have been fighting for fair working conditions in the clothing industry together ever since that time.
Schijvens has been a member of the Fair Wear Foundation since 2010 and is assessed annually on its efforts and performance with regard to social working conditions in the clothing factories with which Schijvens works. Yesss, once again Schijvens has retained its status as leader brand within the Fair Wear Foundation!!
Schijvens is annually assessed by the Fair Wear Foundation on its performance with regard to social working conditions in the clothing factories with which Schijvens works. This year, Schijvens once again achieved a score of no less than 86 points, which we are very proud of!
Last week a camera crew visited the Schijvens office. This camera crew came to record a video commissioned by Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Minister Kaag plays an important role in this video.
Schijvens has signed a Transparency Pledge with 7 other companies that participate in the Agreement on Sustainable Garments and Textile. In this we promise to be transparent about our production by publishing a list showing where we produce our clothing, what type of clothing we produce there and how many people work there.
