RESPONSIBLE CRAFT-FOCUSED PRODUCTION
As a ‘materials first’ company, Aiayu choose suppliers based on their unparalleled expertise, craftsmanship, and rich traditional history with a material. But they also see their suppliers as long-term partners, collaborators, and fellow material enthusiasts with whom they share a vision of treating people and the planet with respect.
Aiayu doesn’t think any certification can replace their long-term relationships. However, certifications are very central to the ethics of Aiayu as they ensure that the working conditions and environmental practices of the suppliers live up to their ethical standards.
Currently Aiayu have the SA8000, WRAP, and GOTS certifications and are a signatory of the UN Global Compact.
