PRODUCE DIFFERENTLY
FAVOURING SECURE AND INTEGRATED PRODUCTION
COMMITMENT N°3 - SOCIAL AND WORKING CONDITIONS
Quality controls, social audits, a code of ethics and support for suppliers are the driving forces of responsible production.
All CEPOVETT garment sites comply with the principles of the Global Compact, including employee working conditions, child labour laws, environmental protection and the fight against corruption. CEPOVETT consults with its stakeholders within the scope of carrying out all the necessary risk assessment checks for all of its plants. CSR performance is a contributing factor in the evaluation of our suppliers.
Post-Covid Euromed short supply chains
The pandemic caused a host of health, economic and social difficulties.
In this post-Covid period, we are becoming increasingly aware of the pitfalls of globalization and the limits of long-distance sourcing and procurement. The global supply chain was severely disrupted as Chinese ports came to a standstill and maritime freight prices soared (container prices increased sevenfold over a year). The issue of relocating production is more prevalent in the textile industry than anywhere else as it is essential to manufacture products as close as possible to consumers, in Europe and in the Maghreb. Favouring European weavers is virtuous for the carbon footprint as well as for the economy. CEPOVETT, committed to this course of action for years now, has been bolstered in its choice to rely on local sourcing. As such, the Group reviewed its sourcing by striking a balance between longdistance manufacturing and Euromed short supply chains, optimizing its production costs, its manufacturing leadtimes and its carbon footprint.
