Where do you source your gifts and merchandise

Many Qtable products are made in the UK, however a large number are sourced from overseas.

 

When we source from suppliers overseas we look for certain trading standards to make sure that there is no discrimination, forced work (slave labour), child labour or voilence such as those standards that can be found in the SA8000 code of conduct an independent standard developed by Social Accountability International in collaboration with a wide range of labor, consumer, business, government, and non-governmental organizations. Our suppliers treat their workforce fairly and provide a good working environment.

 

Social Accountability International accredits independent external auditors to audit and certify a company's compliance with the standard. Although some workers' rights organizations have expressed concern about its external audit process, we have concluded that SA8000, with its management systems requirements, guidance materials, and accreditation process, is currently the most credible and verifiable social accountability standard for labor rights. It is also a comprehensive standard, based on the core conventions of the International Labor Organization, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. (The SA8000 standard and certification procedures can be found at www.sa-intl.org.)
