supply chain
A supply chain includes all the people and manufacturers, involved in the making of a product. Each garment we sell has been through many hands, in different parts of the world. Alémais has built strong long term partnerships, most partners have been working with us since the brands inception.
Supply Chain
Impact Snapshot
Supply chains are known for their complexity and depending on the depth of cross-border supply chains, they can become very opaque, particularly across Tier 4 (feedstock production and primary processing), Tier 3 (yarn production), and Tier 2 (fabric production, making).
Today, 59% of our Tier 2 and 3 supply chain is traceable, which means over half of our products can be tracked from fibre to garment.
This is a significant achievement that we are incredibly proud of, as many in the industry are yet to focus on Tier 2, 3, or 4.
100% of all Tier 1 (Product & Garment Production) is traced.
59% of all Tier 2 (Fabric Production) is traced.
59% of all Tier 3 (Yarn Production) is traced.
Social Impact
At the start of 2023, we formally developed and distributed our Ethical Sourcing Agreement to all our garment manufacturers. This policy includes our Code of Conduct, which is based on the Ethical Trading Initiative’s labour code, as well as basic environmental best practice.
By the end of 2023, 100% of our suppliers were audited using SMETA, BSCI, or Fairtrade. Our Fairtrade suppliers are also SMETA audited.
