OECD Due diligence
At Le Nouveau Chef, we take pride in conducting our business responsibly, adhering to the strict standards set by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for Responsible Supply Chains in the Garment & Footwear Sector.
We believe in treating everyone with fairness and respect. Our dedication to the OECD Due Diligence means we focus on key areas to ensure ethical practices in the garment and footwear industry:
