What really matters

Our core values

With Stedman you choose our experience and customer service, but more importantly you choose our core values: quality, ethics, responsible resource management and responsible manufacturing.

All our articles are subject to strict quality controls. With our own quality management team on site, we ensure that our high demands on material and product properties are always met.

We do not use animal products. Our clothing & accessories are made of vegan alternatives to animal-derived materials such as leather, fur, silk, feathers, or bone.

Our polyester made from recycled plastic bottles offers high-quality performance while incorporating recycled materials and helping keep plastic bottles out of landfills and our ocean.

Our textile articles and components have been tested for harmful substances and are therefore harmless for human health, assuring  high product safety.

Our Commitments

Delivering premium apparel requires us to ensure that the materials we source through the supply chain are not just top quality but also ethically and responsibly produced. Environmentally conscious customers rightfully expect exceptional quality apparel, and our team works relentlessly to surpass expectations. We continuously look for responsible and ethical ways to improve our products and processes, and we particularly focus on three areas.

Responsible Sourcing And Supply Chain Transparency

We deeply care about the production of our apparel. Our dedication to integrity and responsibility drives us to be an industry leader, constantly striving for transparency in our supply chain and ensuring that our customers receive nothing short of exceptional products that are ethically sourced.

Our Efforts

Our partners must share our commitment to quality and ensure the integrity, quality and consistency of all products.

We hold ourselves and our suppliers to the same principles, requiring:

Agreements with all our suppliers to regularly review and ensure compliance regarding the prohibition of forced labor. These agreements are renewed and evaluated every two years.
Signed affidavits of origin from all fabric suppliers with every purchase order.
Certificates of origin from all fabric suppliers with every purchase order.
Regular onsite inspections by us and other third parties.

Human rights And

Fair Labor

We are deeply committed to safeguarding human rights throughout our entire manufacturing process, from the moment we collect raw materials to when we deliver our top-quality apparel to our valued customers. Human rights form the foundation of our operations and play a vital role in our ongoing sustainability efforts.

Our Efforts

We implement our high ethical standards of conduct and best quality practices in Europe and around the world.

We strongly value the safety and growth of our employees at every stage in our production process and maintain an open dialogue to ensure continual feedback and constant improvement.
