You can read that below. also makes you very happy, so it is all worth it. But you also sometimes come across things that have not Until the year 2000, we have always produced gone well. And even then due diligence is extremely everything in our own workshop in Hilvarenbeek, important. You have audits carried out to see what is according to Dutch laws, with a good social going on in a factory: in the field of discrimination, employment policy. Then we took the step towards freedom of union (also in countries where unions outsourcing our production, first in Europe and then are even banned), security measures, child and in Asia. We noticed that we had little control over forced labour, but also research of bookkeeping to what was happening there, so once we visited our check the payment of wages, and recently we have factories we saw big differences in organization and also started mapping the environmental risks at level of sustainability. We decided in 2010 that we the dyehouses we work with: which chemicals are needed an external independent party to uncover used? How is the water drainage arranged? Is there issues we could work on. We chose the Fair Wear a smart use of energy? And in addition to all this Foundation, a strict club with great transparency. complicated research, we at Schijvens also have to design, produce, supply and recycle company clothing. We also noticed that it was better to channel our production: too many factories require much more And then you find something: a 14-year-old boy works audits and we as a customer become less important on our production. It’s a new Value Chain partner for that supplier, because we give lower orderquantity audited by BSCI, a good report. Nevertheless, Schijvens because our turnover has to be divided over many also wanted to have the factory audited for its own factories. And being less important to a factory also Fair Wear standards, after all it was a new partner, means that they will work less hard to improve the so we have to know for sure. The factory had its own points you would like to see improved. So we decided to workforce in order, wages were paid neatly, factory was lower down our supplier base to a small number of key safe. Only because the factory was growing so much, suppliers: who do we really need? That was the birth of they had built an extension, in which they employed our Value Chain. In 2013 they met eachother for the temporary workers hired from a contractor. And when first time, the ‘producers of Schijvens’, in Hilvarenbeek, during our 150th anniversary. They got to know our customers, for whom they made corporate clothing Prologue every day and they got to know each other. They also learned that they are not competitors but that they complement each other, creating trust to share Being an entrepreneur is not always easy. You want time. For each product, therefore, different workshops things and learn from each other. Every year we meet to keep your customers happy, your staff, the tax are required, which also have various links behind them. somewhere in the world, our Value Chain, which is authorities, your suppliers ask for orders, the bank educational but above all a lot of fun. And there is daily wants to see results and for a number of years Does this jungle of suppliers relieve us of our contact in the app group. And this trust is important, now the NGO’s have also been asking for good responsibility to ensure that it runs smoothly in all because you stick to each other, for better and for worse. due diligence on corporate social responsibility. steps? No, of course not. And then due diligence comes into play. You first have to map all links, make some Because ‘for worse’ is happening during this spring, Due diligence?? It took me a while to pronounce sort of telephone tree: who is behind whom and why? with the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus. And how this word without effort. But what does it actually Then you will assess all those links: how do they do it? does our industry suffer as a result. Not necessarily in mean? Due diligence is doing risk analysis. What are they doing well? What can be done better? corporate clothing, but the fashion industry has come See what happens in your chain, ask further if Do you need them all? And then you determine where to a stop, which means that many orders are cancelled things are not clear and eventually take steps you should start first to improve things, in other words: or postponed at the factories where employees often to change things that do not fit your standards. setting priorities. Because as much as you and the NGOs do not have any reserves in their bank account. A good would like the whole world to look 100% okay today, that policy on managing this disaster means that you are That is not so easy at all. Our chain consists of many seems like an utopia for the time being. We are at the also on the barricades for each other in bad times. And steps, links, which add something to our product: it is beginning of a sustainable transformation. There are so that is a 2-way system. Because if a company here in not only the sewing workshop, but also the supplier many patterns deeply embedded in our industry, there the Netherlands eventually goes bankrupt because it of the raw materials, whether it is recycled clothing is such a huge difference in culture between us and the has to pay all its suppliers immediately, the supplier or new cotton, the knitter or weaver of the fabrics, countries on the other side of the world, government has no benefit of this situation either, because he the dyeing company, the embroidery and printer, interests are involved in low wages, people are involved will never receive orders from a bankrupt customer the supplier of the buttons, the zippers, the stitching who survive instead of live and make choices based again. That is why dialogue is so important: what do thread, the packaging materials and ultimately also on this. And so on. And then I am talking in our own you need and what can I do? And vice versa. We called the transporter. And often it is not only one factory per chain about tens of thousands of people, for which all our partners in the Value Chain and discussed step, because one sewing workshop can make good Schijvens takes responsibility. You will understand that what they need and how Schijvens can help (“thank jackets, but you need another workshop that stitches this is a big responsibility for a company that only has 31 you for caring”). You can read this in our Action Plan. shirts and so on. In addition, you also want to spread people in the office. Does that mean we can’t really do your risk, because if one factory is closed for the Sugar anything? No, not even at all.

