OUTERKNOWN PROMOTES TRANSPARENCY WITH PUBLIC RELEASE OF GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN
Pro surfer Kelly Slater’s menswear brand, Outerknown, now a year old, has publicly released its global supply chain, with full transparency, on the brand’s website – a rarity within the industry.
While other large, corporate brands have listed their supply chains in the past – Outerknown is the first to do so through story telling on their website, going into each of their factories and exposing them to consumers in an attempt to increase awareness and educate both the consumer and industry on the importance of sustainable product development.
Outerknown has released specific details on its site telling the story of the history and relationship of each of the following suppliers: Bergman Rivera (Serflex S.A.C) –Lima, Peru; Chenfeng (Jintan) Apparel – Jiangsu Province, China; Hong Ho Mexico – Valladolid Mexico; Smart Shirts (Lanka) Limited – Siri Lanka; South Island Garments – Penang, Malasia; and World Textile Sourcing (Corceli S.A.C.) – Chorrillos, Lima.
