Working conditions

Success begins with the people with whom you work. The knowledge and efforts of our people ensure we can provide products with which thousands of people can work safely and comfortably.

This is why the well-being of our own employees as well as the people in our production chain are very important to us. We are continuously in dialogue with our employees, suppliers and partners to ensure working conditions are good and that they stay good.

Our parent organisation Bunzl regularly performs a risk assessment where the procurement countries of subsidiaries are assessed for social risks such as modern slavery and bribery risks. On the basis of this assessment, procurement countries are ranked by risk level. Suppliers located in a country with a high-risk level may be audited. None of Allshoes suppliers were located in a high-risk country in 2021.

Our supplier base consists of nine footwear manufacturers spread among seven countries. Eight of those are located in Europe. We prefer to source our products as locally as possible. This offers advantages for the environment since short transport distances partially prevent CO2 emissions. There are also fewer social risks because these suppliers must meet the strict European legislation and regulations related to safety and working conditions.

We have established a strong relationship with many of our suppliers. The good mutual relationship means that we together decide on the working method within the factories.
