Sustainability and Fair Trade
Nobody gets screwed
Noboby should get screwed in our supply chain, from the environment to harvest our raw material to the factory workers sewing our products. This is our simple yet blunt motto for fair trade and sustainability business practices and is an on-going journey. Our motto reflects our driving guideline that everyone along our supply chain should earn a decent living to raise a family.
In a world where sustainability and fair trade are after-thoughts, we at LESPIRANT do not want to build our brand on the back of cheap and exploited labor in unsafe working condition. While costs always remain a challenge, we trust you will value a product ethically made in a supply chain where no one got screwed or exploited.
