Supply Chain

All Beckmann products are designed and developed at our headquarters in Kristiansand, Norway, while all production has been based in China since 2024. We work directly with our T1 and main T2 suppliers, supporting transparency and close collaboration.

Two main CMT (Cut, Make, Trim) factories accounted for approximately 90% of our production volume. We prioritize stable relationships with carefully selected suppliers who share our expectations for quality and responsible business practices.



These long-term relationships provide continuity and support a structured approach to responsible production and continuous improvement. Through close follow-up, careful production planning, regular factory visits, third-party assessments and corrective action plans, we work systematically to promote safe, fair and legally compliant working conditions and responsible environmental practices. While we have seen positive progress over time, we recognize that common risks associated with the textile sector in China remain and require continued attention.

Through close follow-up, efficient production planning, and solid risk management, we work systematically to ensure responsible practices at every stage. Combined with regular background checks related to environmental and working conditions, this helps ensure that all our products are manufactured under safe, fair, and legal conditions.

Each year, we publish a Social Report where we share the work we do.

Fair Wear Fundation

To ensure good working conditions and social responsibility in our production, we conduct regular factory visits. 

Since 2020, we have collaborated with Fair Wear Foundation, an organization working to improve working conditions in the textile industry. Fair Wear Foundation plays three key roles for us:

  • Training: Provides factory management and employees with knowledge about guidelines for working conditions and workers' rights. 
  • Factory audits: Conducts independent inspections of conditions at the factories. 
  • Beckmann audit: Evaluates us as a company to ensure we follow up on our commitments.

Through these audits, we gain valuable insight into the working conditions at our suppliers and our own practices. Based on the findings, we identify areas for improvement and develop action plans that help strengthen our efforts for continuous improvement.
