Edun

Edun was founded on a commitment to develop trade with Africa and to encourage others to do the same.

Since its launch, Edun has always sourced globally from various countries both in and out of Africa, including Peru, Tunisia, Tanzania, Kenya, Madagascar, Morocco and most recently China. In 2007, Edun launched the division, Edun Live, a tee-shirt business which is 100% grown and sewn in Africa. The company actively works to increase trade with Africa and it is aiming to have 40% of its fashion collection produced in Africa by 2013.

Wherever Edun operates, it requires all factories to adhere to legal labour and health and safety regulations, as well as good working conditions. Edun engages independent auditors to conduct checks every six months to ensure its code of conduct is being met and works with factory owners to recommend improvements.

Edun continually seeks opportunities in Africa to support, provide trade and visibility for local businesses. In 2010, Edun begun a collaboration with 'Made', a jewellery producer working in Nairobi Kenya, it also works with 'Sawa Shoes' in Cameroon and most recently the 'Crochet Sisters' in Kenya.
