Our ESG work

Reducing our environmental footprint and improving conditions for the people in our value chain is one of Active Brands' five strategic priorities. We measure the environmental impact of our own operations and our supply chain, and we report on it annually.

Our policies set the standards we apply to ourselves and require from our business partners. Our steering documents and routines apply to our own employees and extend to our business partners and their suppliers.

Transparency and collaboration guide how we work: We base our work on risks and opportunities identified across our value chain and work with suppliers and other stakeholders to address the risks we identify. We also monitor our focus areas, and report progress annually.

POLICIES

Our overarching policies for setting standards towards business partners and upholding responsible practices include:

SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT sets out our expectations and requirements for our business partners, including compliance with laws and regulations, labour standards, human rights, and environmental protection. All suppliers must sign and agree to our code of conduct before a business relationship is established and any orders are placed. (See links at the top of this article, left side)

RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS CONDUCT POLICY guides how we operate and sets out the standards we hold ourselves to, including respect for human rights, fair labour practices, and environmental management. (See links at the top of this article, left side)

SUPPLIER LIST

Knowing where our materials and products are made, including facility locations, is a prerequisite for both monitoring and improving the social and environmental impacts of our operations. Active Brands does not own any manufacturing sites. We have a direct relationship with selected manufacturers representing 98% of our order volume. This relationship allows us to maintain transparency and accountability in our supply chain. We share the facility locations of all key Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers via Open Supply Hub and our assembling partners are listed here: Suppliers
