We are committed to ensuring that our products are manufactured in a fair and humane way.
Working with OCEANSAPART requires an unwavering commitment from all suppliers to uphold fair and humane working conditions, without exception.
We are partnered with the Fair Wear Foundation and amfori BSCI to ensure that our products are manufactured under fair labour conditions.
Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) audits are carried out by independent experts in our production facilities, while the Fair Wear Foundation team supports us in our Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) journey.
Our sustainable product team maintains an ongoing dialogue with suppliers to address social and environmental aspects of production, and come up with corrective action plans. We also conduct on-site visits to engage with our suppliers on the ground. Read our official Human Rights Due Diligence statement.

Through our Code of Conduct, we ensure that our manufacturers adhere to rigorous standards, promoting ethical practices, sustainability, and social responsibility throughout the production process.
Our products are manufactured globally, with partner suppliers currently located in eight different countries.
Our products are designed by our team at our head office in Berlin and developed in close cooperation with our local production partners. We currently produce in Turkey, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Italy, Serbia and Czech Republic. Our aim is to maximise the synergies of our international collaboration, ensuring high quality, impeccable fit, and distinctive design.
While we are actively working to diversify our supply chain, we rely on maintaining close proximity between our raw material manufacturers and sewing factories. Criteria such as craftsmanship, the use of modern production machines, and commitment to high social standards are decisive factors in selecting our cooperation partners.
We use recycled and vegan materials in our products, always with a focus on maintaining high quality standards.
We are continuously striving to increase the percentage of recycled materials in our products while embracing the latest innovations in the field.
We are committed to achieving this without compromising on the functionality, comfort and durability of our products.
