Sweatshop Free

All Dove-branded uniforms are manufactured in a sweatshop-free facility.
Sewing workers are paid a fair wage, work regular hours with breaks, and
receive benefits. We, and all of our sewing partners, are licensed annually by
the CA Dept. of Labor.

Office/Shipping Employees

Dove employees earn a respectable wage, receive 100% paid medical and
dental insurance, education assistance, paid vacation, 401(k) plan with
matching, and many other benefits rarely seen in small businesses. Happy
workers stay longer and take better care of our customers!

Environment

We do everything we can think of to reduce our footprint on this earth, including:
 

• Reusing shipping boxes three or four times
• Saving discarded paper and printing on the unused side
• Using real towels and biodegradable soap in our bathrooms
• Keeping the doors open for fresh air unless its really hot or cold
• Offering filtered water so no one has to bring plastic water bottles to work
• Providing a recycling dumpster for all building tenants to use
• Buying used office furniture
• Supporting "Co-Op America" (www.coopamerica.org), which has certified us
  as a "Green Business"

Nursing Education

Dove provides uniform scholarship certificates to its contracted schools, for
use by students with financial hardship. We give away over $20,000 in free
uniforms each year. We also regularly and generously support the American
Association of Colleges of Nursing, the National League of Nursing, the
National Organization for Associate Degree Nursing, and numerous state
organizations. We also help our students who have been through disasters,
such as those who live in New Orleans or Galveston, TX, by providing free
replacement uniforms to those who have suffered great losses. Check with your nursing department for more information on how to obtain one of these certificates.

Real People

Dove is a small company made up of real people. We don't use a "service" to
answer our calls, or an overseas call center for order placement, and everyone
here cares a lot about you and your order. It is very rare that we receive a
complaint about how we handled a situation, but when it happens, we follow
up to make things right.
