Working conditions

The non-governmental organization Berne Declaration in 2010 compared through surveys and internet research at 77 fashion labels the standards of working conditions in production countries. Strellson was thereby placed in the middle category "entry " of five categories.

Frequently voiced criticisms concern the lack of transparency of the company and the secrecy especially in the purchasing policy and the working conditions and generally poor working conditions and wages.

The company produces the products for Strellson in Mauritius, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Bulgaria, Croatia, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia and Turkey. (As of 2010) A survey of the Berne Declaration shows that about 25 % of the products are produced in our own factories in Bulgaria and Portugal, and the proportion from the Far East is about 10 %.
