<h1>ABOUT BLAKLADER.</h1>
<h3>Functional workwear, shoes and gloves since 1959</h3>
WELCOME TO OUR FACTORIES 
Workwear is considerably more complicated to sew than regular clothing. It requires a greater artisanship, more exercise and a different type of mechanical equipment. In our own factories we have full transparency in production and can feel secure our workwear is produced in a fair manner and that they live up to our high quality standards.
Our first establishment in Asia was the factory in Ho Chi Min in Vietnam. Then followed the purchasing offices in Bangladesh and since 2006 Blaklader is based in Sri Lanka and since 2018 in Myanmar. All of our factories are certified to SA 8000, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. We have a code of conduct and social responsibility documented by all the rules. We think that things like transport to and from work, two meals a day, fresh water, medical centre and medical check-ups are important.
Nevertheless, for us it is much more significantly and specific than that. The factories are our own and our employees are the key to maintaining the high quality. Therefore, we are constantly working to assist employees with childcare and other interventions.

OUR OWNERSHIP BEGINS WITH THE FABRIC 
Before the production of a new garment can be started, the fabrics and components must be purchased. In addition, this process is permeated by our quest for full control. Unlike our competitors, we buy and stock our fabrics ourselves to quickly be able to adjust production to changes in demand. With our own production facilities and ownership of fabrics in stock, we get an unbroken chain that enables us to serve our customers in a unique way.
During production, constantly ongoing quality checks is carried out to avoid unwanted surprises. This philosophy, when it comes to ownership, responsibility and control, has resulted in a supply security of totally 97%, a fact that makes us very proud.

FULL CONTROL OVER WAREHOUSE AND DISTRIBUTION 
In the factory, at the end of the production line awaits carton labelling. The labelling allows the central warehouse in Sweden to always know where the garments are until they reach the customer. Our central warehouse in Svenljunga has an area of 30,000 m2, and the recently arrived cartons may be placed next to 350,000 others. Up to 4,500 garments are picked per day. The order- and inventory management system is fully integrated and works automatically. Here the job is done in real time.
In our warehouse there is constantly up to 2,5 million products, divided into 700 different models in 200 different materials and 100 different colours. Altogether, it is 20,000 unique articles and one of the widest assortment on the market.
FOR HUMANS, ENVIRONMENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS 
We take environmental and social responsibility from product concept to finished product, including sales and logistics. We are constantly developing our social and environmental efforts through long-term cooperation with suppliers.
Thanks to full control of our factories, we are able to coordinate all the incoming materials and components, thereby minimizing the supply chain. A limited number of carefully selected suppliers are the essential conditions for a high level of transparency and a genuinely sustainable supply chain.
Through Blåkläder Suppliers Guide we summarize our requirements and expectations of our suppliers and their subcontractors. To be able to deliver to Blåkläder, the company must approve the requirements in Blåkläder Suppliers Guide. The guide summarizes Blåkläder&#8217;s Code of Conduct, our list of restrictions for chemicals and includes law- and policy-based requirements.
Our Code of Conduct is based on the International Labor Organization&#8217;s (ILO&#8217;s) conventions, the UN Global Compact and the UN&#8217;s core conventions on labor law and child labor. Follow-up of the requirements in Blåkläder Suppliers Guide is done through visits and supplier audits.
