Social Responsibility
From the conception, “doing the right thing” has been important to us and our customers.
We believe it is the responsibility of every individual to be a good citizen, and while being a small player in a global market can at times be daunting, we believe our impact on human rights can be just as significant as larger operations and that we can all make a difference. We collaborate with leading global supply chain initiatives to ensure we're meeting our own stringent commitments on responsible sourcing.
