Ethical production in Fiji

Bimby + Roy says its intimates are designed in Australia and ethically made in Fiji. The brand says the factory was the first solar-powered garment facility in the region. A third-party profile also says the factory is known for ethical working conditions and local charity work, and that it is audited on labour, health and safety, environment, and business ethics. This points to a supply chain that tries to link production with cleaner energy and worker standards.

Uses lower-impact printing

The brand says it uses sublimation printing, a process that transfers a design onto fabric without ink dyes going into waterways. It also says paper used during production is often donated to recycling plants in Fiji. This suggests an effort to reduce water pollution and reuse production waste where possible.

Small batches to cut waste

Bimby + Roy says it makes products in conscious batches and uses a just-in-time method, which means pieces are produced closer to when they are needed. The brand says this helps reduce over-ordering and waste. It also says some orders are sent directly from Fiji to customers, which it presents as a way to lower its carbon footprint and support local jobs.

Childcare support at factory

In 2019, with help from the Australian Government, the manufacturer opened a childcare centre next to the factory. Fees were subsidised by the employer so parents could keep children close during work hours. The centre later closed during COVID-19, but the brand says it hopes it can reopen. This is a social action linked to worker support and family care.

Uses certified fabrics

The brand says its cotton range uses organic cotton and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 materials. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is a textile safety label that checks for harmful substances in fabrics and dyes. The brand also says its Bimby Originals use recycled polyester and spandex. These material choices suggest an effort to use safer and more resource-conscious inputs.
