SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
From the conception of our brand “doing the right thing” has been important to our team and customers. We believe it is the responsibility of every individual to be a good citizen, and while being a small player in a global market can at times be daunting, we believe our impact on human rights can be just as significant as larger operations and that we can all make a difference.
The below links provide further information about our Socially Responsible practices.
Amfori.
We have recently joined the Amfori BSCI initiative. The Business Social Compliance Initiative is a leading supply chain management system that supports companies to drive social compliance and improvements within the factories and farms in their global supply chains.
Better Cotton Initiative.
The Better Cotton Initiative exists to make global cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment it grows in and better for the sector’s future. BCI aims to transform cotton production worldwide by developing Better Cotton as a sustainable mainstream commodity.

Reemi is a social enterprise and non-profit that exists to see humans flourish everywhere, with 100% of their profits going towards helping others.

Garment Care Guide.
If you care for your garments, and extend their life by as little as nine months, you can reduce their carbon footprint by around 20 – 30 percent. Here’s a few simple tips and tricks to help you maximise the life of your garments.
Removing plastic from

Here at AS Colour we are committed to eliminate single use plastics, and plastic in general, from our supply chain. Through a thorough internal audit of our operations and supply chain, we have isolated areas we will improve upon. See below for a detailed list of what we are doing.
Production FAQ's.
Customers often ask about our production, including the ways we promote fair, safe and healthy conditions in our factories in Bangladesh and China – here we answer some of our most frequently asked questions.
Code Of Conduct.
This code defines labour standards that aim to achieve safe, fair, legal and humane working conditions for everyone working in our supply chain. We work with great people and we care for their well-being. We care how we do business, who we do business with, and how people are treated.
