Hangzhou Bestsino-sustainable development

We want to make a real difference in our industry, so it is important that we know the route our products are travelling from fiber to shop. Right now we have mapped our supply chain to factory level – i.e. where they sow the garment, in some cases we have mapped where the main fabric comes from. It is our aim to get a more transparent supply chain and eventually be able to map our products to the origins of the raw materials. It is a long road to travel, but we are proud to have taken the first steps.
