Commitments in a sound, publicised CSR policy
Firms and local communities are often involved in ambitious sustainable development or CSR policies. The professional clothing worn by their employees must be consistent with their advocated values.
Textile transformation may be opaque or transparent, disparate or integrated, complex or harmonious, socially irresponsible or responsible. Like the economy, textile transformation may be excessive or rational, destructive or contributory.

Professional clothing is an important product for employees and for your firm
Are you aware of many other products purchased by your firm which offer safety, a particular image, comfort, responses to the users' requirements and which concern all employees as well as the firm's partners ?
.
Your professional clothing tells a story : will the story be a positive one or one that is open to criticism ?
Are you sufficiently familiar with the manufacturing conditions of your clothing to enable you to make a commitment to your management and your employees ? Do you know :
- > Whether the supplier chain involved in the manufacturing of the clothing makes efforts to assess and reduce their impacts and whether these suppliers wish to become part of a « virtuous cycle » ?
- > Whether your clothing has a positive or negative impact on the planet ?
- > o Whether in general the textile firms (textile manufacturers and dressmakers) involved in the manufacturing process are concerned with the health and safety of the users, whether they have polluted their environment, whether they are based in countries which do not respect human rights, whether they use child labour, whether they create sustainable products, whether they waste energy, whether they respect their suppliers, whether they take the opinions of trade unions into account, whether they are concerned with the inhabitants of the regions in which they are based, whether they help to create a better world for future generations ? DO THEY SHARE WITH TDV Industries THE AMBITION OF BEING BOTH EFFICIENT AND USEFUL...?
