Ethical Sourcing

Ethical sourcing is when manufacturers, brands, and retailers engage with supply chain vendors that align with their values and sustainably source product materials and ingredients.

What Is Ethical Sourcing?

Ethical sourcing is the process of finding and using product materials or ingredients in ways that drive environmental sustainability and social value. It requires brands, retailers, manufacturers, and all other businesses to consider the impact of their supply chain and production processes. Brands that practice ethical sourcing will ensure that all aspects of their product manufacturing and sales are done by companies with fair labor practices and sustainable policies. Many brands consider social impacts when practicing ethical sourcing, as well. Brands might partner with vendors that donate a share of proceeds to a cause they believe in or advocate for certain political beliefs. With consumers increasingly demanding corporate responsibility, ethical sourcing isn't just a moral imperative but also an economic one.
