FAIR TREATMENT OF PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT

ALBERTO pants are exclusively manufactured by a handful of dependable European and Tunisian partner companies with whom we maintain trustbased relationships. We are of course members of the Foreign Trade Association (FTA) and its Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), the leading European labor rights protection projects, which guarantees, for instance, fair work hours and compensation, workplace safety, social benefits and the protection of the environment. It also undertakes to comply with the UN Global Compact and the OECD Guidelines. All production partners are mandated to work in compliance with the thus defined code of conduct. To ensure adherence to these standards on all levels, we visit and audit our partner operations on location. The laundry facilities, where our pants receive their inimitable look are virtually all DIN ISO 9000 and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified. The operators and laundry facilities are also BSCI audited. We have been foregoing the sand blasting process in the finishing of pants for years. ALBERTO’s cooperation with suppliers and producers is based on partnerships that have endured for years. They are all part of our family and have thus earned our unrestricted attention and support. Besides continuous exchanges, this also includes periodic training, raising sustainability awareness, hardware consulting and also financial support with new acquisitions in this segment.
