At mikk-line, we conduct an ethical business with respect for human rights and decent labour standards. Based on a clear Code of Conduct, we have built close relationships with our suppliers to continuously safeguard and improve the welfare of everyone involved in our supply chain. 

Our Supply Chain

It is important for us to have traceability on who is involved in the production of our products and where they are made. Mapping our suppliers at alle stages of the supply chain is a heavy, ongoing work that is necessary for us to ensure a responsible and decent supply chain. 

We have the most influence on our cut and sew suppliers, which we have built strong relationships with. They have all committed to our Code of Conduct, which specifies the principles and behaviour that we expect from them, to ensure responsible practices. Through dialogue, self-assessments, and third-party audits, we ensure adherence to our requirements.

All our suppliers have also signed and committed to our policies on:

- Anti-corruption
- Anti-slavery
- Chemical restrictions
- Child labour
