The strategy of Anaïk for sustainable procurement, the human rights respects, the eco-design,
the protection of the environment bear with shareholders wills, but also matching the market needs,
with sometimes some customers, with high media exposure, very straight in their controls.
According to this situation, we have set up a privileged partnership with WethicA which back us up in our approach
to carry out social audits in our factories, but above all which help, the factories and us,
to remain in a continuous improvement approach.
More than a “simple” audit, which is only a “pictures” of factory praxis, it is its analysis and the
following corrective actions that are the key of success of such an approach.
Thanks to Pierig Vezin, we are now able to rank our partners factories according to SA 8000 criteria,
but also according to their local situation (politic and economic), in China, in India, in Turkey.
Thanks to this information, to the proposal corrective actions from WethicA, but also due to our
strong presence on the ground and our commercial commitments with the factories, we are now able to motivate and
back up them efficiently. Indeed we notice genuine progress since one year of intense actions.
