Factory code and audits

ThreeByOne says all suppliers must sign a Code of Conduct based on the ETI Base Code and ILO conventions. In plain terms, that means the company sets basic rules for labour rights, health and safety, and environmental care. It also says it checks factories with independent third-party audits every one to two years, with SMETA as the preferred audit method. SMETA is a common audit framework used to review labour, health, safety, and ethical trading practices.

More traceable cotton

The company says it has been mapping more of its supply chain, including some fabric mills and the origin of raw materials. It says it has gained more visibility down to spinner level and, in some cases, to where cotton is grown. It also says this traceability work will continue through supplier engagement and the use of more certified fabrics and yarns. Better traceability can help a brand spot risks in its supply chain and check where materials come from.

Water reuse in production

ThreeByOne says the water used in its manufacturing process is treated and reused, with no contaminated sewage discharged. It says 30% of the water is recycled for immediate reuse in the laundry, and that it is aiming for 50% within 12 months. The rest is sent to an external facility for further treatment before release back into the public water grid. This is a water-management step meant to reduce waste and pressure on local water systems.

Safer materials and chemicals

The company says it works to remove hazardous substances from its products and supply chain. Its suppliers must follow a Chemical Management Policy and a Restricted Substances List aligned with the AFIRM RSL, which sets limits for chemicals that should not be in finished products. It also says it asks suppliers to work toward removing priority chemicals listed in the ZDHC MRSL, a list used by the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals programme to cut harmful chemical use in textile production.

Lower-impact materials

ThreeByOne says it uses Australian grown cotton, GOTS and organic cotton across its denim and apparel ranges. GOTS, or the Global Organic Textile Standard, is a certification for organic fibres and stricter processing rules. The company also says it uses leather only from Leather Working Group medal-rated tanneries, and that some products include recycled leather, recycled cotton, and recycled polyester. These material choices are presented as part of its effort to reduce environmental impact.

Circular design steps

The brand says it is beginning to explore circularity, which means designing products and materials so they can be reused, repaired, or recycled more easily. It says it has started making back patches on all jeans from recycled leather and has begun adding recycled cotton and recycled polyester into fabric blends. These are early steps rather than a full circular system, but they show the company is trying to reduce reliance on virgin raw materials.
