Through the use of Industry Recognised Audits, we are proactively monitoring and testing, thus ensuring that all our factories adhere to an acceptable ethical industry standard based on BSCI or SMETA or Equivalent Standard Bodies (like SA8000, WRAP, ICTI, FLA) which ensure that acceptable standards have been established and are being maintained in the following categories:
Legal Compliance
Freedom of Association and the Right to Collective Bargaining
Prohibition of Discrimination
Compensation
Working Hours
Workplace Health and Safety
Prohibition of Child Labour
Prohibition of Forced and compulsory Labour and Disciplinary Measures
Environment and Safety Issues and
Management Systems
LSAA only uses compliant responsible supply chains for all of its Licensed and Trademarked Global and Local products. LSAA maintains a listing of all currently used compliant factories. LSAA may from time to time also employ auditing bodies to conduct its own independent testing at its discretion.
LSAA ensures that compliance to BSCI/SMETA/EQUIVALENT will be maintained for all factories used by LSAA, such that there is ongoing overall compliance at all facilities used for production.
We are not limited to the production but are also aware that sourcing of production materials must also be ethically sound. So in addition to the above standards and compliance we also openly Certify that none of our compliant production facilities use Uzbekistan Cotton as a part of our materials sourcing.
We reserve the right to amend the above policy with time to ensure that our products continue to be sourced and produced in a manner that is compliant with International Sourcing Standards.
