We believe responsibility for a garment extends beyond how it looks and performs. How and where it is manufactured matters too.
Briz Apparel Group works with selected manufacturing partners and expects those suppliers to operate to appropriate standards relating to workplace practices, employee welfare, manufacturing and quality.
Briz Apparel Group is a Sedex member, and relevant manufacturing partners participate in recognised third-party compliance and quality frameworks that may include Sedex, amfori BSCI and ISO 9001:2015, depending on the individual supplier.

Briz Apparel Group does not tolerate any form of modern slavery in our supply chain. This includes forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, debt bondage and other exploitative practices.
We expect our manufacturing partners to provide fair wages, reasonable working hours, safe and healthy working conditions, lawful employment, freedom of movement and access to rest days and holidays, in line with international labour standards.
We do not knowingly source from suppliers using these practices. We seek to reduce supply-chain risk through supplier due diligence, regular audits, compliance documentation and ongoing monitoring.
