Production & Supply Chain Transparency

Factory Locations & Traceability

At Driift Customs, we’re committed to knowing exactly where our products begin and how they reach you. We choose partners who prioritise transparency and accountability, and our alignment with Stanley/Stella provides a foundation rooted in traceable, responsible sourcing.

Stanley/Stella actively maps their supply chain — from cotton fields to garment factories — and ensures traceability at every stage, backed by transaction certificates that document the chain of custody.
Their production spans multiple facilities, including spinners, knitters, and garment makers, all of which undergo regular audits and verification.

We mirror this model: each step — from raw material to finished product — is logged and traceable, helping us build confidence and clarity into every Driift item.

Working Conditions & Ethical Standards

Respecting the hands and hearts behind every piece is a responsibility we take seriously.

Stanley/Stella, through their Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) membership, conducts third-party audits, implements Corrective Action Plans (CAPs), and collaborates closely with factory management to uphold safe, dignified working conditions.
Their 2023 updates included improved audit tools and stricter monitoring to reinforce positive conditions on the ground.

We’re adopting the same level of rigour — using structured audits, traceable practices, and on-site checks — to ensure everyone involved in our production is treated with safety, respect, and fairness.

Fair Wages & Living Standards

Paying fairly for honest work is essential to long-term relationships — and moral clarity.

Stanley/Stella has committed to ensuring suppliers can pay living wages and uses open costing models, though full wage transparency is still a work in progress.

At Driift, this principle is non-negotiable. We’re actively exploring fair wage frameworks and cost models that ensure workers receive not just a wage, but one that truly supports their well-being and families.

Traceability, Accountability & Governance

Traceability equals trust. Without knowing origins, we cannot uphold the integrity we promise.

Stanley/Stella’s Charter makes traceability and due diligence non-optional pillars of their operations — underlining human rights, supply chain accountability, and transparency as core values.
Their Social Responsibility programme includes long-term supplier relationships, risk mapping, and wellbeing tools such as site-specific data, CAPs, and governance structures.

Following that example, Driift is building a supply chain where every supplier, every stitch, and every label carries a record — ensuring that environmental and social standards are not just ideals, but lived, traceable practices.
