At the end of each calendar year, the progress that the brands are making in the areas of environment and labour are translated into scorecards. These scorecards cover a period of one year, from the 1st of January until the 31st of December.
Only the scorecards of brands that were a member of MADE-BY during that entire period are published.
For Claudia Sträter the first scorecards will cover the year 2009 and will be published in 2010.
Claudia Sträter and MADE-BY signed a partnership by the end of 2008 in order to make the collection of Claudia Sträter more sustainable, step by step. In December 2008 this partnership was started by conducting an extended workshop that was attended by
not only sourcing managers, but also designers, marketing managers and the director of Claudia Sträter.
In this workshop we defined goals, targets and activities to reach the sustainability targets: In 2009 the focus will be on sourcing sustainable yarns for the spring / summer collection of 2010. Additionally a lot of attention will be given to improving the social circumstances in the sewing facilities outside the so-called ‘low risk’ countries (see social policy in developed countries). These sewing facilities will be supported to reach the desired social circumstances compliant to the BSCI standard.
