People | Lorna Jane

At Lorna Jane, we recognise that our greatest assets are the individuals who make up our vibrant supply chain — from our suppliers who produce our activewear to the dedicated team members who bring our vision to life. As Active Citizens, we believe in the inherent dignity of all work and are committed to ensuring that every person in our supply chain is treated with respect, empowered through fair employment practices, and supported by living wages.

Our commitment to people is rooted in a culture of inclusivity and empowerment. We are devoted to meeting global standards for labour practices, ensuring safe, equitable, and humane working conditions. This commitment extends throughout our supply chain, reflecting our core belief that the well-being of our people is fundamental to our success.

By investing in the people who contribute to our brand, we foster a positive work environment that encourages growth, innovation, and loyalty. This approach not only enhances the quality of our products but also ensures that the spirit of Lorna Jane — Empowering Women, Transforming the World — shines through in every garment we produce.

Social Compliance

Lorna Jane is dedicated to upholding a high standard of social responsibility across our supply chain through our Social Compliance Program. This program ensures our manufacturing processes align with our ethical values and stakeholder expectations.

Key components include our Suppliers registering on SEDEX, which helps manage and assess risks concerning labour rights, health and safety, the environment, and business ethics, and annual independent audits of our suppliers to maintain continuous compliance with our standards. We address any non-compliances by developing corrective action plans and conducting follow-up audits to ensure issues are resolved.

We are committed to continuous improvement and plan to extend our Social Compliance Program to our fabric mills within the next 12 months to ensure our entire product manufacturing process meets our stringent ethical standards.

Non Trade Suppliers

At Lorna Jane, we are dedicated to the well-being of everyone in our supply chain, ensuring fair and safe practices. Our current assessments with Fair Supply show zero high-risk non-trade suppliers, reflecting our rigorous standards. Moving forward, we will engage our key non-trade suppliers by requesting they complete a self-assessment questionnaire. This process will enable us to provide tailored assistance, further enhancing the integrity and sustainability of our supply chain.

Responsible Business Commitment #2

Lorna Jane is Committed to Enriching Our Local and Global Communities Through Active Engagement and Support

Living Wages

At Lorna Jane, we believe in the importance of paying a living wage—a wage that, according to the Anker methodology, is calculated to meet the basic needs of workers and their families, including food, housing, healthcare, education, and some discretionary income. Unlike a minimum wage, which is often legally mandated but may not cover all essential living expenses, a living wage is intended to ensure that workers can maintain a decent standard of living.
