positive
partnerships.
Creating clothes for us is a partnership with our suppliers and factories and when you work in partnership there is a mutual trust and respect for everyone involved.
We are dedicated to trying to ensure our work does not impact the environment or the people we work with in a negative way. That is why everyone we work with has signed our partnership policy which outlines our very high standards under the categories of people, planet and product, and is independently audited each year to ensure working conditions and environmental performance meet our high standards. OMNES will never work with anyone that doesn’t treat their employees fairly.
We are environmentally conscious & economically viable.
