Suppliers and factories
The Kappahl Group does not own any factories. Instead, we work collaboratively with suppliers that share our commitment to responsible clothing production.
We produce our clothes in Asia and Europe, primarily in China, Bangladesh, India and Turkey. All our products are made by carefully selected suppliers that share our commitment to transparent and responsible production.
Having long-standing relationships with a limited number of suppliers enables us to have effective discussions about improvements and support their sustainable practices.
We are present in our manufacturing countries
We have had our own offices and many employees in Bangladesh, China and India, our largest production countries, for more than 30 years. More than 100 employees work with purchasing, sustainability and quality control in these countries. This enables us to have regular dialogue with our around 140 suppliers, visit them frequently and ensure that they are complying with our requirements on working conditions and the environment.
We set requirements for working conditions and sustainability transitions
We only work with suppliers that share our commitment to transparent and responsible production. All suppliers that work with the Kappahl Group agree to comply with our Sustainability Commitment, our code of conduct. The code sets out principles with regard to trade union rights, wages, working hours, occupational health and safety, the working environment, etc. It also states our zero tolerance approach to any form of forced labour and child labour.
We visit and inspect the factories regularly with our own staff to ensure that the suppliers are complying with our requirements.

We can help bring about changes by having a local presence and taking a long-term approach.
Goal: 100 per cent traceability in 2026
Traceability and transparency in our manufacturing chain help us identify risks and ensure good working conditions.
We are working to trace 100 per cent of our range from fibre to finished garment. Using the traceability service TrusTrace, we document where and how each garment is made – all the way back to the origin of the fibre.
The goal is for our entire range to be traceable from 2026 onwards. Already today, our entire jeans range is fully traceable. On our website, customers can see where the materials come from, where the fabric is woven and where the garment is sewn.
