95% of Burrow and Be production uses GOTS certified factories. These factories adhere to strict regulations in processing and manufacturing including; requirements for environmentally friendly practices, such as the prohibition of hazardous chemicals and the efficient use of water and energy. It also includes social criteria, such as fair wages, safe working conditions, and no forced or child labor. Supply Chain traceability means that all entities involved in the production process, including farms, spinning mills, dyeing and printing units, and garment factories, need to be identified and certified. Each step of the supply chain must be documented and verified by an independent certifier.
Where they have’t been able to use GOTS certified factories or reach Minimum quantity ordering for certified organic materials they have done their best to research and ask the questions on social and environmental accountability so that Burrow and Be is contributing to the fashion revolution of fair and healthy work conditions and do not contribute to the degradation of our planet.
