Ethical Practice

“The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.”

- Lee Tolstoy

PVBS recognizes that there is inequality and unfair treatment running rife throughout the fashion/apparel industry. Humanity has been used and abused for years, for the luxury of the clothes we love to wear. In recent years, the unfair treatment of workers in developing countries has come to light, and sparked an international movement, set on bringing the same equalities we enjoy on a daily basis, to such countries.

We are dedicated to following fair and ethical practices, and keeping them to the highest of standards, as we set out to help make a positive change in this world. We believe that good workplace standards, decent health and safety requirements, fair pay and conditions, and care for the environment are important elements in business success.

WRAP Certified Production

All of PVBS  products are now produced using WRAP Certification standards.

Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP) is a not-for-profit 501 organisation dedicated to promoting ethical, humane, and lawful conditions and practices in manufacturing facilities all around the world. The WRAP certification program mainly focuses on the apparel, footwear and sewn products sectors and is expanding into all labor-intensive sectors, such as hotels, jewelry, furniture, construction and more.

The organization is charted to develop a series of codes and practices governing manufacturing conditions worldwide and is also tasked with licensing independent auditing firms to conduct audits based on those codes and practices.

PVBS is not WRAP Certified, (as WRAP does not certify business, only production facilities) but we are dedicated to using WRAP Certified and Fair Trade garments in order to ensure we are supporting the right authorities and providing our customers with products that are of the highest standards, in quality and ethics.
