Our services

  • Strategic advice.

    Ndless (pronounced endless) works with our clients in a variety of ways. Our broad expertise spans supply chain transformation, modern slavery and ethical sourcing due diligence, sustainable fibre strategies, certification guidance, policy development, communications and stakeholder engagement. We are agile and understand the complexity and nuance of retail environments.

  • Policy and process design.

    Policy development and operationalisation is the foundation of process change.

    We incorporate whole of business thinking to ensure all stakeholders are considered and transformation sticks. We design policies and implementation guidance as living documents that don’t have the chance to gather dust.

  • Human rights due diligence.

    Compliance with Modern Slavery and Human Rights Due Diligence legislation is more than a tick box exercise.

    Driving real change in eliminating slavery and harmful working conditions requires considered due diligence programmes which deliver credible impact. We are experienced in the implementation of human rights action plans, training, grievance mechanisms and statement development.

  • Regulatory compliance.

    We monitor the development and adoption of human rights and environmental supply chain and product due diligence legislation from around the world.

    Our proprietary regulatory matrix and policy primers provide up to date global compliance requirements from green claims guidelines and chemical legislation to modern slavery and supply chain transparency regulations.

  • Responsible fibre strategy.

    Transitioning towards lower impact fibres requires cross-functional engagement to develop a timebound roadmap that delivers on shared targets.

    We provide strategic support on strategy development and selection of preferred fibre portfolios which meet sourcing imperatives whilst delivering on lower environmental impact and higher social metrics.

  • Certification guidance.

    Navigating third party certifications can be overwhelming.

    We advise on certification selection, advising what each standard addresses and which are best suited to each product portfolio, provide bespoke sourcing, verification and claims compliance manuals and conduct compliance training for internal teams and suppliers.

  • Sustainability claims.

    The risks of making misleading claims and greenwashing is high. Regulators around the world are focused on eliminating broad, generic claims.

    We analyse product level and company claims, conduct gap analyses against local and international regulations, including specific terminology, and advise on claims compliance to mitigate risks of unsubstantiated claims.

  • Living wages.

    Taking action on improved and living wages in product supply chains is complex yet vital in order to deliver on human rights commitments contained in Codes of Conduct, Human Rights and Modern Slavery statements.

    We conduct living wage gap analyses against prevailing international benchmarks to inform wage strategies and pilots in addition to advising on other mechanisms towards improved wages.

  • Responsible Purchasing Practices.

    Reviewing purchasing practices is key to understanding how to address barriers to improved working conditions and wage efforts.

    We provide customised responsible purchasing practice training, policies and implementation manuals based on international best practice frameworks.

  • State of the Nation.

    Designed to equip business leaders and internal stakeholders with a comprehensive, up to date overview and understanding of the prevailing issues affecting the apparel sector, their businesses and suppliers, our State of the Nation presentation provides an overarching look at the social, environmental and regulatory landscape of the fashion industry.

  • Circular design.

    Circularity in its truest form goes beyond using recycled fibres or offering a take back scheme.

    Whilst essential elements, we partner with experts to guide and train on whole of business and product transformation towards circularity.

  • Decarbonisation.

    Climate strategies, footprint calculations, target setting and decarbonisation roadmaps are critical to realise net zero ambitions.

    We partner with experts to provide fit for purpose strategies for operations and supply chains (Scope 1-3).

  • Stakeholder partnerships.

    We enjoy putting good together.

    Holding extensive global relationships spanning the breadth of the industry, we have facilitated various partnerships designed to drive real impact.
