ETHICAL STATEMENT
At Kustom Kit we have never purchased from a supplier we haven’t inspected and approved personally. In fact, we have state-of-the-art overseas offices where the sole focus of our own local staff is to assure total compliance of our strict ethical standards for suppliers and to test fabric and finished garments at source.
We’ve dedicated the last 40 years to making the best clothing we can, both in the UK and overseas. Our clothing is crafted to give outstanding service and our experience in ethical sourcing ensures you can have total confidence in our brands.
We believe that business should be conducted with total respect for people and the environment. We adopt a rigorous selection process for garment manufacturers, ensuring only those that are totally committed to exceeding our high ethical standards become appointed suppliers.
We recognise that our business activities affect the natural environment in a number of ways. We strive through continuing improvement to minimise the adverse effects on the environment and the earth’s natural resources, whilst safeguarding the health & safety of our employees and the public. We purposely seek out suppliers who take positive action to minimise both waste and the impact of their manufacturing processes on the surrounding environment.
We aim to always:
• Comply with or exceed relevant legislative requirements. Where these are inadequate we will set our own standards that comply with our environmental and ethical criteria.
• Encourage manufacturing suppliers to recognise their environmental responsibilities and offer support to help them implement sound environmental health & safety policies and practices.
• Design and manufacture our products with consideration for the environment.
• Reduce progressively the environmental impact caused by our products and activities.

We recognise and honour our duty to protect the workforce used in the manufacture of our garments and work tirelessly with our suppliers to ensure the provision of fair wages and working hours, safe and hygienic working conditions, regular employment and no discrimination or harsh or inhumane treatment of employees.
