. 5 . B C In London, Nepal and across all of our operations, we continue to focus across the entire supply chain ensuring our social, economic and ecological conditions meet international standards. Though a beautiful country, Nepal faces political and social challenges - The welfare of everyone connected with KuSan in Nepal is always front of mind. Trade and Support Since founding KuSan 18 years ago, we continue to work with the same factory growing together, building strong relationships and sharing a mutual vision. We strongly believe that the best way to support our colleagues is through trade and investment, developing skills within the business. We take every possible opportunity to look after the people that make our hats which includes ongoing charitable initiatives following the earthquake of 2015 – safe and happy workers are our most important asset! And by keeping production to one area, we are also doing our bit to keep the KuSan carbon footprint small. Maintaining Standards We are independently audited by a SEDEX approved assessor and are proud to have achieved international social and environmental accreditation. Our UK Charity 2018 Hats need heads and Brain Tumour Research Trust is a charity we’re keen to support, especially as we recently lost a dear family member to this devastating disease. We’ve created a hat for the charity and a percentage of each sale will go to vital research. We hope you’ll be able to support our efforts as we raise funds during the year. Learn more at www.braintumourresearch.org Our all-round drive to keep sustainability and responsible production is at the core of our values. We're glad to say that love and respect are at the heart of every KuSan accessory, as it has always been.
