Lemon & Soda T-shirts and polo shirts are produced in factories in the Far East. These manufacturers show time and again that they have their affairs in order in terms of working conditions, safety and quality standards. They are audited annually on various points by various certification organizations that then issue certificates to the manufacturers.

All sweaters from Lemon & Soda are produced in Portugal. Since Portugal is a member of the EU, there are still a lot of sustainable and ethical rules to comply with as an EU country and therefore a lot of rules, laws and standard are already framed.
