International Women’s Day celebrates the cultural, economic, social and political achievements of women. As a business, our staff, including our freelance colleagues, are 73% women. Seven of our eleven female colleagues are working mums. And amongst the amazing people who manufacture our clothes there is a similarly positive story of equality in our workplaces. 43% of the manufacturing staff at our UK partner factories are women. We recognise equality in ability and reflect this through equality in pay.
