CHARGEURS PCC AUDIT PROGRAMME

We at the Chargeurs Group are committed to applying, promoting, and supporting the fundamental corporate social responsibility principles across all our business activities.

To make sure that we are practicing what we preach, we are in the process of ensuring all tiers of our global Chargeurs PCC supply chain have annual, independent, semi or unannounced SMETA audits for assessment of the social and environmental standards at each site.

Following these assessments, we take each facility through a journey of continuous improvement to make them safer and a better place to work.


ON-SITE FACTORY VISITS

All our suppliers have committed to upholding our values by being signatories of the Chargeurs Sustainable Purchasing Charter. This sets out our expectations on business practices. Our global teams make frequent factory visits to ensure these values are being upheld.


UN GLOBAL COMPACT

As a signatory of the UN Global Compact, we are constantly striving to be a responsible and sustainable business. We have adopted the ten principles of the UN Global Compact; Human Rights, Labour, Environment and Anti- Corruption into everything we do, from process to product.

THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
The UNGC drives businesses towards supporting the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030

GLOBAL FACTORY COMMITTEE

We support our owned factories in to become more sustainable. The CSR team holds regular meetings in which ideas and innovations are shared and best practice is implemented.

The Higg Index

All Chargeurs PCC facilities complete an annual Higg Facility Environmental Module. This module enables us to review our water and energy usage, chemical, wastewater and waste management systems to identify any risks or improvements we can make in our production.

ANTI – CORRUPTION

As part of the Chargeurs Code of Conduct, Chargeurs PCC strives to carry out its operations ethically and transparently and to comply with all international laws with regards to bribery and corruption. This applies to all our suppliers and subcontractors.

There is a confidential whistleblowing procedure in place to report any violations to this.

WeForest Initiative

As part of the fashion Industry, Chargeurs PCC recognizes the impact of our industry on the planet. Therefore, we have partnered with WeForest, a reforestation initiative promoting healthy forest landscapes and the removal of excess of carbon dioxide. The WeForest initiative allows us to offset our global travel footprint and add to the global cooling.

Our project restores native forest on the edges of the Tietê river, with more than 80 different tree species protecting this vital water body.

During 2023 and 2024 planting campaigns, our support in Tietê Forests, Brazil, has also contributed to:

Restoring over 150 ha of land, including 138 ha of native forest along the Tietê river, and planting 240 000 tree seedlings representing over 80 tree species.

Not only that, but agroforestry is being promoted here as a way for smallholder farmers to increase their crop yields while natural resources such as soil and water are improved by the presence of the trees, which also sequester carbon as they grow.

In 2023, our agroforestry farmers here enjoyed their first harvests!
