At LOLA CASADEMUNT, we firmly believe that our impact has to go beyond our own activity of designing, creating, producing and marketing fashion. For this reason, since our origins in 1981, we have had the vocation of ongoing improvement, growth and innovation, always based on ethical and responsible behaviour, which we have applied to this day. Ethical principles and transparency guide us in all our actions and underpin our mission, vision and values. This commitment and responsible action by the company is set out in this Code of Ethics and Responsible Conduct (hereinafter, the "Code") of LOLA CASADEMUNT GROUP. We therefore ask all our employees, both internal and external, to comply with the following Code of Conduct.
LOLA CASADEMUNT only works with responsible and trustworthy manufacturers or suppliers, whose working conditions and habits are ethical and acceptable in compliance with the principles of the United Nations and the International Labour Organisation.
We encourage you to read this Code carefully, and if you have any questions or if you consider that any of the actions proposed are not being complied with, please let us know using the Whistleblower Channel, so that we can continue to move forward together with the commitment to preserve the ethical principles and values of the company.
The Code must be complied with by all collaborators who are part of the company, manufacturers, suppliers, franchisees, commercial agents, and anyone who collaborates with us or any person who acts on behalf of the company, and is based on the general principles that define the ethical behaviour of LOLA CASADEMUNT:
- All its activities shall be undertaken in an ethical and responsible manner.
- All persons having a direct or indirect employment, economic, social or industrial relationship with the company shall be treated fairly and respectfully.
- All its activities will be undertaken in an environmentally friendly manner.
- All its manufacturers and suppliers (production sites outside the property of LOLA CASADEMUNT) will fully adhere to these commitments and promote their responsibility to ensure that the standards set out in this Code are met.
LOLA CASADEMUNT undertakes to provide the required means so that manufacturers and suppliers are aware of and understand the Code and are able to comply with it.

Our VALUES are the result of the goals we have set for the present and the future.
All these values have been with us from the beginning and help us to be better, to continue to grow in a sustainable and constant way over time.
Improvement is a source of opportunities for all of us and for all those who are involved in our project.
The spirit WE ARE LOLA is the sum of our values and the alignment of our teams with them.
COMMITMENT / ETHICS
The real achievements of LOLA CASADEMUNT are those that stand the test of time. And our success is also based on respect.
TEAMWORK
For us, teamwork means being part of the same project and sharing common goals. At LOLA CASADEMUNT, we think that together is better.
CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT / EFFORT
The fashion industry is in an ongoing maelstrom. It is for this reason that our improvement processes must be ongoing in the constant execution of actions that improve results, minimising the margin of error and losses as much as possible.
AUTHENTICITY / DIFFERENTIATION
At LOLA CASADEMUNT, fashion designs for women who avoid the basics, who like to feel different and want to stand out. We are committed to mixing styles, prints, colours, textures and accessories in an eclectic way. They are collections that stand out, among other things, for their attitude.
Authenticity is a value that makes us unique, makes us feel true to who we are and allows us to offer the best of ourselves to the world.
POSITIVISM / FUN
Our brand highlights all the positive emotions associated with colour and energy that pervade our collections. Our choice is the positive thinking that represents each one of us and the feeling that comes over our customers when they wear our collections.
SUSTAINABILITY
Our goal for the year 2025 is that all of LOLA CASADEMUNT and LOLA CASADEMUNT BY MAITE capsules become 100% sustainable.
4.1. Prohibition of forced labour
LOLA CASADEMUNT will not allow any form of forced or involuntary labour at its manufacturers and suppliers. They may not require any "deposits" from employees and may not withhold proof of identity.
Manufacturers shall recognise the right of their workers to leave their workplace on reasonable notice.
4.2. Prohibition of child labour
Manufacturers and suppliers shall not employ minors. LOLA CASADEMUNT defines a minor as a person who is under 16 years of age. If local law sets a higher age limit, we will respect that limit.
Persons aged between 16 and 18 shall be considered as youth workers. They shall not work night shifts or under dangerous conditions.
4.3. Prohibition of Discrimination
Manufacturers and suppliers shall not engage in any discriminatory practices in hiring, remuneration, access to training, promotion, termination or retirement based on race, caste, creed, national origin, religion, age, physical or mental disability, gender, marital status, sexual orientation and/or union or political affiliation.
4.4. Respect for freedom of association and collective bargaining
Manufacturers and suppliers shall guarantee their employees, without exception, the rights of association, affiliation and collective bargaining, without reprisals, and shall not offer remuneration or payment of any kind to employees for the purpose of hindering their exercise of such rights. They shall also adopt an open and collaborative attitude towards the activities of trade unions.
Workers' representatives shall be protected against any form of discrimination and shall be free to undertake their duties as representatives at their place of work.
Where the rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining are restricted by law, appropriate channels should be designed to ensure their reasonable and independent exercise.
4.5. Prohibition of inhumane treatment or abuse
Manufacturers and suppliers shall treat their employees with dignity and respect. Under no circumstances shall physical punishment, sexual or racial harassment, verbal or power abuse, or any other form of harassment or intimidation be tolerated.
4.6. Health and safety at work
Manufacturers and suppliers shall provide their employees with a safe and healthy workplace, ensuring minimum conditions of light, ventilation, hygiene, fire protection, safety measures and access to drinking water.
Clean toilets with drinking water shall be provided for workers.
Where conditions require, they shall provide facilities for the preservation of food.
Sleeping accommodation, if provided, shall be hygienic and secure.
Manufacturers and suppliers shall take the required measures to prevent accidents and injury to the health of workers by minimising the risks inherent in the work as far as possible.
Manufacturers and suppliers shall provide their workers with regular occupational health and safety training. The company shall keep appropriate records of the training courses provided. They shall also assign a health and safety officer within management with sufficient authority and decision-making capacity.
4.7. Wage payment
Manufacturers and suppliers shall ensure that the wages paid to their workers are at least equal to the legal minimum wage or to the minimum wage established by collective bargaining agreement, whichever is higher. In any event, such wages shall always be sufficient to cover at least the basic needs and such other needs as may be considered reasonable additional needs of workers and their families.
4.8. Not excessive working hours
Manufacturers and suppliers shall adjust the length of the working day to the provisions of the applicable legislation or to that established by collective bargaining agreement for the industry concerned, if this is more favourable to the worker.

4.9. Regular work.
Manufacturers and suppliers undertake to ensure that all formulations they develop are within the scope of the applicable local legislation. This way, the rights of workers recognised in labour and social security legislation will not be undermined through formulas in which there is no real intention to promote regular employment, within the framework of ordinary employment relations.
4.10. Traceability of production
Manufacturers and suppliers may not pass on production to third parties without the prior written consent of LOLA CASADEMUNT. Those who do so are responsible for compliance with this Code by such third parties and their employees.
Moreover, manufacturers and suppliers shall apply the principles of this Code to homeworkers who are part of their production chain and shall provide transparency on the workplaces and working conditions of such workers.
4.11. Health and product safety
The manufacturers and suppliers are responsible for ensuring that all products supplied to LOLA CASADEMUNT comply with the health and safety standards of LOLA CASADEMUNT so that the items traded do not pose a risk to customers.
Manufacturers and suppliers shall keep an ongoing commitment to environmental protection and comply with the standards and requirements set out in applicable local and international legislation.
They also undertake to comply with the environmental standards established by LOLA CASADEMUNT including, where appropriate, the measures to reduce and compensate for this impact that are required to apply these standards.
It will therefore be essential to have the full chain of custody for all products that require it and with suppliers that already have the GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certification..
