Responsible Sourcing

ETHICAL SOURCING

We believe that each party should strive to carry out business to the best ethical standards achievable, and that employees should be treated with fairness, dignity, and respect. Working conditions should be safe and acceptable and demonstrate care and concern for individuals and the environment. Exalt provides a supplier auditing service which analyses a supplier’s ethical and social compliance standards, providing a CAP as well as guidance to help the supplier reach a required compliance standard.  This service is utilized by several factories in Bangladesh to help improve their compliance levels as well as customers who want their partner factories to reach and maintain better standards.

Exalt believes that compliance has to be at the core of any sourcing strategy. The vast majority of our supply chain are members of the Bangladesh ACCORD.

SOURCING PHILOSOPHY

Every customer is unique in terms of their requirements with respect to pricing, quantity levels, lead times, approval processes, compliance standards etc. Some of our customers prefer to take a very hands-on approach towards their sourcing needs, whilst others adopt a more hands-off approach preferring to focus on other areas of their business. Whatever approach our customers wish to take, we always try and understand as much as possible about our customers’ needs and endeavor to establish a sustainable supply chain to deliver across all their sourcing needs.
