From initial design to manufacture, we seek to implement sustainable practices so that we minimize our impact on the planet and its people and create products that can contribute to the creation of healthy spaces. Part of this objective requires us to fully understand the broad impacts of our supply chain and to collaborate with our suppliers.
Building a Sustainable Supply Chain
We’re working to fully understand the broad impacts of our supply chain as we seek ways to contribute to a healthier environment within the life cycle of our products. This includes monitoring and eliminating chemicals of concern across our full product portfolio and providing transparent disclosure of potential health and environmental impacts of our products.
Supplier Code of Conduct
We expect all our suppliers to follow the terms of our Supplier Code of Conduct, including compliance with environmental laws and regulations, mitigation of environmental impact and protection of employees’ health and safety. The Supplier Code of Conduct also includes expectations around key International Labor Organization conventions on the protection of human rights, avoidance of forced or child labor, and protection against discrimination.
Our Conflict Minerals Policy outlines our aim to avoid knowingly buying conflict minerals that contribute to human rights abuses in conflict-affected regions.
Product Transparency
Transparency is a fundamental principle that guides our approach to sustainability. We believe that to create healthier spaces, it’s crucial for stakeholders to have access to reliable information on the potential impacts of our products. This includes transparent disclosure of material ingredients and environmental effects through product labeling and participation in third-party certification programs. We take our responsibility seriously and conduct product life cycle analyses, which allow us to identify and manage any potential impacts of our products—from development to end of life.
