We are right at the beginning of the supply chain, so we must set the right standard. We follow the lead of the Otto Group, a globally respected innovator with environmentally and socially responsible business practices. So, it’s only natural that we adhere to internationally recognised standards.
But Otto International does a lot more. Our Code of Conduct is a mandatory component of every supplier contract we draw up. We proactively encourage social responsibility, sustainability and, above all, transparency in every area that we operate.
We proactively support our customers' supply chain with sustainable materials and packaging to fit their individual needs. For example, our knowledgeable team sources recycled polyesters, monitors viscose fibres and certifies materials such as cashmere.
This initiative takes a business-driven approach to combating poverty and promoting environmental protection in Africa. OI encourages customers and suppliers to use the sustainably farmed cotton and helps them avoid extra costs. The use of Cotton made in Africa (CmiA) has to be fully traceable back to the cotton fields.
Corporate Responsibility (CR) has always been essential to our company. CR activities are part of our daily life, supported by offices and individuals. We are constantly looking for ways to reach our personal CR goals – whether it is CO2-reduction or volunteering in our local communities.
Otto International is a one-stop-shop for first-class sourcing services, with over 50 years of experience in the world’s major production markets. We create tailor-made solutions for our customers that support our partners and protect our planet.
