Our Ethical Sourcing Requirements ensure that no animals or people are harmed in the production of our goods.

Ethical business practices are a core part of our company values. That is why this policy holds high importance for us. Our ethical sourcing requirements are industry-specific and continuously evolving as we gain new insights into the complexities of fashion supply chains.

We recognize our role in responsible sourcing by placing orders in a timely manner and maintaining strong cooperation with our suppliers - ensuring that we never demand the impossible.

All suppliers working with us are required to commit to our ethical sourcing policy when sourcing materials for our products. Each supplier has signed an agreement to comply with its principles, reinforcing our commitment to responsible business practices.

At Soya Group A/S, we do not allow animals to be harmed in the name of fashion.

Any animals involved in our products must be treated with dignity and respect, in accordance with animal welfare laws and international guidelines. They must never be subjected to pain or mistreatment.

Our Animal Welfare Policy ensures that all animals are treated ethically and in alignment with the Five Animal Freedoms. The policy also specifies a list of banned materials that are not permitted in our production.

All suppliers of animal-derived materials have signed our Code of Conduct and Animal Welfare Policy, committing to working with us to enhance transparency and traceability throughout our supply chain.

Our Child Labour Policy ensures that no children are employed anywhere in our supply chain.

The policy also outlines the necessary actions to be taken if cases of child labour are discovered at a supplier. In such cases, steps must be taken to ensure that the termination of the child's employment does not negatively impact the child or their family, leaving them in a worse situation than before.

We require our manufacturers to have proper hiring systems and the necessary documentation in place to prevent child labour. Any worker aged 15–18 should only perform light work that does not involve chemicals, heavy lifting, or dangerous machinery.

All suppliers have signed an agreement confirming that no child workers are involved in our production.

Soya Group A/S is committed to upholding the principles of the UN Convention Against Corruption. Corruption is defined as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain and can take many forms - not just financial transactions, but also preferential treatment, extra services, or other advantages obtained unfairly.

To prevent misunderstandings, extortion, and bribery, we aim to protect our employees, partners, stakeholders, and owners through clear policies and ethical business practices.

All suppliers have signed an agreement acknowledging the risks associated with corruption and committing to ensuring that no corrupt practices occur within their part of our value chain.

We have established a set of chemical restrictions that limit the use of certain substances and ban others entirely. While we adhere to REACH regulations, we recognize that some countries and customers have stricter requirements.

To ensure compliance, we have developed our own chemical restrictions, which all suppliers must adhere to. It is their responsibility to meet these standards and ensure that our products align with the highest safety and regulatory expectations.

Soya Group A/S strongly condemns all forms of exploitation and forced labor. Modern slavery occurs when individuals are exploited and completely controlled by others, without the freedom to leave.

Slavery disproportionately affects vulnerable individuals and groups, making it crucial to take proactive measures against it.

This policy ensures that our suppliers are committed to eliminating modern slavery within their supply chains and that they confirm no forms of slavery exist in their operations.

Through continuous assessments, we actively monitor our supply chain to ensure that slavery of any kind does not occur. All our suppliers have signed an agreement confirming that their operations are free from any form of forced labor or exploitation.
