Milana Label Supplier Code of Conduct

Version 1.1 — August 2025

Introduction
Milana Label partners only with manufacturers who reflect our core values of transparency, integrity, and ethical production. Our global production partners play a critical role in helping us deliver clothing that is gentle on skin, safe for the planet, and built to last.
This Code of Conduct outlines Milana Label’s expectations — grounded in emotional intelligence, environmental responsibility, and real transparency. It applies to all individuals, facilities, subcontractors, and partners involved in producing Milana Label garments.


1. Labour Standards & Human Rights

We believe respect begins with the people who make our products. All partners must ensure:

  • No forced, bonded, or involuntary labor of any kind
  • No child labor, meeting or exceeding local legal minimum working age
  • Fair wages, equal to or above local legal requirements
  • Reasonable working hours, with overtime that is voluntary and paid fairly
  • Freedom of association and the right to join or form unions without retaliation
  • A harassment-free environment, including protection from abuse, discrimination, or intimidation


2. Health, Safety & Working Conditions

Safe workplaces support dignity, focus, and pride. All partners must provide:

  • Clean, well-ventilated, and adequately lit workspaces
  • Functional fire safety equipment and training
  • Access to clean drinking water and sanitary facilities
  • Protective equipment and training where applicable
  • Systems for reporting and resolving safety concerns


3. Environmental Responsibility

Milana Label’s clothing is designed to last — but never at the planet’s expense. Partners are expected to:

  • Follow all local environmental laws and regulations
  • Minimize waste, emissions, and water use wherever possible
  • Ensure safe handling and disposal of chemicals and dyes
  • Support and uphold certifications such as Lenzing, GOTS, OEKO-TEX, or other relevant standards
  • Work collaboratively toward low-waste, traceable, and circular production systems


4. Product Integrity & Transparency

Every item made for Milana Label is a reflection of our promise. We require:

  • Full disclosure of subcontractors and production partners, with approval prior to use
  • Documentation for compliance testing (GOTS, OEKO-TEX, CPSIA, REACH, or other applicable standards)
  • Open communication about production changes or issues
  • Cooperation with audits or site visits, scheduled or unannounced
  • Ongoing commitment to improving traceability and visibility in the supply chain


5. Ethical Business Practices

We expect integrity in every part of our relationship. This includes:

  • No bribery, kickbacks, or unethical payment practices
  • No falsification of records or product claims
  • Transparent documentation of wages, hours, materials, and certifications
  • Disclosure of conflicts of interest or potential compliance risks


6. Commitment to Continuous Improvement

We understand that building better systems is ongoing. Milana Label will work collaboratively with partners to:

  • Identify and resolve areas of non-compliance
  • Support long-term improvements in processes, safety, or material use
  • Provide feedback and clarity as we scale responsibly
  • Review this code annually and update as needed
