LABOR RESPONSIBILITY
We pledge to have an open dialogue with our suppliers and work together to improve their labor practices to comply with international labor standards rather than factory benefits.
A few of the issues fueled by greed and the continuous pursuit of maximizing profits are bribing regulatory officials, conflict of interests, lawsuits for product failures, cover ups for environmental disasters, unsafe working conditions using child labor, etc.
The new business paradigm imposed by the globalization era and cross-cultural issues, results in different ways of doing business. This in turn affects the very soul of business enterprises.
HEALT & SAFETY
Ensuring a safe workplace is mandatory to promote a heathy and productive environment.
If we take care of our employees; they will take care of us. We strive to treat our employees as part of the business, not just a tool of the business.

In nature nothing goes to waste! We will carefully use resources to preserve the environment today and for future generations. We pledge to save water, energy and reduce our carbon footprint. We will continuously investigate in new recycling techniques and better processes to reduce the use of fossil fuels.
