Taking care of everyone we work with is important to us. That’s why we carefully select our global network
of suppliers, factories and partners. Chosen for their expertise and ability to source the finest materials,
they also meet progressive social and environmental standards, supporting us to deliver the exceptional
quality we're known for.
This is more than just a list of instructions; it represents our shared
responsibility to contribute to a positive collaborative partnership,
while helping to improve the working conditions and wellbeing of local
communities.
CHANGE FOR THE BETTER
We are also making sure we're an inclusive business. Fostering responsible recruitment to ensure
that our workplace comprises of people from all backgrounds and experiences.
But it's not just within Hobbs that we're looking to make a difference.
For years, we've proudly supported Smart Works and Wellbeing of Women,
two charities that help to change women's lives for the better. We also
actively encourage our stores and employees to support charities by
fundraising or volunteering.
