IVY OAK

Designing for longevity is key for the brand. When IVY OAK starts designing a new piece, it keeps its entire life cycle in mind, starting with the raw material up to the moment you hold it in your hands

The brand cares about fair working conditions and wages, workplace safety and transparency. They require partners to sign the corporate Code of Conduct, which defines social and environmental standards, such as the ILO core conventions, including minimum wages, overtimes or prevailing standards that ensure workers cover their basic needs with discretionary income. All new factories undergo assessments of their social and environmental practices prior to onboarding to ensure they fulfill IVY OAK's criteria. Once the brand works with a factory, they do regularly visit to build trusted relationships. They do audits, questionnaires and risk assessments and monitor suppliers’ performance to identify areas for improvement, set targets and collaborate to achieve common goals. IVY OAK is a member of Amfori, one of the world’s largest organizations that help companies manage responsible sourcing in their supply chain

The brand promotes inclusivity, diversity and equality, celebrating all ages, shapes, sizes and identities with their designs
