Focus Area: Ethical Sourcing & Transparency / Working at Deane

Looking Out For Our People

People are what drives our purpose. Our uniforms represent more than just fabric, they are an embodiment of the aspirations and hard work of the individuals who wear them. That’s why we’re working hard to empower the people in our supply chain and create a safe, supportive space for our own staff to thrive. We strive to form a community that aspires for better - better conditions, better practices, better outcomes.
