Overview Kwintet CSR policy
To achieve economic success, Kwintet must also contribute to social and environmental success
On a fundamental human level we act because we care and because we can – we are a big company with a potentially large impact wherever we operate
Kwintet’s ambition is to meet and exceed CSR related expectations of the company’s stakeholders
Working together to create a compliant supply chain for

Close cooperation between CSR Dept. and Strategic Sourcing will be done in a way that does not hamper the consolidation process; the more consolidated supply chain, the more we can reach a sustainable compliance level among our suppliers
Kwintet’s supply chain compliance strategy
Preferred suppliers
1) Finished goods
2) Fabric and trim
Time and resources spent on
audits and compliance monitoring
Integrating compliance activities into the sourcing activities, focusing on the most important suppliers, i.e. where we plan for long term business relations, will promote a sustainable compliance level and as well as a truly compliant Preferred supply chain

We have started to build a long-term sustainable social compliance program with thorough and credible procedures for:
AuditingRemediationContinuous compliance progress and supplier dialogueNo quick fixes
Fair Wear Foundation continuously evaluates the quality of our compliance program and purchasing practices and publish the results on its web site
What customers can expect from us today
Compliance in the supply chain – it’s complex and not a quick fix
We need to get started with the basicsKwintet Group’s supply base is huge and complex and we are starting from scratch by mapping out the starting compliance level
How to reach sustainable compliance in our supply chain Focus needs to be on our overall approach rather than audit details. There are no short cuts; We will have come a long way when our sourcing is consolidated through the Kwintet Preferred supply chain
CSR and sourcing are symbiotically connectedLong-term business relations with a fewer amount of suppliersMutual supplier dialogueCooperation with local community and other stakeholders – MSI (multi-stakeholder initiatives)
Keeping the internal and external discussions on CSR aliveRaising the bar for our ambition level as we gradually make progress in laying the foundation of our CSR program
