At Ettos, we believe that transparency isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s the foundation of accountability, sustainability, and trust. That belief drives everything we do. We are proud to partner with Safpro, a leader in workwear and PPE. Together, we help bring this vision to life in an industry that impacts millions of frontline workers every day.
The Importance of Transparency in PPE
Transparency in supply chains is crucial, especially in the PPE industry. People rely on these products for safety and protection while working in hazardous environments. At Ettos, we are committed to ensuring not only the quality of PPE but also its traceability. Our partnership with Safpro embodies this commitment.
Safpro’s extensive industry knowledge, along with our advanced traceability solution, is transforming how PPE is sourced, tracked, and trusted. This collaboration signifies more than shared ideals; it serves as a model for how digital tools can create safer, more responsible supply chains.
Rolling Out with Onyx
We’re excited to announce that Ettos will initially launch through Onyx, Safpro’s own brand of workwear and PPE. Onyx reflects Safpro’s dedication to high standards, performance, and innovation. Now, with the addition of Ettos, it also embodies transparency and accountability throughout the supply chain.
This rollout signifies that Onyx customers will be the first to experience enhanced clarity and control over their products. They will know not only what they are buying but also where it comes from and how it was made.
What This Means in Practice
With Ettos seamlessly integrated into Safpro’s operations, clients gain access to several benefits:
🔍 True Supply Chain Visibility
From raw materials to manufacturing and distribution, every stage of the product journey is mapped and verified.
📄 Compliance and Certification Tracking
No more chasing paper trails. All documentation is stored and accessible digitally in real-time.
♻️ Sustainability You Can Prove
Green claims are backed by data, not marketing. Through Digital Product Passports, customers can see the full story behind each product.
👷♀️ Safer Outcomes for End Users
With greater traceability comes a higher assurance of product quality and regulatory compliance, offering better protection to the individuals relying on PPE.
An Opportunity for Forward-Thinking Brands
This partnership is a positive step for Ettos and Safpro, highlighting a practical approach to the challenges facing the workwear and PPE industry. As regulatory requirements increase and expectations for responsible sourcing grow, clear digital supply chain data is rapidly becoming a necessity rather than a luxury.
By implementing traceability tools like Ettos, Safpro demonstrates that it is possible to take manageable, forward-looking steps toward enhanced visibility and control. This approach is not only beneficial but also commercially viable.
For other brands in this sector, there is a significant opportunity to get ahead of changing standards and remain competitive. The infrastructure is already in place. The expectations are rising. The benefits—whether smoother audits, stronger supplier relationships, or clearer ESG reporting—are tangible.
Why Every Brand Should Consider Transparency
As more businesses recognise the need for transparency, they can establish stronger relationships with their customers. When customers trust that their products are responsibly sourced and produced, it builds loyalty. This connection is essential in today's competitive landscape.
Additionally, brands that prioritise transparency are often viewed more favorably in the market. They are already ahead of competitors who hesitate to embrace these changes. This advantage can lead to increased sales and enhanced reputation in the industry.
In conclusion, the journey toward transparency in the PPE sector is both essential and beneficial. The collaboration between Ettos and Safpro exemplifies the positive outcomes that arise from such commitments. Embracing transparency is not just the right thing to do; it is a strategic move for success in an evolving market.
