Sustainability
For us, sustainability means fair business practices, respectful treatment of our employees, responsible sourcing, and the efficient use of materials and energy. We influence manufacturing conditions and ensure good value for money through close supplier collaboration and strict product quality processes.
Responsibility is an integral part of our company strategy. We have a company-wide sustainability working group in place. For us, responsibility means ethical business practices, responsible sourcing, and sensible use of materials and energy.
We have full visibility into the stages of our supply chain and require third-party audits from our factories to ensure that international labor standards and human rights guidelines are followed in our production. We work closely with our partners to promote safe and fair working conditions.
Reducing our carbon footprint is one of our key sustainability goals. We have calculated our emissions at Scope 1 and Scope 2 levels and are actively working to reduce them, for example by transitioning to renewable energy. In the future, we will expand our sustainability efforts to include Scope 3 emissions accounting, covering the environmental impacts of our supply chain and the entire lifecycle of our products.
We support our customers’ responsible business practices. The foundation of our responsible service is helping our customers achieve their own sustainable business goals. When using our products, consumers can trust that they are responsibly manufactured, safe, and of high quality.
