At Kingly we work actively to improve society, protect the environment and enhance the common good of all. We have a code and it’s based on the 6 pillars of Kingly:

5. Core Values

5. Transparency
We show our customers what happens behind the order; we expose our ethical and earth friendly supply chains
1. Planet
We work for continually reduced environmental impacts, validated by respected certifications and third-party auditors. For example, we have a zero waste socks knitting facility. We send textile offcuts to a recycling plant. It comes back to us upcycled into new yarn that we can use for knitting more socks. The ground water is free of oil: the oil that runs our machines is GOTS approved. And thanks to our compliance with ISO 14001, a separator holds back the oil so we can dispose of it responsibly
2. People
Through our Smeta Pillar 4 Audit and our approved factory, we have improved safety and benefits for all employees. In addition, we run a rewards & bonus system for all that makes this company feel like family. This ethos extends outwards to our supply chains, where our suppliers are committed to the same values as us. Each employ ee and all our partners sign a Code of Conduct so we all share and follow the same work ethic.
3. Marketplace
We are honest and transparent in everything we do. We demonstrate respect for our staff, our customers and all with whom we do business. We recognise customer service as a key foundation for success. We make sure it is a consistent thread throughout our operations. We strive continually to improve our offering, never forgetting that we are champions of truly ethical sustainability.
4. Community
We support the greater good of society. We support the homeless, the under privileged, charities, and hospitals. We are anonymous. We don’t publish our donations on social media because we don’t need the recognition. We donate socks and apparel, sponsor events, get involved with the community and are always open to any new ventures.
5. Core Values
We strive to offer the best value for your money based on our commitment to supply earth friendly products. High quality products, good relationships and great customer service is what we aim for. We care about our customers. To make sure we deliver on our promises we select talented, passionate and committed members of staff. Integrity and equality mean the earth to us. To build long term business relationships we strive continually to improve our standards of excellence, organization and processes. The end game is a win-win relationship for all.
6. Trancparency
We are the exact opposite to ‘Greenwashing’. We show our customers what happens behind the order; we expose our ethical and earth friendly supply chains, we issue third party transaction certificates and welcome scrutiny of our accreditations. Everything is backed up by third party evidence.
To this end we are part of the BCOME Cradle to Grave Sustainability platform where we are able to provide our customers with accurate data quickly and safely. The BCOME Database is a private sector database that brings together more than 5,000 aggregate data from the textile sector. BCOME validates, classifies and verifies each of the sectoral data in its database in units of mass (kg).
The methodology of this sustainability platform includes procedures that make it possible to evaluate the degree of sustainability of a product from the four areas of IMPACT, PLANET, PEOPLE, TRANSPARENCY & CIRCULARITY.
It is built from a 36QQ vision of sustainability, understanding that behind each product there is a universe of development and processes with environmental, social, economic and ethical implications – and that they must be treated with equal importance. The intelligent QR Code on our products displays the information!
We are proud that we have come this far but we must not be complacent. We always seek new ways to pro-actively move forward and maximize our value to society and the environment. There is no Planet B.
Kingly.
Not for everyone.
It’s for businesses that:
- Demand verified sustainability
- Require EU production and ethical assurance
- Seek measurable CSR outcomes
