Our Core Ethical Values
At Venatrix Athletica, we are driven by the spirit of making a difference. We believe in ethical business practices and aim to create a positive impact on the world. Our brand is defined by core values such as supporting orphans, upholding fair trade practices, and maintaining a firm stance against sweatshops and discrimination. These principles guide us in our mission to create high-quality, ethically produced female activewear.
Supporting Orphans: Our Core Value
At the core of Venatrix Athletica lies a profound objective: to realise a lifelong dream of building an orphanage where children receive not only the best education but also a comfortable, safe, and loving lifestyle akin to that provided by middle-class parents. We aim to save these children from growing up with a sense of deprivation due to the absence of a family. The heart-wrenching stories of orphaned siblings growing up apart drive our hope to provide an environment where such siblings can stay together.
Driven by our passion for making a difference, we donate 20% of all profits to a charity that offers safe shelter for orphans and victims of domestic abuse. This charity supports not only orphans but also provides care for disabled children and adults abandoned by their families. Unlike other charities where large sum is paid to executives, money donated to this charity is directed towards providing essential resources such as food, education, healthcare, and shelter to children under their care.
This is a significant commitment, and our vision is to create substantial change. However, achieving this change is not possible without the help and support of our customers. Every purchase you make not only enhances your fitness journey but also contributes to our goal. As a small startup, we cannot make a difference on our own, but with your help and continuous support, we can bring about the improvements we aim for. By choosing Venatrix Athletica, you, and all our customers become active participants in our mission to build a better life for these orphans.
Please don’t wait any longer. Support us by purchasing our activewear. Each sale counts!
Upholding Fair Trade Practices
At Venatrix Athletica, we are deeply committed to Fair Trade practices. Our brand is built on a foundation of fairness, solidarity, and mutual respect. It starts with ensuring that every worker involved in the production of our activewear receives fair wages. We cultivate long-term relationships with our partners to ensure that every piece of activewear reflects our commitment to ethical business practices. We only partner with suppliers who share our values and provides safe and humane working conditions for their workers.
We categorically reject child labour and there is absolutely no room for any kind of discrimination. We support sustainable farming and manufacturing processes and go to extra lengths to ensure our complete supply chain adhere to our strict sustainability standards. By choosing our products, you're not only investing in quality activewear but also in the well being and empowerment of workers around the world. Together, we can make a difference, one garment at a time.
No Sweatshops
Venatrix Athletica is committed to ethical production practices. We ensure that all our manufacturing partners adhere to our strict fair labour standards, this guarantees that our production partners provide safe and humane working conditions for all workers involved in the production of our activewear. We go further to ensure our partners do not exploit workers by guaranteeing fair wages.
Venatrix Athletica stands strictly against child labour. We believe in the right of every child to education and a safe childhood, free from the burden of forced labour. This principle is a cornerstone of our vetting process when onboarding a new partner. We endeavour to ensure that our suppliers share our commitment to ethical practices and prioritise workers' welfare.
Through our platform, we aim to raise awareness about the issues of sweatshops and exploitation, encouraging our customers and the wider community to support brands that uphold fair labour standards. Most large brands in Australia sell cheap quality activewear for very low prices, this is made possible due to complete disregard of ethical production. Venatrix Athletica remains steadfast in our pursuit of ethical production and quality products over higher profit margins.
We continuously strive to improve our practices by regularly reviewing our supply chain and seeking ways to enhance our commitment to ethical production and the fight against exploitation. By choosing Venatrix Athletica, you make a conscious decision to support ethical fashion. Help us to continue this drive to spread awareness and stand against the exploitation of workers.
Rejecting Fast Fashion
Even as a small brand, Venatrix Athletica is committed to lead by example and set high standard in the activewear industry, emphasising quality and sustainability over monetary gains.
All our fabrics are OKEO-Tex 100 Standard Certified, and our factories employ processes that minimise off-cuts as much as humanly possible. Also, to avoid the off cuts ending up in landfills, they are either recycled or burned for energy generation.
We recognise that fast fashion significantly contributes to textile waste, leads to increased carbon emissions, and consumes enormous amounts of water for production and dyeing processes. Venatrix Athletica adapts sustainable fashion practices to combat these issues. Our high quality activewear is designed to last multiple seasons, offering better value and reducing the need for frequent replacements.
By choosing Venatrix Athletica, you're supporting a movement towards sustainability and responsible fashion.
Zero Tolerance Towards Discrimination
Venatrix Athletica has a zero-tolerance policy towards discrimination in any form. From our hiring practices to choosing partners, we treat everyone with respect and we judge solely on merit. We invest in the training our employees to promote the importance of our zero-tolerance towards discrimination policy. We treat all customers with equal respect and courtesy. Our commitment to equality extends to every interaction.
We believe everyone, regardless of race, religion, gender, or ethnicity, deserves equal opportunities and fair treatment. The charity we support also exemplifies kindness without any discrimination. Our commitment to equality is also reflected in our supply chain. We vet our partners carefully to ensure that they also implement our values and ethical practices, ensuring fair treatment for all workers.
