Ethics

Fair Pay

Fair pay is an essential part of having a motivated workforce. All our staff and contract staff get paid above the minimum wage.

Equality

At Skyscraper, we want to create an equal opportunities workplace for both men and women. All our contract facilities hire even amounts of men and women.

Great Conditions

All our factories are BSCI inspected. We have a strict policy with our contractors that no one under 19 is to be hired.

OUR ETHICS

We believe in creating fair and ethical working conditions for the people who make our products. All our manufacturing plants are inspected and approved. We have policies and procedures in place to prevent abuse. Read more below.

MANUFACTURING POLICY

At Skyscraper, suppliers and factories commit to making our products in factories with excellent working conditions so that people are treated well and paid a fair wage. Skyscraper does not own factories, but we are very selective with who we work alongside. Most of the factories that we work with produce goods for other brands. Therefore, orders made for Skyscraper Group get produced alongside items for other well-known brands.
The Skyscraper Code of Conduct is a document that we send out to all suppliers. The Code covers areas such as pay, employment policies and health and safety.

For the factory to get approved with us, it must first undergo an inspection by the worldwide leading private factory inspection agency. Once we receive approval from them and we are confident that the factory meets our standards then we are happy to produce goods with them.
We work with factories in 6 different countries. The factories that we use have a good ratio of male and female workers. It is especially critical to Skyscraper and its associated brands that workers work for a fair wage and work reasonable hours.

Animal products

Skyscraper does not use any animal products in its retail products. This includes fur and leather. We also have a policy to not test any products on animals.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT

We at Skyscraper are passionate about caring for our planet. We have researched and studied all our sustainable products to make sure they are as eco-friendly as possible. We develop our products to be sustainable yet long-lasting. We do not believe in single-use products. Instead, we think that our products should be with you for years. That is why we include a long-life warranty with all products and offer replacement parts for some products if anything breaks. We use minimal protective packaging on all products that is still sufficient to prevent damage.

We prioritise quality and long-lasting materials such as Hemp and Sustainable Cotton in our sustainable clothing range. These materials are durable and subsequently, reduce clothing waste while using fewer chemicals and water to produce. Our bamboo products are made without plastic and are biodegradable once they have reached their end of life. Our stainless-steel range is built to last. This diminishes the need to constantly replace bottles and straws.

We keep our prices low as we do not believe in charging an "Eco Tax" on sustainable products. We want to make it easier for Schools, Colleges, and other businesses to change to sustainable products and become more eco-friendly.

We are a zero waste to landfill company, meaning that we do not dispose of anything that goes to landfill. We do not print documents or paperwork for orders. Instead, we operate via email.

We are also part of 1% For The Planet an organization who are helping with climate change issues in many ways. For more information see https://www.onepercentfortheplanet.org/
