To ensure the continued focus on our corporate
social responsibilities, we have instated a full-
time employee to do the task. Our CSR manager
is dedicated to finding solutions, suppliers and
partners that are as dedicated as we are to
responsible and sustainable production methods.
At the same time, we are fully aware that we
can start by being more socially responsible
ourselves, so we limit our printing and the use of
paper as much as possible — in the past 2 years,
printing has been drastically reduced. When
possible, we bike or travel with public transport
and we make sure to carefully sort our waste. It
is our intention to rigorously continue our CSR
work and find more areas where we can improve
in the future. We wish to leave the planet in good
condition for future generations and we want
to ensure that all living beings are treated with
respect and kindness.
Our work often involves quite a bit of travel.
When we do so, all our hotel rooms are booked
through Goodwings. Every time a hotel booking
is made through their website, they set aside
a percentage of the cost for charity. At the end
of each year the total amount is donated to a
charity of our choice
All of our rugs are Goodweave certified. This non-
profit organization aims to improve working
conditions for the people in the rug industry. The
Goodweave label ensures that no child or forced
labour was used in the production process.
AYTM also supports educational programs
for children and decent working conditions
for adults. Goodweave makes unannounced
inspections of facilities to ensure they comply
with their standards. Each Goodweave label has
a unique ID code that can be traced back to the
certified producer – so each rug is made under
fair conditions.
Committing to the UN Global Compact means
we are obligated to actively work towards
complying with the Compact’s 10 principles.
Those include; human rights, labour rights,
environmental rights and anti-corruption.
Our CSR manager does due diligence on all
suppliers and partners to ensure they comply
with the guidelines. In 2017 we also partnered
with Green Network, who have developed a
system for monitoring our supply chain in the
areas involving the UN Global compact. This
has resulted in extended screening of existing
suppliers and a revision of our supplier code of
conduct requirements.
