SKIMS Body, Inc. is dedicated to fostering a global supply chain that prioritizes integrity, transparency, and the respect of human rights at every level of its operations. The company understands that responsible business practices must encompass the entire production process, from the sourcing of raw materials to manufacturing and distribution, ensuring that ethical standards are upheld beyond the final product. This commitment is aligned with globally recognized laws and frameworks designed to prevent forced labor, human trafficking, and other exploitative practices. At the heart of these principles is the belief that all labor must be voluntary, workplace environments must be safe, and every individual involved in the production process must be treated with fairness, dignity, and respect.

This core commitment is supported by a robust governance system that ensures continuous oversight and accountability throughout the supply chain. SKIMS employs a comprehensive approach to monitor supplier practices, including regular assessments, third-party audits, internal compliance checks, and certification requirements. By implementing these systems, the company can identify potential issues early on, promote transparency across operations, and maintain consistent ethical standards with its supply partners.

An essential aspect of this ethical framework is the detailed process of supplier evaluation and verification. Before a supplier is approved for collaboration, they undergo an extensive audit by independent, certified organizations. These audits assess various labor conditions, management practices, and compliance with ethical standards. Importantly, approved suppliers are not only evaluated at the beginning of the partnership but are also subject to periodic reviews to ensure they maintain compliance over time. This continuous oversight helps guarantee that the company’s supply chain remains aligned with SKIMS’ values, even as relationships evolve. The evaluation process may also extend to secondary suppliers to ensure that ethical standards are maintained throughout all tiers of the supply network.

During the audit process, various human rights and workplace conditions are thoroughly examined. This includes assessing wages, benefits, working hours, occupational health and safety measures, non-discrimination policies, and the freedom of association for workers. Recruitment processes are also reviewed to confirm that labor is freely chosen and not subject to coercion or deception. Should any issues arise during these evaluations, the supplier is required to implement corrective action plans within a specific timeline. SKIMS closely monitors progress and conducts follow-up assessments to ensure that improvements are effectively carried out. Suppliers who fail to comply with required standards or show insufficient progress may be removed from the approved supplier list, ensuring that only those upholding the highest ethical standards are part of the supply network.

All SKIMS business partners are required to comply with anti-slavery, anti-trafficking, and other relevant laws, including trade restrictions and sanctions. Suppliers must maintain comprehensive documentation demonstrating adherence to ethical labor standards. Violations of these obligations are considered severe breaches of the company’s ethical and contractual agreements, which may lead to the termination of the business relationship.

This commitment to ethical practices extends internally, as well. SKIMS holds its employees, contractors, and affiliated personnel to the same high standards of conduct. Any confirmed violations involving unethical labor practices or exploitation can result in disciplinary measures, such as retraining, suspension, or termination. To ensure that any concerns regarding unethical practices are addressed appropriately, SKIMS offers confidential reporting channels in multiple languages, ensuring that individuals can raise issues safely. A strict non-retaliation policy is enforced to protect those who report in good faith.

Training and education are central to maintaining high ethical standards throughout the organization. Employees involved in sourcing, procurement, and supplier management receive ongoing education to recognize risks and respond effectively to potential violations. Suppliers are also encouraged to participate in training programs that reinforce responsible labor practices and regulatory expectations, fostering a shared commitment to ethical operations across the entire supply chain.

The SKIMS Compliance Team is dedicated to continuously reviewing and updating policies to ensure alignment with changing laws, industry standards, and global risks. By viewing ethical oversight as a dynamic process rather than a one-time requirement, SKIMS aims to build a supply chain characterized by accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement. Each product reflects not only meticulous attention to design and quality but also the company’s ongoing commitment to promoting responsible business practices and safeguarding human rights across every stage of production.
