🔒 Ethical Sourcing at Shirtshapers
At Shirtshapers, we believe in doing business the right way – with fairness, transparency, and care. Behind every T-shirt, hoodie, or cap we produce is a real person, and we’re committed to ensuring their safety, dignity, and wellbeing.
✅ Our Commitment
We work closely with our trusted partner factory in Vietnam, where we’ve built long-standing relationships based on mutual respect and shared values. Every Shirtshapers product is made under ethical conditions that prioritize:
- Safe and clean working environments
- Fair wages and reasonable working hours
- Respect for human rights and freedom of association
- Zero tolerance for child or forced labor
Our factories complete a self-assessment reviewing:
- Working conditions
- Health and safety practices
- Employment contracts
- Wage and hour compliance
- Anti-discrimination policies
- Grievance mechanisms
- Environmental impact
🙋 Worker Welfare & Voice
We don’t just tick boxes. We actively invest in worker welfare, with support for:
- Open communication channels
- Anonymous feedback surveys
- Support for female workers in leadership and training
- Ongoing skills development and safe workplace education
If any issues are identified, we work with the factory to resolve them – not walk away. We believe in long-term partnerships, not one-off transactions.
👚 Supply Chain Transparency
We are mapping and monitoring our supply chain with increasing visibility into tier-two processes like printing and embroidery. We only work with approved, verified subcontractors who meet our ethical standards. Shirtshapers has a strict no-unauthorized-subcontracting policy to ensure transparency at every stage.
🚫 Modern Slavery & Child Labour
We have a zero-tolerance policy for any form of modern slavery, human trafficking, or child labor. All workers must be above legal working age and employed voluntarily.
💬 Continuous Improvement
We’re a growing business, and we know ethical sourcing is an ongoing journey. That’s why we’re committed to improving each year – through updated audits, closer factory visits, and stronger safeguards for workers. As we grow, so will our ability to raise the bar for responsible manufacturing.
🌿 Looking Ahead
We’re exploring more ways to integrate sustainability and ethical sourcing, from recycled materials to plastic-free packaging and carbon footprint reduction across our supply chain.
