When Sustainable Brand Meets a Sustainable Manufacturer

When Sustainable Brand Meets a Sustainable Manufacturer
Ethical sourcing
Since ethical sourcing is a non-negotiable for The Sustainables, it was very important for them that the people making their products are working in safe conditions and for a living wage. That is absolutely true about our workforce. Our entire workforce has:
- An hourly rate that’s at least 20% higher than the national minimum wage in Serbia
- 40 hours workweek
- Paid maternity leave (100% of the salary)
- Paid sick leave (65% of the salary)
- Paid bereavement leave (100% of the salary)
- 20 days of paid vacation
- 12 days of public holidays
- Birthday bonus
- Marriage bonus
- Childbirth bonus
Another really important factor for The Sustainables was the fact that a manufacturer doesn‘t use sub-contractors for any aspect of textile production.
That’s the truth about us as clothing manufacturers – we run the all-under-one-roof operation. From knitting the fabric to delivery. That way, they are able to follow 100% of the production process.
