Where are the socks manufactured?Updated 10 months ago

We work with a company called Pacific Manufacturing that has offices in San Diego and Haining, which is a city in China that is known for higher-quality textile manufacturing. 

How do you ensure workers are being treated well?

Pacific Manufacturing regularly tours factory floors and has two main requirements for the factories they work with. The first is compliance with the BCSI Code of Conduct which preserves the right of collective bargaining, bans child labor, and ensures a safe workplace as well as grievance mechanisms for workers (among a bunch of other stuff.) 

The second is that the factory must not have more than 5% employee turnover. A higher turnover rate is a sign that workers are not being treated well resulting in many of them quitting, whereas lower turnover is a sign that employees’ expectations for a good workplace are being met.
