Jack Wolfskin to name all its suppliers

05/09/2013
Outdoor brand Jack Wolfskin has said it will publish a list of the manufacturers who make products on its behalf. The aim of what the German brand called “this transparency offensive” is to create an outline of all the stages of production and make it available to the general public, it said, adding that the move would bring it one step closer to achieving “a production and supply chain that is both transparent and free from harmful chemicals by 2020”.

The published list will contain a complete breakdown of all manufacturers across all three divisions; apparel, shoes and equipment. These companies are categorised as ‘level 1’ to distinguish them from earlier steps in the production process, such as the manufacturing of materials and extraction of raw materials. They are predominately found in Asia, though some are also located in Europe.
