Benevolentia exists to counteract exploitative working conditions in the garment trade, by making high quality clothing in an ethical way.
We're based in Bangalore, India, where the quality of tailoring is high, but wages are unfortunately low.
This results in skilled workers feeling they have no option but to work up to 16 hours per day, often sacrificing the right to feel safe and secure in their workplace, to keep food on their table.
As an ethically capitalist business, we see this as a failing - but one we can address.
So, to our team we offer:
- Stable employment hours
- Market-leading wages
- Professional development opportunities
- Social assistance with meals, sanitation, accommodation, medical help and schooling as needed.
By becoming the most desirable place to work, we attract the best talent; as the most talented team in Bangalore we offer our customers:
- High Quality
- Creative Individuality
- Comfort
- Style
- Variety
- Satisfaction
Fair Pay
We pay every member of our supply chain a living wage, because a days work should be fairly rewarded.
Fair Hours
The health and wellbeing of our people come before everything. Our shifts are no longer than 9 hours, with 3 paid breaks
Respect
Respect costs nothing, but is invaluable.
We ensure that every member of our team feels safe, respected and able to do their best, at home and at work.
To that end, we provide meals and accommodation as needed.
Equality
We don't judge based on where you're from, who you love, or who you pray to. Every human is equally precious, so we will always welcome you as an equal, and treat you accordingly.
Progression
Once we have trained our team in their roles, we then up-skill them into the areas they are interested in.
Support and education are the keys to a fulfilling career.
Value
We care about our team, and our team cares about our customers.
Our clothes are the embodiment of that collective commitment.
