Responsible Supply Chain

Supplier Sustainability

At Rupa, we believe in order to achieve sustainability in our everyday activities, elements of sustainability needs to be embedded into our supply chain.

We strive to anchor all our business relations with suppliers by amalgating sustainability throughout our value chain.

Responsible Sourcing

We consciously make an effort to boost socio-economic development of the local communities by prioritising local suppliers for both goods and services.

We also evaluate suppliers by certain certifications and criteria which involves environmental and social aspects.

Our Actions

Implementation of SAP S4 (HANA) in fashion raw materials procurement for increased efficiency in supply chain.

Many of our fabric and yarn materials suppliers certified with Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)- implying raw materials have a minimum composition of 70% of organic fibres.

Most of our suppliers have received OEKO- TEX Standard 100 certification. This means all textiles we use are free from all banned substances like AZO colourants, formaldehyde and pentachlorophenol.
