They certainly deserve the attention! a company ...a charitable trust! ... that explains why they are really serious and concerned about the workers contracts employed by their manufacturer in China .... as always the big and 'fashionable' players in the fashion industry do seem to be reluctant to be the leader and dead serious in such social issues ... but never mind a charitable trust will certainly guide them on how they should take up their responsibility and go about their business and be less GREADY and more CHARITABLE towards their workers and the PLANET !

And I quote ..: 'We do not rely on international certifications when selecting our manufacturing partners, as these systems are vulnerable to corruption. Untouched World™ has a much more hands-on approach, preferring to work with factories that allow us personal visits, un-chaperoned and unannounced, with access to all of their staff at any time. CEO Peri Drysdale personally visited our first Chinese factory when we began working with this company. Our garments are now made in a second factory as well, and both factories receive annual visits by an Untouched World™ staff member, and more frequent visits throughout the year by our Chinese representative. We insist on copies of employment contract certificates, and receive regular photo updates of the factories.

Employees of our Chinese partners have employment contracts which contain a one-to-three month probationary period, a fair pay rate, sick pay entitlements, and a company-paid insurance cover of up to 80% of the employee’s pay rate. Both parties must agree to the terms of the contract. These employment contracts are directly with the company, not through an agent who would require a fee.'
