ABOUT

1,900 STORES


EM PLO YEES

PASSION! COMMITMENT! TEAM SPIRIT!

Takko Fashion is one of the largest fashion

discounters in Europe! With our strategic

orientation as a Smart Discounter, we sustainably

build upon this position and continue to grow. To

this end, it is largely the people behind the brand,

our dedicated employees, who have shaped the

face of Takko Fashion over the past 36 years.

Nearly 18,000 people work in different depart-

ments at Takko Fashion: in our headquarters, our

individual logistics centres, our own acquisition

and country offices, and of course in our stores.

Our need for qualified salespeople and managers

is constantly growing, because we are expanding

rapidly and are continuously creating new jobs.

As an employer, we at Takko Fashion utilise flat

hierarchies and an expansive personnel support

concept. We especially value the promotion of

younger employees, because well-educated

employees from our own ranks are invaluable.

We think in the long term and offer a variety of

educational opportunities. Our goal is to create

the optimal career pathway for young people

who want to be a part of Takko Fashion. And

the numbers speak for themselves! Our above-

average acceptance rate shows that we are

promoting trainees the correct way.

Takko Fashion stands for openness and fun on

the job: we care about convictions and ideas

so that we can go forward together faster. With

various promotions in our stores we offer our

employees a creative challenge every year, and

the opportunity to win a great event. These

internal activities strengthen team spirit and

create a sense of community within the Takko

Fashion family.

In order to further promote this positive cor-

porate culture, we place special emphasis on the

satisfaction of our employees in different depart-

ments and all countries in which we are active.

THIS IS THE FUTURE!With our internal Takko Fashion Academy, we

offer our employees an extensive range of se-

minars and training sessions for trainees and

managers alike. This helps our employees hone

their skills and knowledge, and keep up with the

latest developments.


Experience it to believe it !

Social and ecological responsibility are

important pillars of our corporate policy. We at

Takko Fashion are responsible for our customers,

our employees, the workers at our production

facilities, and the environment. That is why we

place great value on sustainability and quality in

the production of our clothing. As a member of

the Fur Free Retailer programme, we also avoid

using animal fur.

Before our textiles reach our stores and online

shop, they undergo thorough quality checks.

The products are first tested in the production

countries. We also examine them in our internal

Department for Quality Control in Germany. In

doing so we inspect the physical features like

colourfastness, seam stretch, or measurement

changes from washing. Certified companies

hired by us also monitor adherence to the

parameters of hazardous substances.

Because this issue is so important to us, we have

made our internal parameter more rigid than is

required by law.

We sell our clothing with a good conscience.

Our products are only manufactured in tested

production facilities. During audits the factories

are inspected for safety, working conditions,

and much more. Only those who meet our strict

standards can produce for us.

Many of our products, primarily children's wear and underwear, are Oeko-Tex certified and thus comply with very high quality standards. We also provide GOTS-certified products, mainly in newborn clothing.

OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100

Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 was introduced in 1992

and is a globally consistent, independent auditing

and certification system for raw, interim, and end

products in the textile industry as well as equipment

materials used to produce them. All components of

the tested products must pass all tests to receive

certification.

QUALITY

SOCIAL AND SUSTAINABLE


GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)

GOTS is the world's leading standard for eco-

logical and socially responsible textile pro-

duction. Certified products consist of at least 70

per cent organically produced natural fibres and

comply with strict environmental requirements.

From the procurement of organically produced,

natural materials to environmentally and socially

responsible manufacturing.

It's important to us that our customers can quickly

tell which products meet which standards. That

is why we have developed a new quality label:

„My Favourite Piece by Takko Fashion“

This label stands for select raw materials, ma-

terials tested for hazardous substances, com-

fortable fits, and monitored social standards.

Every product that meets these quality criteria and

has also been certified by Oeko-Tex® Standard

100 or GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)

receives our quality label (My Favourite Piece by

Takko Fashion). This way, our customers can tell

right away which products meet our highest of

quality standards.

WE THINK SUSTAINABLY!

WE ACCEPT SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY!

In our point of view, entrepreneurially successful

and sustainable conduct should always go

hand in hand. That is why we try to optimise our

processes so that no extra strain is placed on the

environment.

By using standardised heat pump systems and

installing emission-friendly LED lamps in most of

our stores, we try to conserve energy.

Our distribution centres in Telgte, Schnelldorf,

Winsen, and Senec (Slovakia) have also switched

over to LED lighting. The German Sustainable

Building Council even awarded our logistics centre

in Winsen, constructed in 2011, Gold certification

as a "Green Building" for its sustainable structure

and building style.

We have also been powering all of our stores

in the Netherlands with green energy for some

years now.

In order to meet our own high standards when

it comes to working conditions and social

responsibility, we have developed a binding Code

of Conduct for working with our producers and

vendors. Since 2011 we have also been a member

of the Fair Wear Foundation, an independent

non-profit committed to improving workplace

conditions in the clothing and textile industry.

Code of Conduct

Our Code of Conduct regulates fair treatment of

workers in the production countries, and formulates

standards for good workplace conditions in the

production facilities. The stipulations of the Code

of Conduct are based on the International Labour

Organisation (ILO) Agreement and the applicable

standards of the United Nations.


A MATTER CLOSETO OUR HEART

We want to gradually improve the working

conditions of the producers' and vendors'

employees. That is why we regularly conduct our

own as well as external audits in the factories,

some of which are unannounced. These audits

allow us to precisely monitor progress within the

factories. Furthermore, we offer and pay for a

Workers Education Programme for employees

at the production facilities so that the workers

have the opportunity to partake in these training

sessions. This makes it possible for them to work

with us in improving working conditions.

For example, in the past the association has

promoted scholastic and professional education

for children in Pakistan and Romania. "Takko

hilft" e.V. also wants to lend a hand to children in

Germany, the country where Takko Fashion was

founded and where it continues to be based.

That is why, for example, the association directly

supports schools, curricular projects, and

child-care centres with donations, without any

complications. "Takko hilft" e.V. also entertains

partnerships with other associations, such as

skate-aid, Kinderglück and Kinderlachen, and

helps them realise their own projects.

Takko School

One of our labours of love is the Takko School

in Tirupur, southern India, where boys and girls

from socially disadvantaged families have been

taught since 2008. Nearly 200 children currently

attend the school. They all receive free instruction

and meals, and can obtain a recognised diploma

from the Takko School.

The well-trained teachers provide the stu-

dents with diverse, high-quality instruction.

Standardised school uniforms create a sense of

community, regardless of social and religious

background. There is a large courtyard and

athletic grounds for breaks. The modern class-

rooms and a computer room, with enough PCs

for multimedia learning, provide the students

with an optimal learning environment.

Thanks to our Takko School, the boys and girls

from the Tirupur region have a solid foundation to

start a professional future, and thus the opportunity

for an independent, self-determined life.


„Takko hilft“ e.V.

Social commitment is a firm component of Takko

Fashion's corporate philosophy. This belief resulted

in the founding of the association "Takko hilft"

in 2004. Through this non-profit, independent

initiative, Takko Fashion employees volunteer

their time to directly and easily support facilities

like institutions for children and adolescents.

The association focuses on two main issues: the

development of children and adolescents through

education, and support for people in need. The

latter also places special emphasis on children and

adolescents.
