People
Sixexport is a family owned factory of sixty eight employees. It has been running for fifteen years making woven garments and articles.
Brava has an employee based in Portugal who checks all their Portuguese factories, in addition to this Brava visit every season.
Brava has drawn up a code of conduct based on the labour principles set out by WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production). Brava sends this document to all their cut and sew factories to sign and follow it. This code covers matters of fair wages, chosen, adult labour, a safe working environment, the freedom to unions and collective bargaining, reasonable working hours, no discrimination, harassment or abuse, environmentally conscious practises, adherence to national laws and custom laws.
The Fair Wear Foundation considers Portugal a low risk country for the production of clothes, meaning that Fair Wear deems there to be functioning institutions and legislation that protect workers rights. Portugal's main labour law is relatively strict in comparison to other garment producing countries and there is a system to lodge complaints.
Planet
Seaqual is an innovative new yarn made with 10% marine plastic litter. The remaining 90% is post-consumer PET from land sources. Seaqual yarn is helping to clean up our oceans and raise awareness of the marine plastic problem.
Using recycled polyester keeps a non biodegradable material out of landfill, putting it to practical use.
