Transparency
Companies should be accountable for more than just profits. We believe transparency is a force for positive change.
Responsible manufacturing
When it comes to how we make our gear, we take responsibility for the design, sourcing, and production of our products. Our goal is to create products that meet or exceed our standards for sustainability, performance and traceability. And equally, we hold our production partners to the same high standards, ensuring that together we’re reducing our overall footprint while increasing positive impact.
Blueprint for Responsible Manufacturing
Our Blueprint for Responsible Manufacturing, developed for our production partners, covers everything from ethical labor practices, material sourcing, and production processes, to environmental impact. This document is a living guide that is continuously updated with changes to regulations, requirements, and industry standards.
Our partners
We also want our partners to demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement and responsible manufacturing. So before taking on new suppliers and manufacturing partners, we carry out comprehensive due diligence.
Workplace Standard Monitoring Program
Once our production partners have met our requirements, we use our Workplace Standards Monitoring Program to identify, address, and monitor any flags. It also helps us evaluate against our responsible manufacturing standards for social, environmental, and ethical business impact.
Living wage initiatives
We’re committed to ensuring fair and inclusive working conditions for everyone who works with On – including people in our supply chain. The right to a living wage is integral to our business values and we’re developing strategies with our suppliers for wage transparency and fair compensation initiatives.
