DK Company does not own any factories, but we put a great deal of work into ensuring that the factories we collaborate with follow our requirements concerning
environmental issues and working conditions.
We are members of amfori BSCI, Business Social Compliance Initiative. Effectively, it’s a Code of Conduct that all the factories we collaborate with must sign.
Amfori BSCI audits are conducted at the factories on behalf of the amfori BSCI members.

Factory audits
Our suppliers are audited based on a DK Company audit which is built around a set of stairs, where each step is an audit with a specific subject.TRACEABILITY
We want to make a real difference in our industry therefore it is important that we know the route our products are travelling from fibre to shop. Now, we have mapped our supply chain to factory level (TIER 1)– i.e. where they produce the garment. It is our goal to get a more transparent supply chain and we aim map our tier 2 suppliers by 2020.
EDUCATION AND TRAINING
We believe in dialogue, training and monitoring rather than excluding factories if the factory at first hand is not compliant to our standards.
We seek to create a collaboration with our suppliers, to ensure they get the necessary help to be a safe working place.
That is why education and training of our suppliers is an essential focus point in our sustainability work.
We arrange seminars for our suppliers with training of our Code of Conduct, chemical restrictions and sustainability in materials.
Furthermore, we train our colleagues in Denmark and in our sourcing office, as we all have a very important part to play in our journey towards a more sustainable industry.
