Our approach to
Responsible Manufacturing

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.

Responsible Supply-Chain Standards

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.

Our expectations include responsible practices relating to:

Worker health and safety

Lawful employment

Appropriate working conditions

Wages and working hours

Prohibition of forced or involuntary labour

Prohibition of child labour

Responsible workplace management

Appropriate quality-management practices

Our Position on Modern Slavery

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.

Independent Compliance

Independent frameworks provide additional visibility into working and manufacturing practices.

Supports responsible sourcing and supply-chain transparency.

Provides a framework for monitoring and improving social performance within global supply chains.

Responsible business practice also applies to our Australian operation. Briz Sports maintains:

Responsible From Supplier to Customer
