Bangladesh Accord
The Bangladesh Accord is an independent, legally binding agreement between brands and unions. The purpose of the agreement is a safe and healthy garment and textile industry in Bangladesh. At Zusss we apply the rules of this agreement within our fashion lines. The agreement applies to factories producing ready-made garments (RMG), fabrics and knitted accessories.
BEPI
The Business Environmental Performance Initiative (BEPI) is an initiative under Amfori, which aims to improve the environmental aspect within the production chain of our fashion items. The organization tests in 11 environmental performance areas, from energy consumption and greenhouse gases to chemical management.

The right to form a trade union, the creation of safe working conditions and the prevention of forced and child labor are among the main pillars of this initiative. Members and their suppliers achieve this by creating an improvement plan to meet International Labor Organization (ILO) standards.
