Responsible Sourcing & Ethical Manufacturing
Salamanca Market uses an Australian‑owned, family‑run wholesale supplier of reusable bags called GX Bags.
Responsible sourcing is central to the way GX Bags operates. Its manufacturing supply chain is supported by independent audits and recognised international frameworks, with a strong focus on ethical working conditions, sustainability, and consistent quality.
Responsible Materials
Global Recycled Standard (GRS) & Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)
The supplier supports established frameworks such as the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). These standards help guide the responsible use, handling, and traceability of recycled and organic materials throughout the supply chain, supporting transparency from raw materials to finished product.
Ethical Supply Chain Practices
Sedex
The supplier uses the Sedex platform to support ethical sourcing and supply chain transparency. This approach helps maintain a strong focus on fair working conditions, responsible employment practices, and ongoing oversight across manufacturing partners.
Quality & Consistency
ISO 9001:2015
Production processes aligned with ISO 9001:2015 quality management principles support consistent quality outcomes and reliable production standards. This is particularly important for repeat manufacturing runs and ongoing wholesale supply.
Hands‑On Oversight
Alongside formal standards and assessments, the supplier prioritises hands‑on oversight of quality and production conditions. Ongoing management involvement and practical checks help maintain strong standards and consistent outcomes over time.
Together, these standards and assessments support the suppliers commitment to responsible sourcing, ethical manufacturing, and quality across the supply chain.
