We want our products to empower the people using them — by encouraging innovation, learning and creativity. We also strive to grow, by making better products and reaching further across the globe. That growth will never come at the expense of people, anywhere in our value chain.
Today, more than 80% of our products are manufactured at our factory in Nybro, Småland — a region known for innovation, enterprise and furniture production, a heritage that is very much alive in our staff. Our employees include several generations with experience in making everything from Swedish art glass to flat-pack furniture, textiles and automobiles.
By delegating responsibility, we work to create an environment that ensures both physical well-being and mental satisfaction. It is our highest priority that everyone contributing to our products works under good conditions and that human rights are always protected and promoted. To verify compliance with the Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI) base code and our own Supplier Code of Conduct, we have chosen third-party audits according to SMETA.