6 7 Our story

A family business with over 150 years of experience Schijvens is a Dutch family business that has been designing, manufacturing and distributing corporate clothing for over 150 years. All the departments to supply a high-quality production process are in house, including a design department, quality department, workshop, purchasing department, sales department with office and field staff, distribution centre of 5000 m2 and supporting staff departments. We have been around since 1863 and have always been a producer of corporate clothing. A long history, ample experience. Until 2005, Schijvens was a real production company with 100 seamstresses in Hilvarenbeek. Nowadays, we have a business with a head-to-tail construction and outsource the production to low-wage countries.

Circular T’riffic brand Apart from designing and producing customer- specific corporate clothing, we also own the workwear brand T’riffic, an extensive and permanent collection of trousers, overalls, poloshirts, sweaters, t-shirts, jackets and thermal clothing, which is all deliverable from stock. Since last year our T’riffic brand is converted into a sustainable circular collection. The corporate clothing is produced from 50% recycled cotton / 50% recycled polyester, or 100% recycled polyester and available in various colors.

Production factory in Turkey As of 2016 we invested in our own production factory in Mersin, Turkey. This factory employs approximately fifty people. As a consequence Schijvens can continue switching fast, produce small quantities, perform fast deliveries, produce samples or fitting sets and this factory supplies a pool of information that we can use to steer our other production locations, e.g. wage minutes per product and patterns.

Full-service concept The customers find the power of Schijvens in the full- service concept from designing to production. We have won the Dutch Corporate Fashion Award on several occasions for our appealing designs. We supervise the production at a fixed group of producers, with personal experience in this matter from the history and with an in-house quality control department, which is ISO9001 certified. Collections can be kept on stock for our customers and ship out to the establishments of the client. To this end it disposes of properly equipped software systems, e.g. an EDI portal, customer specific web shops and a budget control system.

Our mission Our mission is to ensure that the employees who wear our clothing feel good in their workwear, so that this radiates to their customers and provides reassurance to the buyers. We realize this by supplying a fashionable design, a great fit and a good quality and by making the products in a sustainable way. 8 9 the 8 elements of Fair Wear’s code of labour practices

ANKARA: Schijvens Corporation Fashion and Gama Iplik Recycling have extended their contract in the presence of Minister Kaag (NL) and Minister Pekcan (TR), in order to raise the recycling of used (corporate) workwear up to a higher ground. The existing trade barriers which slow down the circular economy were raised and extensive attention devoted to female entrepreneurship.

The solution is a circular model The solution to the increasing demand for textiles and run-off of dyes and synthetic materials ending up in the soil is in applying a circular model for the 40% CO closing of the textile chain. Schijvens endeavours 2 to reduce the impact on the environment and to leave a better footprint. This is done by making an informed choice in the use of sustainable materials and substances for its corporate clothing collections. As of 2017 old clothing are collected from our customer of which new garments are made.

14 15 Value Circle

Our first tier suppliers Our long-term partnerships with our producers are highly valued. We cooperate with 14 garment factories, distributed over the countries Turkey, Pakistan, China, Bangladesh, UAE, Morocco, and Portugal. Every country has its own specializations. For instance, in Turkey and Portugal we can produce small quantities with a fast delivery time. In China they work well on technical products, e.g. waterproof all-season jackets and fire- retardant clothing. In Sharjah we work with an excellent costume factory. In Pakistan the specialization can mostly be found in knitted products, such as poloshirts and sweaters. In Bangladesh we work with a wonderful facility for shirts and trousers, and in Morocco we produce knitted sweaters. Most of the production takes place at our own factory in Turkey and in Pakistan.

