Coordination mechanisms/governance structure

The initiative will be governed is based on our CSR team that will monitor and set the guidelines to have an accurate representation of the cause and relationship this initiative is expected to have. \r\n1. Setting up equality at work: by using a KPI that monitors production output every hour we aim to give promotions and leadership role on the efficiency and team development of each line to give equal promotion and bonuses\r\n2. Proper hiring procedure: we have an intensive procedure to ensure that the candidates that are applying at our factory are over 18, based on their birth certificate and identification card.\r\n3. Training: employees are trained on several aspect, including, skill to manufacture high technical garments, safety procedure, technical knowledge of machines, and company policy & guidelines\r\n4. Minimize waste: import and export require lots of packaging waste that can be reused and reduced, while our company policy teaches living sustainably. Fabric packages and leftovers will reused as training material, machine covers, cleaning cloths, mask for operators (water resistant fabrics), and factory policy of using water bottles not one times plastic bottles, we will provide refill areas.
