At Carhartt, we know words alone won’t help us build a better world, so here’s how we’re taking action.
When our company was founded in 1889, Hamilton Carhartt talked about the role of a responsible business in doing, "the just and honest thing, gainful if possible". These core principles have underpinned Carhartt's approach to business for more than 125 years and are as relevant today as they were in 1889.
Building on our roots as an American company, Carhartt products are today manufactured and sold globally. Production is centered in company-owned factories in the U.S. and Mexico, and in a network of supplier and licensee factories around the world.
We are keenly aware of the environmental and human rights challenges presented by global sourcing and we have taken a number of important steps to help ensure that our principles are upheld throughout the global network of factories supporting our business. Key steps include:
* Adopting a Workplace Code of Conduct that establishes expectations for all of our supplier and licensee relationships. This Code provides key base line expectations for environmental protection, responsible working conditions, and fundamental human rights. It is based on the Core Conventions of the International Labor Organization and the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
* As outlined in our Global Social Responsibility Supplier Manual, all facilities are required to be audited by 3rd party auditing companies under Carhartt approved programs to ensure compliance to the principles outlined in the Carhartt Workplace Code of Conduct. The facilities must maintain passing audits for the duration of their relationship with Carhartt.
In addition to the 3rd party audits, Carhartt’s Global Social Responsibility team conducts on-site verification assessments of each facility to confirm the facility is fully compliant, and to partner with the facilities on any improvements that may be required to fully comply with the Carhartt Workplace Code of Conduct.
* In addition to these assessments, Carhartt sourcing and quality assurance personnel visit and work in supplier facilities on an ongoing basis. These individuals have been trained on responsible workplace conditions and Carhartt's expectations for suppliers. The regular presence of Carhartt personnel at supplier facilities allows us to closely monitor day-to-day work conditions supplementing the periodic audits by third-parties or assessments by Carhartt’s Global Social Responsibility team.

At Carhartt, our purpose is to build a better world for all hardworking people. This includes every person working to stitch, sew, and put the finishing touches on our products from inside the facilities located on this map. For this reason, all Carhartt-owned factories and its partners around the world must be certified to uphold the standards for fair labor practices, safe working conditions, and environmental responsibility.
To ensure the requirements for social compliance are met, every facility is regularly audited, both through an approved third-party social compliance certification program, and by representatives from Carhartt's Social Compliance Team who physically visit every factory. In addition, we created our Workplace Code of Conduct to clearly define the expectations of our factories in order to only work with partners that share our desire to preserve the hardworking way of life and build a cleaner, safer, better world for everyone.
