Supplier Ethical Compliance Statement

We work with our suppliers and manufacturers to ensure that products are manufactured in an ethical way. This includes the sustainable sourcing of materials, the ethical treatment of workers and the inclusion of safe environmental practises.

We work with suppliers that we have developed a relationship with where we are confident in their business history and systems. We have suppliers that have social and environmental compliance certification and suppliers that are subject to international scrutiny in the form of SMETA and BSCI audits.

Because of the relationship that we have with our suppliers we are confident that we are operating in a way that ensures the values of our company.

Suppliers are asked to:

  • Comply with policies and all applicable laws in the countries of operation. Wherever standards differ, the standard offering the greater degree of protection to workers will apply.
  • Allocate required resources for full implementation of social compliance.
  • Communicate policies to all employees, sub-contractors, home workers, temporary and contract workers and suppliers engaged in their supply chain.
  • Communicate honestly and openly with us and allow access to sites and documentation as required to evaluate performance against social compliance policies.
  • We prefer to work with suppliers who are a member of SEDEX, the online platform that allows companies to connect and share information, working to continually improve employment and environmental responsibility globally.

We are committed to protecting the environment and the health and safety of our employees, vendors, and customers.
We feel that by integrating values that include environmental as well as health and safety management practices, we offer safe innovative products, provide a safe and secure working environment and conserve and enhance resources for future generations.
