Our ESG Commitment

At Schütte & Co Far East, we believe that responsible sourcing is not optional — it is an integral part of delivering reliable, long-term value to our clients.

​

Across our sourcing, product development, and supply chain operations, we integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles to ensure transparency, compliance, and continuous improvement throughout our partner network.

Environmental Responsibility

We actively work to reduce environmental impact across our sourcing and product development processes.

​

  • We prioritize the use of recycled and sustainable materials whenever possible

  • We regularly source products certified under FSC and SVLK, ensuring responsible forest management and traceability

  • We are actively preparing for the implementation of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), working closely with our partner factories to ensure future compliance

  • We continuously optimize packaging solutions to reduce material usage and improve logistics efficiency

  • We set general environmental expectations with our suppliers to encourage responsible production practices

Social Responsibility

Ensuring ethical and responsible working conditions across our supply chain is a key priority.

​

  • We work with factories compliant with BSCI and ICS standards

  • We conduct our own audits and on-site evaluations in addition to third-party assessments

  • We enforce strict requirements regarding:

    • working conditions

    • legal compliance

    • certification validity

  • We reserve the right to stop working with suppliers that do not meet our standards

  • Our team performs regular factory visits and inspections, both:

    • during production

    • and upstream, before project validation

Governance & Compliance

We ensure strong internal processes and full transparency across all operations.

​

  • Dedicated teams manage quality control and regulatory compliance

  • Products are validated through:

    • internal testing

    • and independent third-party laboratories, ensuring full compliance with EU standards

  • We maintain strict internal policies to prevent:

    • unethical practices

    • concealment of quality issues

  • We work directly with trusted factories, building long-term partnerships based on reliability and accountability

Our Approach

Our ESG commitment is not based on isolated actions, but on a continuous and integrated approach across the entire supply chain.

​

From factory selection to final delivery, we aim to provide our clients with sourcing solutions that are:

​

  • Transparent

  • Compliant

  • Reliable

  • Aligned with evolving international standards

Looking Ahead

We continuously monitor regulatory developments and industry standards to strengthen our ESG practices and support our partners in adapting to future requirements.
