Responsible sourcing

Our purchasing decisions have an impact on social, environmental, and
economic conditions in global supply chains. We are especially aware of
human rights risks in our supply chain such as forced labour, child labour and
excessive working hours. Monitoring and addressing sustainability risks in our
supply chain strengthens our stakeholders’ trust in our brand and increases our
preparedness for a rising regulatory focus on due diligence in supply chains.

Ambitions

Focusing on responsible sourcing ensures that we account for the impacts
of human and labour rights on workers and communities. Through our social
compliance process, we work to ensure that factories, selected for production
on our behalf, can meet our requirements and that the people producing our
products are treated with respect and provided with fair and safe working
conditions. Most of our direct suppliers are trading companies who source
from a range of different factories, enabling us to offer a broad array of novel
products across a variety of categories.

 

Progress in 2023

The Flying Tiger Copenhagen Supplier Code of Conduct sets out minimum
requirements for responsible business practices by our suppliers (most often
trading houses) and sub-suppliers (most often factory production sites),
to operate by responsible business principles like human rights and in full
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
The Code is based on international standards as defined by the United
Nations (UN) and the International Labour Organisation (ILO). It defines our
requirements in the areas of workplace health and safety, terms of employment,
working hours, wages, environmental protection, and business ethics.
