Our Story
Our Founder and CEO Marianne started out as a regular shopper in London, when she realised she knew nothing about the people who made what she was buying. She travelled to China and worked in a factory, built trust with workers and managers, and today our team is focused on helping build trust alongside some of the biggest brands in the world.

Our global problem
Workers don't have a voice
If people have an issue, there is no way for workers to voice it, which means issues can't be heard.
Factories are under pressure
High labour turnover, workers and brands are demanding improved conditions and quality of life.
Brands are in the dark
Scandals can happen at any time, and the industry is reliant on audit which gives limited information.
