QUALITY CONTROLAND ASSURANCE

CODE OF CONDUCT

By remodeling and re�ning the manufacturing process continuously, the Quality Control section of La Muni Apparels has ensured low rework and repair rate; which thereby ensures high quality products in the quickest possible time. The experienced Quality Control team extends its operations even in sourcing decisions of raw materials, chemicals and accessories. So, from selecting right chemicals for ensuring �ver color tolerance to adopting technologies to give right quality and comfort- La Muni Apparels assures maximum value to clients.

Compliance is a continuous process in manufacturing, not a single event. To become a responsible apparel manufacturer, it is important to exceed local and law and legislation and meet ILO convention in terms of employment practices and to do it continuously.

La Muni Apparels succeeds because of its strict adherence to ethical business practices in dealing with clients, suppliers and other stakeholders. The capability of extending short lead-time is possible because of the mutual trust and commitment the company shares with its suppliers.

WORKERS’WELFARE

WORKPLACEENVIRONMENT

Besides paying a "living wage" which is substantially higher than the legal minimum, La Muni Apparels also supports its employees by setting up welfare facilities like medical center, day-care center, and canteen. Properly equipped with a team of full-time doctors and nurses, its medical unit extends consultation and medication to workers’ general health care requirements. It also bears full expenses of treatment of any injuries incurred in working hours. In base, day-care center is not mere compliance with legal requirement, rather a pride- taking care of and educating children of working mothers. Moreover, adequate and facilitated arrangement of canteen, safe drinking waters, and hygienic lavatories make the facility a good place to work.

As a responsible apparel producer, La Muni Apparels provides its employees a work environment much better than the required level set by Bangladeshi law. The goal is to exceed requirements of local legislation and reach the global standards, and thereby, to support clients’ visions and sourcing principles. Clearly demarcated emergency routes & exits, smoke & �re detectors, consciously designed working layouts ensure a safe workplace for workers. As per ISO requirements, instructions and warning signs are posted in highly visible places, inside the factory and in local language (Bangla). Besides being safe, the workplace offers a congenial & supporting environment for all: managerial staffs and workers work in mutual cooperation and respect.
