COP report 2020 | Sustainable Development Goals WE CARE - OUR SIX FOCUS GOALS OUR WORK - NO POVERTY Fair remuneration for workers. Textile production is taking place in countries where poverty can be a challenge. We only work with factories who has a social compliance system ensuring the worker’s salary in due time and according to the legislation and up to the living standard. We require suppliers to sign our Code of Conduct as well as membership of amfori BSCI or Smeta. OUR WORK - GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING Are both important - no matter if we are talking staff in ID® or suppliers in other parts of the world. The best job is carried out by staff being healthy and safe. Through our certificates Oeko-Tex and GOTS together with EU Ecolabel license; we set high requirements to avoid and reduce the use of hazardous substances and chemicals to promote a healthy life for all. It concerns all substances and chemicals getting in contact with people as well as the one being a risk of polluting earth, water or air. OUR WORK - QUALITY EDUCATION Education is knowledge. Knowledge is the tool which enables people to develop and able to create changes. Educations will ensure decent wages, better health and gender equality. Every year we support a local slum school in Dhaka Bangladesh for children aged 6 – 14 years, so they can continue their education year after year. OUR WORK - DECENT WORK & ECONOMIC GROWTH Community, trust and good working conditions describes ID® as a working place. When travelling to our suppliers we promote decent working conditions as well and require factories to have a social compliance system in accordance with ILO conventions and for the production to be carried out in a responsible manner and securing worker’s rights, health and safety. We have long time cooperation with factories ensuring a continuous development as well as innovation to secure financial growth and sustainable manufacturing for both parties. OUR WORK - RESPONSIBLE COMSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION Right from product development we strive to choose the best sustainable raw materials to ensure products with long lifespan and durability. Taking the necessary care to avoid the use of hazardous substances and chemicals during production and ensure none is left in the final products for safety of workers, user and the environment. We put effort in avoiding release of substances to earth, water and air. We focus on reducing use of new materials, and reuse when possible and take care of waste being separated for recycling. We use ecological cotton, recycled polyester as well and paper and carton from sustainable forestry. OUR WORK - PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS The most important partnership is our suppliers.