The Annual supplier meeting Since 150th anniversary of Schijvens in 2013 a supplier meeting has been organized annually where all our partners come together. The last edition took place in The Netherlands and was again a success. During this meeting mutual dialogue is key and we discuss everything openly together with each other, including the points for improvement that come to the fore during audits and matters that factories run into, so they can also learn from each other. It is good to see that our suppliers try to help each other and look forward to this event every year. The suppliers are also assessed on their performances in the course of which an award can be won every year. Last year our Bangladeshi supplier won this award. In addition we visited some of our customers, so our suppliers could see their clothing in action in the stores, and we organized a meet and greet at our office, where suppliers, customers and stakeholders came together, what lead to very nice conversations. We finished this three day event with a nice barbeque and old Dutch games. The next meeting will take place in Morocco, when the situation allows it again to travel, which everyone looks very much forward to.

IMVO Covenant Schijvens joined the IMVO Covenant Sustainable Clothing and Textile from the start, which was signed by Minister Ploumen in 2016. We work together with more than seventy other Dutch textile companies to further improve the sustainability of the sector.

Fair Wear Foundation Fair Wear works towards good working conditions in the clothing industry and is one of our most important affiliates. Our first tier factories are audited by Fair Wear after which we work on improving the labour environment in association with the factories. Because of our performances we are, as a brand, ‘leading’ within Fair Wear, which is the highest category and we obtained a score of 86 points during our last Brand Performance Check. For production countries where Fair Wear is not active, we work with other local organizations, Innovatus in Pakistan and Saxa in the United Arabic Emirates, that all follow the same guidelines as Fair Wear. Furthermore where possible existing audits will be used from other local organisations, such as BSCI and SGS in production countries where Fair Wear is not active, if the quality is good enough, so the number of different audits at suppliers can be limited.

Bangladesh Accord Bangladesh Accord was incorporated in 2013 after the collapse of Rana Plaza in order to monitor and improve the safety of clothing factories in Bangladesh. This also includes our supplier in Dhaka, which is a continuous process. A lot of progress has already been made on safety within the country and also at the production facility that we work with.

Modint Modint is the textile trade organisation in the Netherlands of which we are a member. Modint supplies the EcoTool, amongst other in collaboration with Remo, that we use to calculate the environmental impact of our garments. The entire life cycle of a product is considered (LCA). The LCA calculations include the entire production process and the final environmental score includes water, energy, CO2, chemicals and land use. By entering the material composition of a corporate clothing article into the tool, the tool does not only calculate the environmental impact of that particular article but also compares the article to another, so that a customer can see at a glance what the environmental impact is on the choice that is made. In addition Modint helps us by setting up and monitoring a sufficient chemical policy, which we are implementing this year. Furthermore Modint provides training courses and the due diligence tool, that we are making use of to get good insight in the risks within our supply chain.

30 31 Schijvens risk analysis

We have of course checked the current situation with our partners as a first priority with regard to Covid19. We have made an inventory of how we can help them and we have looked at which health care measures have been taken. We have fulfilled all payment obligations and no orders have been canceled. As long as we can maintain this, we want to focus on continuing our 3 strategic priorities:

1. Calculation and payment of Living Wages

2. Raw materials: working towards a 100% sustainable circular raw material model

3. WECH: improving dyehouses in the field of water, energy and chemicals

Of course, during the year there are always daily priorities in between when there have been audits (eg as in Pakistan), but in general we choose the above 3 priorities that we want to (continue to) work on this year, as you can see in our risk analysis schedule in these themes the highest amount of red flags appear.

In many instances this is not a living wage, which is one of the reasons that employees perform so much overtime, which is often paid at a lower compensation level than prescribed by law and is often not registered. Another risk is related to health and safety conditions. The economic crisis incited employers to save on investments. That is why machines are rarely replaced and they become more dangerous to use. Also because training is not provided and external consultants are not deployed to work on a risk assessment with the factory.

Our factory in Portugal, Ultra Creative, is visited by us, however not audited because Portugal is considered a low-risk country and over the past year we were not able to place any orders. During a visit we always conduct a health and safety check and the situation at the factory including all of these risks are discussed. In addition, the production location is also advised to post Fair Wear’s Worker Information Sheet at the factory and to inform employees of their rights and Fair Wear’s line. The factory is relocated about one and a half years ago, so we scheduled a visit in order to check what the factory looks like and to conduct a health and safety check-list and this was all in order. The biggest risk in Portugal is excessive overtime due to fast deliveries. Our partner indicates that overtime is exceptional and minimal. Furthermore wages reach at least the minimum wage. For our productions we provide at least sufficient production time and always in consultation with the supplier. 70 Portugal Morocco 71 How do we communicate on sustainability?
