Transparency within our supply chain is of great importance to us. In order to achieve substantial improvements, insight is needed: we need to know where and how all our products are manufactured. Identifying and improving the supply chain is a prerequisite for exercising due diligence, taking responsibility, and minimizing potential negative social and environmental risks.
To gain more insight into this chain, in 2022 we asked RethinkRebels to conduct a sustainable business scan to identify, understand, and manage challenges, implement more sustainable working methods, set goals for the future, and generate more transparency. The conclusions show that our fabric and clothing manufacturers are 100% traceable and that the supply chain for our raw material processing and production is 60% traceable. We aim to increase this traceability to 100% up to Tier 4 (see image) by the end of 2027.
To ensure that the RPET is truly recycled and made from post-consumer plastic, we work with clothing suppliers who are GRS-certified. This is a very strict certification process with a thorough chain of custody, and from MAIUM we verify the GRS certifications of each production.
Our goal in 2026 is to become GRS certified as a brand as well, to ensure the end-to-end production and supply chain under GRS certification.
75% of our apparel production suppliers are BSCI members to ensure fair, safe and healthy working conditions. The goal is to improve this to 100% by 2024.
From start to finish, we want our products and processes to be fair, transparent and uncomplicated. When it comes to taking responsibility, sharing our brand's journey with our customers is high on the priority list. It is also in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Maium supports responsible consumption and production (Goal 12).
