DARLA Dress
This product is made with TENCEL™ branded lyocell that is mainly manufactured from beech wood, sourced from sustainable forests in Austria and neighboring countries
The fabric this product is made with is produced using an environmentally responsible closed loop production process, meaning its solvent has a recovery rate of more than 99%, so no chemical or organic waste is produced in the process. This means not much water is required, because it is reused continuously in its process
The brand cares about fair working conditions and wages, workplace safety and transparency. They require partners to sign the corporate Code of Conduct, which defines social and environmental standards, such as the ILO core conventions, including minimum wages, overtimes or prevailing standards that ensure workers cover their basic needs with discretionary income. All new factories undergo assessments of their social and environmental practices prior to onboarding to ensure they fulfill IVY OAK's criteria. Once the brand works with a factory, they do regularly visit to build trusted relationships. They do audits, questionnaires and risk assessments and monitor suppliers’ performance to identify areas for improvement, set targets and collaborate to achieve common goals. IVY OAK is a member of Amfori, one of the world’s largest organizations that help companies manage responsible sourcing in their supply chain
