The Rules of Conduct outline minimum standards we require our suppliers to meet. These standards will direct global sourcing strategies and be incorporated into performance evaluations of existing suppliers. Craftmaster places great importance in only working with factories who understand that meeting these minimum standards is a critical foundation from which manufacturing leadership, continuous improvement, and self-governance must evolve.
Craftmaster Furniture, Inc. is committed to collaborating with contract factories to help build a more empowered and equitable supply chain. And, we will continue to engage with governments and the private sector to affect meaningful change to labor and environmental conditions throughout the supply chain.
We expect our suppliers to share Craftmaster’s commitment to the goals of reducing waste, using resources responsibly, and advancing the welfare of workers. We believe that partnerships based on honesty, integrity, collaboration and mutual respect are integral to making this happen.
Our Rules of Conduct binds our suppliers to the following specific minimum standards that we believe are essential:
