PROVING ETHICAL ORGINS OF OUR COTTON WITH ISOTOPE TESTING

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. 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. See sample test results here.

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).

Fair Labor Accreditation is a process which verifies that our company has systems in place to improve conditions for manufacturing workers in our global supply chain, based on International Labor Organization (ILO) standards. Companies that participate in the FLA commit to implementing the FLA's Workplace Code of Conduct within their supply chains.

All of the factories in our supply chain are WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) certified. WRAP is a globally recognized, independent 3rd party certifying body whose mission is to promote ethical, humane and lawful working conditions.

Human Rights Policy

We believe that businesses have a responsibility to respect and promote human rights. We strive to uphold the dignity and rights of our employees and prevent human rights violations in our business operations and supply chains. Human Rights Policy

Statement on Prevention of Modern Slavery

We are dedicated to ensuring that the way we run our business prevents and deters any form of modern slavery and human trafficking from occurring anywhere in our business and supply chains. We are also working with our suppliers to ensure that they uphold the principles in this statement. Statement on Prevention of Modern Slavery

MONITORING SOCIAL COMPLIANCE

We conduct regular audits, conducted by BELLA+CANVAS staff, mandated third parties, or auditors from organizations of which we are members, at all factories we own or do business with. Audits result in a color-coded ratings system which tracks and identifies areas of improvement.

We recognize that noncompliance with our Workplace Code of Conduct may occur, and we commit to working with our business partners to resolve challenging issues. However, if we find that a supplier is unwilling to remediate noncompliance or if a Zero Tolerance violation occurs, we reserve the right to terminate our business relationship.

We seek open dialog that enables our suppliers to alert us should some of our business practices have a negative impact on working conditions at the factory level and encourage them to contact us at any time if there are any barriers to upholding our Workplace Code of Conduct.

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:

  • No workers pay for their job
  • Workers receive a timely refund of fees and costs paid to obtain or maintain their job;
  • Workers retain control of their travel documents and have full freedom of movement; and
  • All workers are informed, in a language they understand, of the basic terms of their employment before leaving their country of origin

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.
