Supply Chain, Transportation and Manufacturing

Building the majority of what we make in-house and using local suppliers allows us greater control over product quality and the environmental impacts of our manufacturing processes. We also are working to closely monitor all our supply partners and facilities to maximize efficiency and minimize our global footprint. To ensure that we don’t create unnecessary waste, we are working to carefully observe and optimize the way we move goods around the world. We track and monitor all air freight and use consolidation programs to ensure we only transport fully loaded containers.

Supplier Tracking

Responsible manufacturing extends far beyond what happens at our Seattle, Reno and Ireland factories, and includes not only our own practices but the practices of our materials suppliers. We believe that the key to responsible manufacturing includes the social, economic and environmental impacts of our suppliers, and expect that our suppliers share our commitment to sustainability. To ensure that our supplier values are aligned with our own, we have created a Supplier Code of Conduct outlining basic expectations of our business partners. Many of our suppliers go above and beyond these basic expectations.
