Responsible purchasing practices

Our customers should feel secure that our products are manufactured in a sustainable and responsible manner. Therefore, we have developed purchasing practices that ensure we are a fair and reliable business partner.

Long-term relationships

We are primarily an online retailer of rugs, which means that we do not own any factories, instead we build long-term partnerships with carefully selected suppliers. When you want to build long-term relationships, it is important to both qualify the suppliers initially and work for a continuing business relation. Through these long-term collaborations with our suppliers, we also contribute to their financial business development – when they develop their business, we will receive improved service and deliveries. Our purchasing methods must contribute to the development of the rug industry in a sustainable manner whilst simultaneously provide long-term benefits for our suppliers and their employees. This way, our long-term partnerships can grow and create value for all parties.

Responsible purchasing practices create real impact

If we want to make a meaningful difference in our industry, responsible purchasing practices are fundamental. They help ensure fair treatment of workers and safe working conditions throughout our supply chain.

By setting clear standards and requirements, staying committed and acting responsibly, we contribute to the long-term development of our suppliers and support them in being responsible employers. We have a responsibility to ensure that human rights are respected in practice. This includes, for example, paying for ordered products on time so that suppliers can meet their obligations and pay wages without delay.

Partnerships provide better planning

With good purchasing routines and long-term relationships, we can handle challenges with uneven production based on customers’ varying demand over time. In a long-term partnership, we can, together with the supplier, plan production well in advance, which reduces unnecessary overtime for workers during the high season and evens out during periods of lower demand.
