It is of upmost importance to Free Spirit to ensure our products are manufactured in an ethical way.  

We personally visit our factory in South India, where our t-shirts are made, witnessing everything from the raw cotton being spun into yarn, made into fabric, dyed, washed, printed and sewn, which gives us greater control in ensuring the quality of our product and also a highly ethical work environment.

 

The textiles industry is an imperative source of income in South India, and the skilled professionals in our factories are as passionate about the garments they produce as we are.  Equally environmentally conscious, we work together to ensure all stages of production are carried out within 10km of eachother, cutting down on unnecessary shipping, fuel and energy consumption.

 

Production Standards

Our supplier's production facilities have been rated among the highest in the industry for quality by demanding inspection teams from prominent companies. Our suppliers consistently update and improve their manufacturing facilities, making full use of all the technological advancements in the textile industry.

Free Spirit recognizes its responsibilities to workers for the conditions under which its products are made and that these responsibilities extend to all workers producing products or services for Free Spirit. We believe that good workplace standards, decent health and safety requirements, fair pay and conditions, and care for the environment are essential for every business.

We value all of our employees, and set the same high standard for their working conditions as we set for the high quality of our products.  All our factories Our factories are GOTS (Global Organic Textile Fibre) certified and Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX certified, ensuring no toxic dyes or chemicals are used.

 

Why Organic?

Organic cotton is made from natural seeds, and there is no use of pesticides or other harmful chemicals, making them safer for the skin. Crops are rotated from one soil to another and the nutrients retain water for longer, requiring less irrigation and using much less water.

By choosing organic methods we are investing not only in the water conservation but also farmer livelihoods

Cutting Down Our Environmental Impact

Free Spirit is always looking for new ways to cut down our company waste and reduce our impact on the environment.

Any wrapping used for bulk shipping are bio-degradable and we re-use those we have where possible, saving a huge amount of needless rubbish every month. All packaging used to ship individual orders, including swing tags and wrapping are from recycled card and paper.  

We have recently introduced our new shipping partner The Better Packaging Co, who provide our post bags - each one is entirely compostable and will turn to compost within 90 days!

We believe these practices should be an important part of the future of every business and we hope that our customers feel the same way.

 

Reducing Plastic

This is something we are extremely passionate about and work hard to achieve!

Our new range of Eco-leggings are made from recycled plastic bottles!  Approximately 32 plastic bottles are saved from our oceans or landfill for every pair made!

Helping Others

We are proudly supporting the following two causes which are close to our hearts:

The HOPE Foundation is a non-profit charity based in Kolkata, India.  They help children living in poverty on the streets by giving them homes, education, food & healthcare.  Not just by giving hand outs but supporting them throughout their whole young life to enable them to learn and grow to support themselves and giving them a passport out of poverty - a future with Hope.  Free Spirit are donating 3 months worth of education materials for each child for every t-shirt sold.  We are also working on further projects with the Hope Foundation so watch this space!

Fighting Chance
 
We are honoured to be collaborating with a Sydney based charity - Fighting Chance, a social enterprise that provide employment to people with a disability, paid at award wage.
 
They harness the skills of a diverse and unique workforce to deliver all kinds of services to small businesses, such as Free Spirit (including shipping your orders!) and at the same time allow people that may find it hard to gain employment in a standard work environment, to have a fighting chance.
 
After visiting them earlier this year at their Frenchs Forest, Sydney base we were overwhelmed with the amazing work that they do, and what they are able to offer.
 
They work hard to identify the challenges, hurdles and barriers faced by people with disability in their everyday lives and then design, build and help sustainable social entreprise businesses to bridge these gaps.  To date they have impacted the lives of 250 people and now have 4 work hubs across Sydney.  Read more about their amazing work.
