The clothing industry is an extremely labor intensive industry. Throughout the world one hears of exploitation within apparel manufacturing. School and Leisure condemns any such treatment.
Within School & Leisure we promote a working environment that is conducive to work/life balance, fair remuneration, skills development and adherence to the Basic Conditions of Employment Act of South Africa. We believe that our human capital plays a large role in our success as an organization – we never lose sight of this.
We stock the Schoolwear Brand ENVOY which stands for more than quality clothing, it stands for fair treatment of employees within the manufacturing environment.
We urge parents to take cognizance of where their children’s uniforms come from – join us in supporting ethical manufacturers! In addition, by supporting Proudly South African companies, you are personally contributing to the creation of jobs for South Africans and the sustainability of the manufacturing industry in South Africa.
Supporting ethical manufacturers is a win-win situation for all. Children are attired in quality garments that will survive the rough and tumble of a schoolyard, but most importantly parents can be assured that any sweat on their children’s clothes is the result of play and not exploitation.
