At VELTUFF® Real Workwear, we believe great workwear should protect more than just workers on the job. It should also be responsibly manufactured with respect for the people who make it, the communities involved, and the environment around us.
As a family-led workwear brand, we are committed to maintaining high ethical standards across our entire supply chain, from sourcing and manufacturing to quality control and delivery.
We take pride in working closely with our manufacturing partners to ensure our products are made responsibly, ethically, and under safe working conditions.
Our Ethical Manufacturing Standards
Our manufacturing partners are required to follow strict codes of conduct covering:
- Anti-corruption
- Human rights
- Child labour prevention
- Forced labour and modern slavery prevention
- Freedom of association
- Health and safety
- Gender equality
- Equal opportunity
These standards are non-negotiable and help ensure every VELTUFF® product is manufactured responsibly and ethically.
To help maintain these standards, our dedicated team works closely with manufacturing partners through regular communication, planned audits, and unannounced inspections of facilities, processes, and procedures.
These checks help identify and resolve potential issues before they impact product quality or worker welfare.
Why Responsible Manufacturing Matters
Responsible manufacturing helps ensure safer workplaces, fair treatment of workers, higher quality products, and more sustainable long-term production.
At VELTUFF®, we believe workers deserve products made with the same level of care and protection that our garments are designed to provide on the job.
As a global workwear brand, we take responsibility for maintaining safe, ethical, and professionally managed production environments across our supply chain.
Responsible Production & Certifications
Many VELTUFF® products are certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, and our production partners operate under internationally recognised responsible manufacturing standards, including BSCI and Sedex approvals.
These certifications and assessments help ensure our production processes meet recognised international standards for ethical business conduct, worker welfare, and product safety.
Our garments are manufactured by skilled and experienced teams working in professionally managed production facilities designed to support both quality and safety.
To maintain consistent standards, products undergo multiple quality control inspections before shipment and again upon arrival at our distribution centres.
Quality Control & Product Inspection
To maintain consistent quality standards, VELTUFF® products undergo multiple quality control checks throughout production and before shipment.
Garments are inspected:
- During manufacturing
- Before dispatch
- Upon arrival at our distribution centres
This process helps ensure products meet both our quality expectations and safety standards before reaching customers.
What is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100?
Products certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 have been independently tested for harmful substances.
This means every component of the garment, including fabrics, threads, buttons, zips, and trims, has been checked against strict safety criteria to ensure the product is safe to wear.
In many cases, OEKO-TEX® standards go beyond national and international safety requirements.
