At the heart of ethical employment lies our commitment to providing fair compensation to our workers. By fair, we mean more than just meeting the minimum wage. We're dedicated to offering living wages, enabling our employees to lead financially stable lives, free from undue financial stress. This extends beyond wages; it encompasses essential aspects such as healthcare and family well-being.

But our responsibility as ethical employers doesn't end when our workers retire from our company. We don't treat our employees as mere tools, used and then discarded when they no longer directly contribute to profits.

In our ongoing Living Wage series, we delve into two critical aspects: ethical labour practices and pension support for our valued workers. Joining us in the third episode is Joanna Maiden from SOKO Kenya, who shares her journey of establishing an ethical clothing manufacturing company in Kenya. She went beyond addressing labour and wage concerns; she made sure her people were looked after even during challenging financial times.

Join us now on this journey towards ethical employment practices. By doing so, your business can not only thrive financially but also uphold ethical values every step of the way.
