A leading position in Fair Wear – high social standards and fair wages
VAUDE has around 50 different production partners around the world. About 20% of them are in Germany and Europe, and about 80% are in Asia. The independent organization Fair Wear controls working conditions at all production facilities through annual audits in which workers are also interviewed outside the factory. In addition, grievances can be reported to Fair Wear at any time via an anonymous complaints system that is installed in each product. Producers committed themselves to complying with clearly defined social norms and paying fair wages. VAUDE as a customer is also checked regularly. At Fair Wear’s annual “Brand Performance Check” a few days ago – since 2015 in a row – VAUDE once again received the highest possible “Leader” for its high level of commitment.
