In Good Hands
Hestra’s sustainability framework, In Good Hands, is based on the company’s purpose, values, routines and processes, which have evolved since the company was founded in 1936. Today, it outlines our commitment throughout the value chain.
THE BASIS OF OUR APPROACH
Sustainable corporate governance – Systematic sustainability management, based on values, responsibilities, policies, international standards and partnerships.
Corporate social responsibility – Good working conditions and well-being both in own factories and among suppliers, fostering competence development, striving for gender equality and social engagement.
Corporate environmental responsibility – Minimising the environmental and climate impact by producing gloves in a responsible way, switching to renewable energy, consuming less electricity and optimising logistics.
SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS ALONG THE VALUE CHAIN
Design & development – Developing quality gloves with longevity and functionality, by continuous development and thorough evaluation of materials.
Materials & suppliers – Long-term collaborations with selected partners, based on our code of conduct and policies for chemicals and animal welfare.
Production & logistics – Manufacturing in our own factories is regularly audited for quality, environment and working conditions.
Sales & communication – Honesty, transparency and good guidance for the customer, selling quality gloves for real needs and offering a large number of carry-overs.
