...We attach great importance to creating transparency and ethical conditions in the supply chain of our young private labels (zLabels), as demonstrated through various measures (social standards, audit programs, Factory Improvement Program, etc). We currently publish the number of suppliers and factories with which zLabels cooperates as well as the sourcing countries and respective volume of goods sourced in percent in the Annual Report...
