Transparency : Working with our suppliers and our Fashion Designers to select raw materials and products that respect our environment.

Diversity : Equal treatment of all employees and future employees regardless of gender, sexual orientation, skin colour, etc.

Products sourcing:

Designers Boutiques is committed to selling on its e-commerce site products that respect the environment, human rights and working conditions. It therefore undertakes to prohibit the sale on its site of any brand using child labour, having in its products conflict diamonds,resulting from forced labour.

We are working on tracing our products, from the purchase of raw materials to their arrival on our e-commerce site, which allows us to identify the strong points of our practices and the points that we need to improve in order to achieve our objectives, particularly in terms of environmental performance.

What we expect from our suppliers

In line with the approach that Designers Boutiques is putting in place within its company, it asks that its suppliers respect the same principles in terms of respect for the environment, respect for human rights and working conditions.

Prohibition of forced labour

We pay attention to ensuring that human rights and workers' rights are respected, not only by our offices and workshops but also by all our suppliers. Designers Boutiques therefore prohibits any supply of products or raw materials from suppliers who do not respect human rights and fair working conditions. We also prohibit our suppliers from sourcing raw materials and products that violate international conventions on forced labour.

Furthermore,Designers Boutiques is committed to treating all employees equally and fairly and is committed to respecting Human Rights.


Minerals of War

Designers Boutiques also prhibits the supply and use of "War Minerals" in the products we sell on our e-commerce site.

In accordance with the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act article 1502,Designers Boutiques undertakes not to use or purchase any products containing minerals that may finance armed groups committing human rights violations in the Democratic Republic of Congo and bordering countries. Designers Boutiques therefore requests that its suppliers cooperate and procure minerals that do not contribute in any way to the financing of these armed groups.Designers Boutiques will favour collaboration with suppliers with the same ethical values as our company and will reject those who do not respect our principles.

Follow-up of our suppliers

To ensure that our suppliers meet their commitments, we will provide an inspection via a third-party company that will independently inspect suppliers. These audits will be carried out unannounced and at least once a year.

Working conditions

As part of our fight against forced labor and slavery (or human trafficking), an unannounced check will be carried out in each of our offices,factories,or Designers Boutiques establishments(whether in the United States or internationally). This audit covers not only compliance with applicable laws but also a series of quantitative and qualitative indicators such as: security and protection against all forms of threat (including terrorism), harassment and discrimination, etc.

Operations:


Reducing our environmental footprint

Our offices and workshops are in the United States and actively participate in our goal of reducing our environmental footprint in collaboration with all our suppliers. We are working with 3 benchmarks :


The packaging of our products

In the same spirit as the measures put in place to reduce energy consumption, Designers Boutiques implements the necessary measures so that the packaging used for our products and their delivery have the smallest possible environmental impact. Reducing the size of the packaging of our products is one of the priorities to reduce the consumption of packaging (while respecting the product that comes with it of course).

Transport

Designers Boutiques implements several measures to reduce the environmental impact of the delivery process of our products to our customers. For example, we favour the grouped shipment of several products by a single truck over using several trucks carrying only a small quantity of products. Or the use of intermodal transport, with greater use of the train for long-distance transport.

Diversity and inclusion

Designers Boutiques is strongly committed to the fight for diversity, against discrimination and racism. No discrimination in hiring or within our company will be tolerated, measures to ensure equal treatment of all are put in place to ensure the well-being of all our employees.

Our employees : Ensure that our workforce reflects the diversity of society and that each person (regardless of gender, sexuality, origin, etc.) has equal access to positions of responsibility.

Our Clients : Every client must be treated properly, with respect for human dignity.

Marketing/Advertising : Our advertisements will reflect society as accurately as possible (in terms of gender, skin colour, etc.).
