Ethical standards in our manufacturing process
Here are some of the key standards and conditions our manufacturer adheres to:
-
All workers are fairly paid and earn more than the minimum wage.
-
New workers often are paid minimum wage during their initial probation period (110 days).
-
Most workers are given a year-end bonus (roughly half a month’s salary on average in 2021) –generally, only new workers are not given a bonus.
-
All workers are given an hour lunch break and two 15 minute breaks each day.
-
An eye care assistance program has been established, offering any interested workers free eye checks and subsidized prescription eyeglasses.
-
Air-conditioning is available in all dedicated production rooms, as well as the office.
-
New, ergonomic chairs were given to each employee recently, as part of continued investment in employee welfare.
-
An encouragement for other family members wishing to train or work when they are eligible to, so many workers have other relatives in other departments (son, brother, sister, mother or father) in order to keep the family feel throughout.

In March 2019, the plant also became a Fairmined licensee, allowing us to currently be the only manufacturer exclusively in Asia certified as a Fairmined (in silver and gold) authorized supplier.
