Banana Moon Workshop Ethical Policies
Banana Moon Workshop is committed to ensuring that our suppliers maintain an appropriate standard of responsible production. We source our stock from brands that produce clothing ethically, with environmentally conscious practices as well as ensuring that workers are treated fairly and decently.
Below are some supplier and brand specific ethical policy statements.
| AWDis |
 Our hoodies are only produced in factories which conform to WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Apparel Production) and are certified to their strict regulations. WRAP certification of our factories ensures that all garments come from lawful, ethical and humane manufacturing sources. This applies right back through the supply chain to include environmentally sound cotton production. |
| Ashworth and Callaway |
  Our employees are provided with an environment where they will be respected; we are committed to providing an environment that supports honest, integrity, respect, trust and responsibility. |
| Gildan |
|
 Gildan is dedicated to being a socially responsible employer in all of our geographical hubs. We are committed to investing in modern, state-of-the-art facilities and to adhering to progressive hiring and employment practices. As a Participating Company of the Fair Labor Association (FLA) we were the first manufacturer in the wholesale activewear market to join this organisation. We are currently expanding our WRAP certification to all sewing facilities.
Gildan provides its workers with the opportunity to upgrade their skills and education. Classes are offered to employees that want to earn their diplomas and the company also provides extensive on-the-job training. |
| Glenmuir |
 Glenmuir only deals with responsible suppliers that do not employ underaged persons and provide all of their employees with working conditions which are safe and healthy. |
| Henbury, Finden&Hales, Larkwood, Skinni Fit, Skinni Fit Men, Skinni Minni, Towel City |
|
  We fully recognise the importance of the people and the countries where we manufacture, and ask that any manufacturer or supplier associated with us share our commitment to fair and safe working practices.
  All our manufacturing locations are inspected every day by our local representatives to ensure that working conditions are to the very highest standard, and that working hours do not exceed local government criteria, with no child or forced labour.

| Kariban |
|
 It is the policy of Kariban to only purchase goods from suppliers and contractors whose Codes of Practice on Health and Safety are as follows:
- They adhere to AZO legislation, Ocko-Tex standard 100 requirements and Environmental issues.
- They do not use or condone the use of any labour which has been forced or coerced, including prison labour as well as child labour.
- They subscribe to the payment of proper and legal wages and benefits, with working hours that should not exceed the local allowance for overtime.

| Kustom Kit, Gamegear |
|
  At Kustom Kit we have never purchased from a supplier we haven't inspected and approved personally. In fact, we have state-of-the-art overseas offices where the sole focus of our own local staff is to assure total compliance of our strict ethical standards for suppliers and to test fabric and finished garments at source.
We believe that business should be conducted with total respect for people and the environment. We adopt a rigorous selection process for garment manufacturers, ensuring only those that are totally committed to exceeding our high ethical standards become appointed suppliers. |

| PF Concept: Slazenger, Best In Town |
|
  PF Concept maintains supplier standards ensuring that we do not accept goods which have been made under labour conditions which do not satisfy the generally acceptable standards of decency. Our suppliers do not use child or forced labour and must have hiring practices that are not discriminatory by race, national origin, religion, gender, orientation, union membership or political affiliation. Our manufacturers recruit employees based on ability to do the job.
We insist that our suppliers and manufacturers follow all applicable laws and workplace regulations and provide a standard of wages, working hours and benefits appropriate to the local laws. |
| Premier |
|
 Premier aims to conduct business to the highest ethical and environmental standards, seeking to use and utilise manufacturers that do the same. Premier's code of conduct is based on current best practices with regards to employment ethics, health and safety practices and environmental practices; when a customer purchases our goods they know that they have been produced under acceptable conditions. That means that the goods must have been produced:
- Lawfully, through fair and honest dealing
- Without exploiting the people who made them
- In decent working conditions
- Reducing the environmental impact during production and transportation

| Regatta |
|
 The Regatta Group is a privately owned family business that, since 1977, has been developing relationships with suppliers around the world, primarily in Asia.
The Regatta Group of brands - Regatta, Craghoppers, Dare2B and Hawkshead - create good clothing, footwear and accessories for use in the great outdoors. Our love and passion for outdoor living requires us to listen carefully to our customers so we can deliver the very best products, suitable for those who enjoy that kind of lifestyle. This requires us to work very closely with factories all over the world and, in consequence, we make it our business to make things better for the workers who make our clothes. We feel very strongly that workers in factories are treated fairly and are better off through working with us than they were before.
To this end, the Regatta Group Ethical Trading Policy is designed to ensure full compliance with ethical sourcing standards by building proper partnerships with our factories so that we can maintain high quality standards and together work on all ethical issues. |
