Premium garments, made sustainably
We are The Strong Humans Club which means we want to make premium quality garments in the most ethical and sustainable way we can. That said we are always striving to improve in every aspect of what we do but for now we are very proud of the standards we meet.
From the factories our garments are manufactured in to them arriving through your door we do our very best to ensure the whole process is as planet and people friendly as possible.
Members
Fair Wear Foundations
Every single one of our garments are manufactured in factories that are members of the Fair Wear Foundation. The Fair Wear Foundation is a non-profit organisation that is striving to improve the working conditions in the textile industry. Amongst other standards all members must meet the Code of Labour Practices which include:
- There is no discrimination in employment
- No exploitation of child labour
- Payment of living wage
- Reasonable hours of work
- Safe and healthy working conditions
- Legally binding employment relationship
- That employment is freely chosen
- Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining
Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)
All of our garments except for just two of them are made using organic cotton. Going organic not only reduces the impact that toxic pesticides have on the workers and the soil on which the crops are grown but organic cotton also uses significantly less water during the growing cycle.
Global Recycled Standard
Every bit of polyester that is used in our garments is 100% recycled. We even have a selection of garments that are made entirely of recycled cotton and polyester blends.
The Global Recycled Standard is intended to meet the need of companies looking to verify the recycled content of their products (both finished and intermediate products) and to verify responsible social, environmental, and chemical practices in the production of these products.
Climate
Neutral
Many of our garments are made with 100% organic cotton and with 90% reduced CO2. This has been achieved by a combination of low-impact organic farming, efficiency in manufacturing and transportation as well as the use of renewable energy instead of the fossil fuel-based grid electricity.
