Corporate Social Responsibility

We actively care about how
things are made

Profile Store offers a wide range of branded items.
Every effort is made to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainability in manufacture and transport.

Sourcing – responsible partners

The Profile Store items are manufactured in factories that have proven social and environmental standards.
We ensure that everything is sourced responsibly and that manufacturers have signed up to relevant requirements.

Auditing – regular inspection

Social and production facility audits are carried out by a globally accredited body – Asia Inspection. Audits can include safety procedure inspection, working hour analysis, waste management inspection, factory employee interviews and documentation and certificate assurances.

Improving working conditions – well being

Asia Inspection reports and our own visits to high-volume manufacturers make it possible for us to propose and drive beneficial change in the lives and well being of factory employees.

Verification – better insight

Auditing and reporting serve to help manufacturers improve their processes and manufacturing output. We carry out regular partner verification and help raise the standard of products and services in developing markets.

Impact – thinking green

When we choose a the Profile Store manufacturing partner we place great importance on how production impacts the surrounding environment. For example, we make sure that waste water is used effectively.

Offset – giving back

Even though we do our best to minimize the environmental effect of transporting goods over long distances, there is still carbon emission to compensate. Profile Store supports certified climate projects such as the first wind farm in Nicaragua, a landfill gas plant in Turkey and a ceramic water purifier project in Cambodia. 

International

Standards and certifications

Profile Store suppliers and manufacturers adhere to the strict standards set down by international certification institutions.
