What we did before … • During the 90’s
– Ready-to-wear industry leaves Europe > Far East – Obvious that clothing should be made under good
conditions – The campaigns of Clean Clothes Campaign opened
our eyes – Promo Fashion (former name of Bel&Bo) =
discount = higher risk of production in bad conditions via subcontractors

• 1999-2000 – Through membership Kauri (The Shift) :
• Encounter of the first generation of codes of conduct
• Encounter of Fear Wear Foundation (the Netherlands)
– Production still for +/- 100% via subcontractors
– Little knowledge where the garments are produced.

• 2000 – First code of conduct – Based on code of Fear Wear Foundation – To be signed by al our suppliers >5000€ – Engagement also of the production units
• 2004 – Testing the engagement of our subcontractors
• Interrogation by our auditor (confidentially) – Shakes our suppliers awake !!

• 2007 Independent monitoring in the production units of our principal suppliers by Bureau Veritas • Asking the addresses of the PU’s – not easy • Lots of time between asking and receiving the
report • Conclusion => supplier • If necessary: new audit after 6 months • Experience:
• Suppliers easily change the production unit - audit becomes unusable, frustrating
• Administration: lots of work, little positive feed-back
