At Sharon Lee, we take our social and ethical responsibilities seriously, ensuring that every part of our production process meets the highest standards of compliance and sustainability. Our commitment to audits, testing, and transparency is unwavering, providing our clients with the peace of mind they need to trust our products and processes.
If you would like to review specific audits or have any questions about our ethical policies, we are always happy to share these with you. Should you require more in-depth information on audits, testing, or environmental standards, we are more than willing to discuss any opportunities further. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Fully audited supply chain
We are proud to operate across a fully audited supply chain, accepted and backed by some of the world’s largest brands and retailers. We understand the importance of maintaining a socially and ethically compliant chain, which is why our manufacturing partners in China undergo an annual 4-Pillar SMETA audit. Additionally, our UK production site is subject to an annual Fast Forward audit, ensuring that every part of our supply chain is fully compliant and transparent, giving you the confidence to trust us with your orders.
Ethical Sourcing Policy
While we acknowledge the cost benefits of overseas sourcing, we are fully aware of the social impact that offshore supply chains can have. That’s why we’ve developed an Ethical Sourcing Policy, which outlines our commitment to humane manufacturing conditions in all countries where we source. This policy is strictly adhered to, and we have obtained written commitments from all our manufacturers to comply with these ethical standards.
Sharon Lee is dedicated to being a socially responsible organisation, mindful of the environmental, social, and economic impact of our operations on local communities. We aim to maximise the benefits of our global operations while minimising any negative impact. Through both the SMETA and Fast Forward audit programmes, we assess and mitigate risks in our supply chain, ensuring the highest standards are consistently met.
Product Testing
Our commitment to compliance goes beyond ethical practices. In addition to regular audits, our primary stock factory carries the OEKO-TEX 100 standard fabrics certification, ensuring that all our fabrics meet strict safety and environmental criteria. All of our stock styles are also tested to be REACH compliant. You can be assured that our products are produced within a fully compliant supply chain, meeting both quality and regulatory standards.
