Social + Environmental

 

 

MADE CONSCIOUSLY

At Juem, consideration for social and environmental impact is in our nature. We are proud members of 1% for the Planet, donating 1% of our yearly sales revenue to non-for-profit organizations. We have also partnered with Carbon Positive Australia to support reforestation and carbon offset initiatives and make generous donations annually.

 

 

GOTS COTTON

 

Responsibly and mindfully made with natural GOTS certified organic cotton, each piece is soft on your skin with minimal impact on the environment. We use a small amount of elastane for gentle stretch, allowing ease of movement and fluctuation, kindly moulding to your shape as your body changes.

 

 

OEKO-TEX LACE

 

Juem lace is OEKO-Tex Standard 100 certified, meaning every component of the lace is tested for harmful substances and is therefore harmless for human health. All lace garments are lined with soft, breathable cotton, containing 6% elastane for gentle

 

 

MANUFACTURING

 

Our main manufacturer is located in Guangzhou, China. We have visited to meet with them and tour their facilities, ensuring they are provided good working conditions, fair hours, and pay. They are audited yearly to comply with BSCI standards.

 

Our lace garments are manufactured at a small SEDEX Ethical Trade certified manufacturer in Guandong, China. All lace fabrics are OKEO-Tex standard 100 certified.

 

All workers are ensured a fair wage, good working conditions and hours. We acknowledge that the wage received for a standard workweek by any worker is enough to allow a decent living standard for them and their family. This includes food, water, housing, education, health care, transportation, clothing, and other essential needs including provision for unexpected events. Our suppliers have agreed to and signed our Environmental, Animal Welfare, and Social Policies.

 

 

SOCIAL

 

We have partnered with a local charity donating samples, seconds or end of line products we no longer need. Thread Together offers a hand up to those in need by providing essential clothing at no cost. 

 

“An increasing number of Australians do not have access to essential clothing. According to the Social Policy Research Centre report of 2016, 2.99 million people (13.3% of the population), are living below the poverty line. We believe that clothing performs a vital role in creating brighter futures for those who need it most.

BIODEGRADABLE AND RECYCLED PACKAGING

 

In place of conventional plastic, all product arrives at our warehouse in glassine bags made from glassine paper that is recyclable, or PBAT packaging made from renewable resources such as sugar cane and cornstarch, both of which are designed to be biodegradable and home compostable. We use FSC certified recycled paper for our invoices, and swing tags, which are tied to garments using natural cotton rope, eliminating the need for unnecessary safety pins, and our envelopes are composed of glassine paper. Our orders are then packed and dispatched in recycled plastic mailer satchels, made from recovered ocean plastic pollution.

 

 

Designed by women for women. We are always looking to improve our processes, and we commit to continuously doing so as we grow.
