LIVSN Designs, an outdoor apparel brand focused on versatile, durable clothing, announces today the public release of its Code of Conduct for suppliers.
This document, the latest in a series of steps to increase the sustainability of LIVSN’s supply chain, codifies existing and new policies for all LIVSN suppliers. It outlines guidelines and expectations for pertinent practices like employment conditions and wages, health and safety standards, environmental impact, legal compliance, and enforcement.
“The Code of Conduct is a foundational document that has already opened up meaningful conversations with our suppliers,” says Abby Hollis, Director of Product and Sustainability of LIVSN Designs. “We’ve been pleased to see factories take our expectations seriously and trust our partnership enough to be transparent throughout improvement periods. This sort of collaboration across the supply chain is critical to solving the social and environmental crises that plague the apparel industry.”
Often, a code of conduct is a routine box to check in a supplier onboarding process, but as LIVSN is proving, this document can be a real opportunity to have meaningful conversations that will push real progress forward.
“I couldn’t be happier to be putting our values into action in such a concrete way as this Code of Conduct,” says Andrew Gibbs-Dabney, Founder and CEO of LIVSN Designs. “Even at our limited scale, this process has started new conversations at some of our biggest factories. It’s encouraging to see our suppliers’ pride in sharing their efforts and their desire to improve in other areas.”
Corporate responsibility and transparent production practices have long been brand pillars of LIVSN, and this release marks both a formalization and a step forward in its journey toward social and environmental sustainability.
The full details of the Code of Conduct can be found now on LIVSN’s website in its growing sustainability section, which details its unique approach to creating products and systems that maximize function and minimize harm to people and the planet.
