We invite you to explore how Ibex England is blending contemporary design with a forward-thinking approach in everything we do.
A Promise of Transparency
Sustainably Sourced Leather
The leather we use in our belts is carefully selected for its quality, durability, and ethical provenance. We are proud to source our leather from suppliers who are accredited by the Leather Working Group (LWG).
This ensures that our leather comes from responsible sources, with strict attention to minimising the environmental impact. The LWG’s standards provide independent assurance that the leather used in our products adheres to the highest levels of sustainability and traceability.
Ethical Manufacturing Partnerships
Our commitment to ethical production extends to the partnerships we have across our supply base. We collaborate with manufacturers who have undergone Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audits (SMETA), one of the world’s leading frameworks for ensuring fair and responsible business practices.
This comprehensive audit evaluates labor standards, health and safety practices, environmental impact, and business ethics, ensuring that every partner we work with is aligned with our values of fairness and transparency.
Working Better
Our dedication to quality is reflected in our alignment with the ISO 9001 standard for quality management, which we are proud to have achieved.
This external oversight ensures our processes are in line with industry standards and expectations. Our quality journey includes maintaining a robust Quality Management System (QMS), training staff to uphold consistent standards, understanding and exceeding customer expectations, and fostering a culture of ongoing improvement.
