We have shoes made in Spain and Asia. The Asian factory manufactures the shoes in Fujian province. The factory complies with European standards in all respects, meaning that the workers have a five-day workweek paid for each hour worked and women earn as much as men. The manufacturing company is a certified member of Business Social Compliance (BSCI) - the BSCI Code of Conduct is one of the highest certifications for Fairtrade. Business Social Compliance BSCI was launched in March 2003 by the European foreign trade association Foreign Trade Association (FTA) based in Brussels. The BSCI sees itself as a common monitoring system for implementing or improving social standards in the supplier countries. The BSCI members have committed to this. The factory only has an output of 500 pairs a day, which is extremely low.
