Manufacturing facilities under RICH FIBRE LTD. are engineered based on global bench-marked compliance standards. All our facilities are audited and certified to be compliant with the strictest social and environmental requirements and standards like ACCORD, NIRAPON, BSCI, WRAP, SEDEX, GOTS, BETTER WORK, DISNEY F.A.M.A., OCS, ICS, GTW, RTM, ZDHC, OEKO-TEX, JOIN LIFE, HIGG INDEX, BLUE SIGN, ISO, SAI, GSV and so on.
It is our responsibility to care. What happens is up to alpine as well as the customer. We have to find the safest/compliant and best suppliers possible. Our customers have to be aware that safety and quality must have a slightly higher price. It’s unavoidable.
We strictly maintain the basic core areas that social compliance should include are policies on child labor, health and safety, forced labor, compensation, discrimination, working hours, discipline, management systems, and the right to free association and collective bargaining. In addition to these core areas, local culture and government regulations also become a part of social compliance in the industry.
We are in compliance with every step – each stitch and every piece of garment from manufacturing to delivery.
