Successful Partnerships

 

We are committed to a sustainable and ethical approach to manufacturing, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainability Development Goal 10, Reduced Inequalities. We strive to provide value chain transparency and traceability, seeking collaborations with partners who are aligned with Kvadrat´s Code of Conduct. Our ambition is to ensure both ethically and environmentally conscious conduct across our supply chain.  

We will continue to work with partners who are striving for inclusive change. Kvadrat is committed to ensuring all our collaborators are aligned with our commitments, such as the UN Global Compact's Ten Principles on human and labour rights, environment and anti-corruption. Transparency around labour practices, manufacturing processes and the provenance of our raw materials will support our development as a regenerative business.

Our 2024 performance highlights

 
 

Suppliers sign Kvadrat´s Code of Conduct

In 2024, we increased the percentage of tier 1 suppliers that signed our Code of Conduct from 52% to 81%. Our goal for 2025 is to reach 95%. The total number of tier suppliers decreased due to a broader consolidation effort. We made no progress on screening tier 1 suppliers for compliance with our Code of Conduct. The specific target will be defined in 2025, and the necessary resources will be allocated accordingly.
