THIRD-PARTY PARTNERSHIPS 

When it comes to achieving the highest manufacturing standards, we believe it’s crucial to be outward facing and draw on the expertise of third parties, not just so we are held accountable, but so we can learn from other industry leaders through partnership and collaboration.  

 We work with the following renowned organisations to ensure the very best standards of CSR: 

Sedex 

Working with this world-leading ethical trading organisation ensures: 

• no child labour occurs in production  
• fair working conditions for all V12 employees and personnel 
  

SATRA 

Carrying the Quality Mark of world-renowned testing organisation Satra signifies our products have: 

• come from a manufacturing environment featuring ongoing product conformity assessments 
• undergone a meticulous and rigorous inspection and testing programme  

LWG  

Working with the Leather Working Group who work to ensure environmental best practice in leather manufacturing means:

• our footwear manufactured in Europe is made at LWG certified tanneries 
• this footwear is made using sustainably sourced leather
  

BSiF 

The BSiF (British Safety Industry Federation Registered Safety Supplier Scheme) works to counteract counterfeit safety products and ensure companies’ PPE matches the claims of their certification. Being an associate of the BSiF means we: 

• formally commit to selling only certified PPE that matches our safety claims 
• agree to random BSiF audits to verify V12 product conformance
   

Working alongside these organisations mean that our wearers can trust in our footwear’s production as well as performance - every time.
