Alongside our in-house compliance team and framework, we are supported by an 80 member global PDS compliance team helping us to adapt to new markets and territories.
At Simple Approach we are proud of the security and reassurance our Compliance team provides through its diligence in maintaining social standards, ensuring strict adherence to labours laws and in the broader execution of its responsibilities.

At Simple Approach, product quality is a core priority. We assist our partner factories in engineering end-to-end quality into our products with the support of more than 50 members of our Technical and Quality Assurance teams.
By focusing on incorporating quality at each stage of the manufacturing process, from garment development through production and beyond, our Technical and Quality Assurance team members provide value to our partner factories, our Clients, and the final Consumer.
The end result is clothing that is exquisitely designed and well-made, with exceptional fit, style, and durability.
