Our Ethics
Our Ethical Practices
At ADDICTED ORIGINAL, we are committed to ethical fair trade practices to prevent exploitation of workers or natural resourcesin the manufacturing of clothing.
We personally believe that happy workers connect to better made clothes as workers are more motivated to do a good job if they work with good employment practices and in a safe environment.
Factories & Working Conditions
Our factories are all personally audited by our audit team on the ground and we do not employ workers under 16 years of age and provide at least minimum living wages as the basic pay on a timely basis.
We do not forcelabour practices, which means that no one is forced to work overtime against their wishes and if they do work overtime, there is an extra overtime pay allowance.
The manufacturing facilities are equipped with proper lighting & sanitation facilities and the working conditions and equipment are safe as possible to prevent work-related injuries. Some example are that there no exposed electrical wiring / sockets, there is enough space between workstations, safety equipment like steel-mesh and gloves and facemask are available for use.
