We build our products on an ethical foundation that honors human rights through every step of the process. This begins with where we source our cotton. To ensure that our supply chain is free of cotton produced under forced-labor conditions in China's Xinjiang Region, we will be continuously conducting isotope testing on our existing inventory across our distribution network to confirm its ethical origins. Not only is this the right thing to do, but it ensures that you, our customers, can confidently stand behind the products you sell, confidently leading with your values.
At BELLA+CANVAS, responsibility means conducting business in a socially responsible and ethical manner, supporting human rights, and engaging, respecting and supporting the communities and cultures with which we work. As long-time supporters of ethical working conditions, our workplace standards exceed those required by both the Fair Labor Association (FLA) and Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP).
This Workplace Code of Conduct specifies basic minimum policies, procedures, and working conditions that our owned operations and our suppliers must meet in order to do business with us.

https://wrapcompliance.org/Our Commitment to Responsible Recruitment
Labor abuse continues to exist today. Some facilities have unsafe working conditions and extended hours, many even have inadequate pay scales. Inhumane practices within the fashion industry still exist and need to be stopped. We are committed to the fair treatment of workers throughout our entire supply chain.
In 2020, BELLA+CANVAS signed the American Apparel & Footwear Association and the Fair Labor Association's Commitment to Responsible Recruitment to address these issues.
We are working with our global supply chain partners to create conditions so that:
We certify that none of our cotton is sourced from China's Xinjiang Region, where there is evidence of the use of prison labor and situations of forced labor.
