As a retailer selling Lingerie, Swimwear & Nightwear, our products are made all over the world and often in countries and communities in the developing world. Each country is different, and we respect the different cultural perspectives and laws whilst also ensuring that collectively all factories manufacturing for Bravissimo are working to a set of minimum acceptable standards, which should be exceeded where possible.

Ensuring our suppliers comply with the code

Bravissimo requires all suppliers to each make an assurance and commitment to us that they and their factories are working to the Ethical Trading Initiatives Base Code. Additionally, we receive annually accredited social and ethical audits (SEDEX, BSCi etc) for all factories who manufacture Bravissimo products, as well as supporting this ourselves with regular factory visits. We also agree with our suppliers before trading with them that we reserve the right to visit and audit any workplace involved in producing our products at any time.

We make it clear to everyone we work with that compliance with the ETI Base Code is an essential part of working with Bravissimo. We expect any issues to be dealt with quickly and effectively and if we are not completely satisfied with a supplier or factories attitude or response, working in a supportive partnership with them to put corrective action plans in place and following up on these regularly. However, if we do not see the improvements required, we may ultimately cease trading with them.
