Ethical Trading and Code of Conduct LEA SPORTSWEAR LTD.

Various initiatives have been introduced over recent years and there is an increasing call for general improvement in working standards. 
Lea Sportswear actively promotes the use of suppliers who maintain proper standards within their factories. Clothing producers face growing pressure from retailers, governments, consumers, shareholders, the media and others to be held accountable for their global production practices. Labour standards and factory conditions in industries ranging from toys to sporting goods have become the subject of standard-setting and monitoring initiatives. Recognizing the potential for individual manufacturers to adopt inconsistent standards and unnecessarily duplicate monitoring efforts, prominent clothing producers have combined to coordinate the industry's role in addressing these issues.
