Principles of Production
Transparent production
We believe in producing high-quality garments under fair working conditions. We have strict requirements for manufacturing and for the quality and durability of our products. Nanso follows the principles of amfori BSCI, which aim to improve working conditions in international supply chains.
Openness and Collaboration
Transparency, trust, honesty and fair treatment guide our work across the supply chain. Nanso aims to build long-term partnerships and support suppliers in developing their practices. We give suppliers sufficient time to produce products, avoid auction-based supplier competition and never select suppliers based solely on price. This helps reduce pressure on suppliers and supports responsible working and environmental practices.

We are committed to transparency.
We Operate Openly
For us, transparency means sharing supply chain information openly. We have published supplier lists since 2020. In 2023, we joined the Transparency Pledge to demonstrate our commitment to greater transparency in our manufacturing supply chain. We publish our supplier lists annually.

Our jersey and fabric garments are primarily made in Turkey and Portugal, while our knitwear and coats are mainly produced in China.
The Criteria for Selecting our Suppliers
We have strict criteria for initiating partnerships and always aim for long-term collaboration. Partner selection takes into account commitment to Nanso's requirements, technical capability, craftsmanship, price, product safety and willingness to develop sustainability practices. Our Code of Conduct prohibits, among other things, child labour, forced labour and discrimination and sets requirements for the use of chemicals.
Suppliers are required to commit to:
- Nanso Group's Code of Conduct
- Nanso Group's Supplier Agreements
- amfori BSCI's Principles (or equivalent)
Amfori BSCI member since 2008
In our sourcing practices, we follow the principles of amfori BSCI, which aim to improve working conditions in international supply chains. We have been a member since 2008. BSCI membership does not by itself resolve all social responsibility challenges in the supply chain. Through long-term cooperation, we aim to encourage and support our suppliers in developing their practices.
In 2025, 100% of Nanso's suppliers were subject to a social responsibility audit: 59% underwent an amfori BSCI audit, 35% a Sedex SMETA audit and 6% of our suppliers were located in non-risk countries. We are also part of amfori BEPI, which supports the consideration of environmental issues in our value chain.
Living Wage
Nanso is committed to promoting living wages in its value chain. A living wage should provide workers and their families with a reasonable standard of living, including basic needs such as food, housing, healthcare, education and transportation.
In 2025, Nanso Group had 51 Tier 1 suppliers. Of these, 55% were amfori BSCI audited, 25% were Sedex SMETA audited and 20% were located in non-risk countries. Among BSCI-audited suppliers, 38% (11 suppliers) paid a living wage, compared with 28% in 2024. All BSCI-audited suppliers paid at least the statutory minimum wage. Average wage data was not available.
Nanso will continue to develop wage monitoring across different levels of the supply chain and work with suppliers to promote the implementation of living wages more systematically.
