Lucy & Yak has partnered with Fair Wear, an organisation that advances workers’ rights across global supply chains and supports responsible business practices.
The membership marks an “important milestone” in Lucy & Yak’s “ongoing approach to ethical and transparent production,” according to the clothes retailer.
The scheme is set to begin this month, with Fair Wear’s code of labour practices being incorporated into Lucy & Yak’s existing responsible sourcing policy.

The code outlines internationally recognised labour standards, which apply across all workplaces where Lucy & Yak’s products are manufactured.
The fashion brand will work closely with its suppliers to “ensure a shared understanding of the labour standards,” which suppliers will be expected to adhere to.
Lucy & Yak head of sustainability and ethics Kate O’Grady said: “Joining Fair Wear is a big milestone for the fashion brand and we’re proud to take this next step in our responsible sourcing program.
“This collaboration will support us in many ways, from strengthening our human rights due diligence to enabling measurable progress throughout our supply chain.”
