ETHICAL AND SUSTAINABLE RESPONSIBILITY

We do not own any manufacturing facilities, but we take steps to ensure the partners we work with are managed to the highest possible ethical and social standards.Betty Basics seeks to work with manufacturers that have accreditation to prove they are BSCI compliant. The Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) is a world leading supply chain management system which supports companies in driving compliance and improvements within their supply chains. BSCI provides companies with auditing methodology and reporting tools to help audit, train and influence activities to improve labor conditions and offer safe and positive working environments for factory staff.As a brand, we want to align with manufacturers who hold the same strong beliefs and are transparent regarding their ethical, social and ecological business standards. These standards fit into 8 key categories:

Protection of Workers and Zero Child Labor
Fair and Equal Pay
Reasonable Working Hours
Clean and Safe Working Environments
Positive Health and Wellbeing
Staff Training and Development
Reduced Inequalities and Gender Equality
Adequate Social Space and Activities

Betty Basics is taking steps towards working solely with factories that score well in the above categories in external BSCI audits as well committed to improving sustainability practices by adopting progress through offering a range of sustainable fibers in our design from recycled fibers to BCI accredited Cotton purchased from aligned BCI Member suppliers.

We are adopting progress and working towards a future where we can be certain that every article of clothing from Betty Basics label is manufactured in a fair, sustainable and safe factory by a well-paid, well-trained and happy worker.

BETTY CARES FOUNDATION

A percentage of every item purchased from the Betty Basics Essentials range, directly funds the Betty Cares Foundation and the clothing packs donated to women in crisis. Betty Cares clothing packs come in sizes 6-22 and include essentials from our Betty Basics range - a top, cardigan and pair of pants - as well as 3 pairs of underwear, all enclosed in a tote bag.

Betty Cares Foundation was established in 2018, following the success of Sass Clothing's partnership donating clothing items to the Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne. Betty Basics and Sass Clothing are both members of the same family owned corporate group. The simple gift of giving clothing items, evolved into the Betty Cares Foundation and the clothing packs we donate today.

Sass Clothing are passionate about giving back to the community and believe the first step to a more positive future can be the smallest of gestures.

"The sense of well-being and dignity that comfortable, well-made clothing can make for women is immeasurable"

Penelope Vye
Chief Social Worker
Royal Women's Hospital Melbourne

We are working to expand our healthcare partner network throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Betty Cares clothing packs are for women in crisis, without support or access to their own clothing.

If you represent a hospital or refuge centre - apply to become a Betty Cares Foundation healthcare partner and access free clothing packs for your most vulnerable patients.
