PACSUN
PacSun is dedicated to delivering an exclusive collection of the most relevant brands and styles to a community of inspired youth. Curated in Los Angeles.
PacSun is committed to sourcing products from suppliers who conduct their business in a fair and responsible manner and share our belief in protecting human rights and preserving the environment. All PacSun suppliers are expected to make every effort possible to prevent any abusive, exploitative or illegal conditions in their factories. Below are some of our efforts to ensure that our suppliers are honoring their promise to uphold our principles:
- Vendor Code of Conduct: PacSun created a Vendor Code of Conduct in line with international labor standards and laws. All supplier factories and subcontractor factories producing PacSun's proprietary branded merchandise are required to comply with our Vendor Code of Conduct.
- Factory Audits: PacSun uses third-party monitoring firms to ensure that factories producing our goods are complying with our Code of Conduct. All factory assessments are conducted on a semi-announced and announced basis. Throughout the assessment process, the auditors advise factory management on how to correct any noncompliance issues that are found. PacSun also accepts global certifications from organizations such as WRAP and SA8000. In some cases we may accept recent audits from peer companies in the apparel industry whose principles are in line with international labor standards and our Code of Conduct.
- Remediation: We are committed to continuous improvement of our supplier factories. When noncompliance issues are identified, we believe the best way to resolve these issues are to provide the factory with assistance and guidance by placing them on a corrective action plan. However, if a critical issue of noncompliance is identified and/or when a supplier is unable to comply with our requirements, it is our policy to terminate the business relationship.
- Environment: PacSun requires all supplier factories and their subcontractors to comply with all local and international laws regarding the protection and preservation of the environment. Our supplier audits also verify that factories have obtained all required operating permits to handle hazardous materials and waste. Factories are also required to have waste management systems in place to ensure the proper handling and treatment of wastewater and hazardous materials as well as to prevent any catastrophic release of chemicals in the environment.
