Ethical Manufacturing
Each and every one of our products is made in a safe and respectful work environment. Our production facilities are held to the highest ethical labour standards, and our partner factories are regularly audited to ensure compliance with the tentree Code of Conduct and international labour standards.
We also make sure that workers are properly compensated with fair wages, ensuring proper rest days and access to essential insurance coverage. Transparency into our supply chain is a must, which is why you can find information about our Tier 1 manufacturers on our website.
Manufacturing Partner Selection
No product can be socially responsible if the supply chain isn’t, too. By working closely with our partners and improving our practices, we strive to provide people with safe workplaces where they can feel good about their contributions to protecting our planet.
Here's how we select the right partners and ensure continuous improvement when it comes to ethical practices within our factories:
Community Impact
For two years in a row, we have been awarded Best in the World for the Community, a title given to the top 5% of B Corps that achieved the highest score in the Community category.
These are just a few of the initiatives we supported last year as part of our ongoing commitment to drive positive social impact.
Investing in our community is a meaningful step we can take toward creating a more sustainable and equitable world for everyone. With support from our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) committee, we continually seek to support organizations that empower members of our community and align with our social goals.
