Ethical Sourcing

At Her Genie, we're dedicated to ensuring that every garment reflects our core values of integrity, respect, and sustainability. We believe that fashion should not only make you look good but also feel good about its origins.

Our Ethical Sourcing Principles:

  • Supplier Relationships:
    We cultivate strong, long-term partnerships with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical practices. This ensures that every piece in our collection is produced with care and responsibility.

  • Factory Audits:
    To maintain high standards, we require all our production factories to register with the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (SEDEX), a leading ethical trade organization. Through independent audits, we assess:

    • Employment practices
    • Prevention of modern slavery and child labor
    • Freedom of association
    • Fair wages and working hours
    • Equality, respect, and dignity
    • Health and safety standards
    • Environmental impact

    These audits involve on-site visits, policy reviews, and worker interviews to ensure compliance and identify areas for improvement.

  • Continuous Improvement:
    We don't just audit; we collaborate with our factories to enhance worker welfare. This includes providing access to training and support, addressing issues related to working hours and wages, and ensuring a safe and respectful workplace.

  • Worker Empowerment:
    We value the voices of those who make our clothes. Through anonymous surveys and direct communication channels, we gather feedback to continually improve working conditions and ensure that workers feel heard and respected.

  • Women's Empowerment:
    Recognizing the vital role of women in our supply chain, we partner with programs like HERproject to provide health education and support, aiming to improve self-esteem and workplace policies that benefit female workers.

  • Supply Chain Transparency:
    We've mapped and audited 100% of our tier-one suppliers—the factories that manufacture our products. For transparency, we publish our factory list and ensure that any subcontracting is approved and monitored to uphold our ethical standards.

  • Addressing Modern Slavery:
    We are committed to ensuring that everyone who works with Her Genie is safe from exploitation. We have a zero-tolerance policy for forced or child labor and take immediate action if any such issues are identified.

  • Commitment to Living Wages:
    We believe every person has the right to a standard of living that adequately supports them and their families. We are committed to promoting conditions within our supply chain that make it possible for every worker to receive a living wage.

By adhering to these principles, Her Genie ensures that our fashion is not only stylish but also ethically produced, respecting both people and the planet.
