Ethical Standards
We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards when selecting suppliers and partners. Our sourcing decisions are guided by principles of integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights.
Environmental Responsibility
We prioritise materials and processes that have a lower environmental impact. This includes selecting suppliers who share our dedication to minimizing waste, conserving resources, and reducing carbon emissions.
Social Accountability
We actively seek partners who uphold fair labour practices, safe working conditions, and fair wages for their employees. We are committed to contributing to the well-being and development of the communities where our products are sourced.
Key Initiatives
Local Sourcing
Whenever possible, we prioritise local suppliers to reduce transportation emissions and support local economies. By sourcing locally, we also ensure that our products maintain a smaller carbon footprint.
Certified Materials
We work with suppliers who provide certified materials, such as FSC, PEFC, Fair Trade, and responsibly sourced options. These certifications help us ensure that the materials used in our products meet rigorous environmental and social standards.
Supply Chain Transparency
We are committed to supply chain transparency. We engage in open dialogues with our suppliers to understand their practices and verify that they align with our sustainability goals.
