Contented workers make better knitwear… we know this because right from the very conception of KuSan, our philosophy has always been to work honestly and ethically with our factories in Nepal. We seek to ensure the integrity of all products bearing the KuSan label and take our social and corporate responsibility very seriously. All staff involved with KuSan receives good wages and work fair hours in a healthy and safe environment.

We’ll use whatever transport around to make sure you get your warm stuff!

Sufficient breaks, free staff food and the encouragement of collective bargaining and freedom of association further instil a sense of self worth and pride. We like to think that our hand knitters are the best in the world – many have been with us since KuSan started. You can be assured that there is absolutely NO child labour associated with KuSan. Outside the workplace, each year we contribute to community initiatives within the Kathmandu Valley.

KuSan is also trying to do its bit for the environment. We ship our products by sea and use air freight as a last resort when seasonal deliveries are needed in time to meet our customers’ deadlines. The fact that our accessories are hand crafted goes a long way, but we cannot combat the emissions we create transporting our products on our own, so we make an annual contribution to Carbon Footprint. Pledges to Carbon Footprint Offsets are used to support projects that will reduce carbon dioxide emissions and alleviate global warming. These funds support projects for energy efficiency & sustainable energy technology development. Carbon Footprint supports a range of sustainable energy projects around the world, including wind power, solar generation, and biomass. These projects also provide jobs in disadvantaged regions of the World. If you want to find out more and do your bit to help save the planet, please visit www.carbonfootprint.com
