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.
