Partly verified: what this means

Australian label making healthcare and corporate uniforms.

NNT Uniforms can't show that the workers who make its products in Bangladesh and Indonesia earn a living wage, which workers there are very unlikely to.

Also worth knowing

It has no full independent audit.

Why it's graded Lacks transparency

  • Not met: Meets 1 of 6 Good requirements.
  • Holds the grade back: It has 2 red flags: no evidence of a living wage and unaudited production in high-risk countries. Two or more red flags means a poor grade.
  • It isn't Harm on record, because there's no serious confirmed problem on its record.
  • Lacks transparency is still a poor grade: in supply chains like this, workers who can't be seen to be treated fairly are usually underpaid or unprotected.

How grades are decided

Good requirements 1 of 6

  • Not met: Pays a living wage, or holds a strong fair-pay certificationLiving wage: no evidence
  • Not met: Respects worker rightsMost of its products are made in countries such as Bangladesh and China, where unions are heavily restricted, and it has no full supply chain audit.
  • Not met: Supply chain independently audited or certified, or at least 80% made in countries with strong labour standards
  • Met: No child or forced labour findings or links
  • Not met: Names the factories or farms that make its products, or is fully certified by a scheme that holds and audits that list
  • Not met: High-risk raw materials (cotton) traced or certified, or not a major part of its rangeNot traced or certified: cotton

Red flags 2

  • Red flag: No evidence it pays a living wage
  • Red flag: Made mostly in countries with poor worker rights, without a full independent audit of its supply chain

Evidence

What we found

  • Signed the International Accord on garment factory safety
  • Modern slavery statement
  • Doesn't show where its cotton comes from. Cotton is linked to forced labour in Xinjiang and Turkmenistan, and child labour in several growing regions, so it can't be graded Good until it traces or certifies it.

Research notes NNT Uniforms is a Workwear Group label owned by Wesfarmers (part of Bunnings Group since July 2026), making uniforms for healthcare, corporate and hospitality staff. Most garments are made overseas by independent suppliers; Wesfarmers names Australia, Bangladesh, China, Fiji, India, Indonesia and Vietnam as Workwear Group sourcing countries, but gives no shares or factory list. It signs the International Accord, uses Sedex audits, checks for unauthorised subcontracting and runs a worker helpline. It scored 62/100 in the 2026 Ethical Fashion Report, well above average, but has no public living wage commitment. Some NNT fabrics use recycled polyester.
