Final sourcing strategy

Conclusion Our final sourcing strategy uses Pakistan as our first choice for country and supplier. Pakistan is known for its denim and trouser production, and has highly skilled workers. According to our calculations, Pakistan ranked highest when it came to having cost efficiency, aligning with our sourcing guidelines, and having minimal risk.

Our chosen supplier in Pakistan, Artistic Garment Industries, is the premium supplier of denim and fabrics in the world.

Artistic Garments specializes in trousers and denim production, and have a heritage in the textile industry.

Additionally, they have numerous sustainability initiatives and you can download their CSR policies from their website. They also provide updates on technological developments and employee working conditions, so they are very transparent.

Our chosen supplier aligns with our sourcing guidelines in that they treat and pay their employees fairly, have sustainable initiatives, and don’t use any harsh chemicals or dangerous techniques during production. Finally, and most importantly, it is the most cost effective option while still meeting our sourcing guidelines. China and Bangladesh were cheaper, but did not meet our quality standards and CSR guidelines.

Thanks!
