DTRT Apparel Group

DTRT Apparel Group, founded in 2014, is a sustainable and responsible apparel manufacturing company based in West Africa. The company's mission is encapsulated in its slogan, "Sustainable and responsible apparel manufacturing in West Africa." DTRT Apparel aims to offer extremely cost-competitive, high-quality, and sustainable apparel manufacturing services that meet the needs and expectations of global apparel brands. The company, also known as "Do The Right Thing" (DTRT), is committed to creating a for-profit business model that focuses on sustainability and providing well-paying jobs for over 5,000 employees, the majority of whom are women with little to no formal education or previous experience. DTRT ensures that its workforce receives wages well above the country's minimum wage, free health care, a daily meals allowance, and continuous training and educational opportunities, marking a significant effort towards social compliance and responsibility within the industry. One of the distinguishing factors of DTRT Apparel is its ability to ship over 1,000,000 units each month at a lower cost than competitors, maintaining extremely high quality and social compliance standards. This achievement has attracted the attention of investors, leading to a Venture Round investment on 16 August 2019 by Verod Capital Management and Red Bull. DTRT Apparel Group operates in the Manufacturing and Apparel industries and signifies a progressive trend in the global apparel manufacturing landscape, particularly in the context of sustainability and social responsibility.
