Great gear starts with respecting the people who make it and the environment we all explore. Our manufacturing partners operates under our Code of Conduct. Woolly Wolf supports international conventions concerning human rights and environmental actions, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights, and the recommendations of the International Labour Organization (ILO).
Here is how we hold ourselves and our partners accountable:
Fair Labor & Living Wages
Employment must always be voluntary and we do not accept any form of discrimination against employees. We require our partners to pay a living wage that covers basic needs, not just a legal minimum. Safe working conditions and regulated working hours are mandatory.
Environmental Standards
Compliance with environmental laws and regulations is required and facilities must have relevant permits for their operations. We expect efficient use of water and energy, responsible waste management, and compliance with the European REACH chemical regulation.
3rd Party Audits
Our manufacturing partners undergo annual independent 3rd party audits covering labor standards, health and safety, environmental practices and business ethics. We closely review our partner's audit reports, request renewed certificates, and follow up on any required corrective actions.
Recycled Polyester (rPET)
The main material used in our gear is recycled polyester (rPET). It offers the high durability and strength essential for reliable dog gear. Our rPET is manufactured from post-consumer plastic bottles, a process that utilizes existing plastic waste to create new, high-performance fibers. To ensure the integrity of our materials, we require our manufacturing partners to provide third-party certifications for all recycled materials used in our products.
