CODE OF CONDUCT

At ZONE, we believe that every product we create has an impact. We are committed to reducing this impact on the environment and supporting the communities where we live and work. Our relationships with suppliers, employees, and customers are built on mutual respect, transparency, and a shared commitment to high ethical standards. This ZONE Code of Conduct ("Code") reflects our values and expectations, and we require that all ZONE staff, as well as our suppliers and their staff, adhere to these standards.

KEY PRINCIPLES

ZONE’s success depends on the strength of our partnerships that prioritise sustainability, fair labour practices, and environmental responsibility. Every ZONE supplier and employee is expected to follow these principles, which we monitor through regular evaluations. We value partnerships based on transparency, trust, and collaboration, which foster a responsible and sustainable supply chain.
Employment Standards

Suppliers and staff must follow fair employment practices, respecting workers' rights to safe working conditions, fair compensation, and freedom from discrimination, harassment, or forced labor. Child labor is strictly prohibited.

Health and Safety

ZONE suppliers and staff must provide a safe, clean, and healthy workplace for all employees, complying with local laws and creating an environment that prevents accidents and injuries.

Environmental Responsibility:

We expect suppliers to actively work on minimising environmental impacts by using sustainable materials and innovative practices, such as renewable energy and low impact dyes.

Work Hours and Compensation

Staff and suppliers must adhere to local laws regarding working hours and provide compensation that meets or exceeds legal standards.

Transparency and Traceability

Full transparency is essential. Suppliers must submit to inspections and provide access to production facilities and records, ensuring compliance with ZONE’s standards.

Continuous Improvement

ZONE expects all partners to continuously improve their operations, taking immediate corrective action if issues arise. Failure to comply may result in termination of business relations.

Community Support

We prioritise social development in the communities where we operate. By aligning with suppliers who invest in education and infrastructure, ZONE contributes to a positive impact locally and globally. From encouraging more women into the workplace in Pakistan to championing sustainable fashion, we believe that no one is too small to make a positive change.

ZONE by Lydia is a proud member of 1% for the Planet. We take responsibility for the health of our planet by donating 1% of annual sales to environmental nonprofits creating positive change.
