Introduction

We believe that all terms and conditions of employment should be based on individual ability to do the job and not on the basis of personal characteristics or beliefs. We provide employees with a working environment free of discrimination, harassment, intimidation or coercion relating directly or indirectly to race, religion, sexual orientation, political opinion or disability. We do not use any prison, slave, indentured, or forced labor in the manufacture of any of our products. We do not utilize child labor in the production of any product. We do not employ any person under the age of 15 (or 14 where local law allows), or the age at which compulsory schooling has ended, whichever is greater. We acknowledge the value of our staff and treat each employee with dignity and respect. We do not use cruel and unusual disciplinary practices such as threats of violence or other forms of physical, sexual, psychological or verbal harassment or abuse.

Being aware of the world limited resources, we keep our focus on finding renewable raw materials and designing products that use less and last longer instead of exploiting non-sustainable resources for the sake of profits. We avoid the use of endangered species of trees.
