Ethical and Environmental Policy
 

Nature Spot is a family owned business founded in 2006.
Nature Spot is committed to being environmentally responsible business. We recognize that our activities have some adverse impacts on the environment, which arise mainly from the use of greenhouse gas emissions from transport, energy used in our workplace, waste generation and resources used in packaging and the use of non-renewable resources.

We are committed to reduce our adverse environmental impacts and to continually improving our own environmental performance.

Ethical Practices:

We aspire to improve and maintain the highest possible standards of ethical best practices at all level of business.

Our commitment to our customers:

We are responsible to provide clothing that is carefully designed in order to provide maximum comfort. We promise to provide clothing with superior quality and finish. We endeavor to provide pleasant shopping experience every time.

Our commitment to our suppliers:

We are committed to treat our suppliers respectfully and fairly. We are responsible to communicate with our suppliers well in advance to give enough time for planning and production of our clothing.

We are committed to pay for our production in advance. We always pay price recommended by our clothing producers. Cotton growers are paid premium over the market price. We do not negotiate with suppliers in order to give them enough margins to grow their business.

We know every organization involved in our supply chain.

Our commitment to community:

We promote safe and clean working conditions and minimum wages at every level of production. We visit our suppliers once in a year to assess working conditions at production units. We have always come back with pleasant experiences.

We advocate community development projects with our suppliers. Our suppliers are non-profit organization involved in various community development projects. This has been the main reason of our supplier selection criteria.

Fair Trade certified organic cotton used in our product range for grown-ups comes from farmers’ co-operative in India.

We encourage training and capacity building of workers in long term period.

We endeavor to use locally produced material as much as possible.

Environmental Practices

We believe we are responsible for environmentally sound business practices. We believe it is our duty to care for the environment.

We are only involved in 100% certified organic cotton clothing. We understand the chemically intensive process of growing conventional cotton. Hence we make a conscious decision to use 100% certified cotton for production.

We are committed to use bio degradable fibers.

We advocate sustainable farming. Farmers’ co-operative encourage farmers to bio-diversity and crop rotation.

We are aiming to build long term relations with our suppliers to assure continuous and predictable income from us.

No GM policy

We have ‘no GM cotton’ policy in our product range.

Health and Safety:

Following organic growing practice farmers minimize the exposure to pesticides or other toxic chemicals.

Transportation:

We believe it is our responsibility to reduce carbon footprints. We are committed to increase shipments through sea.
We also plan to reduce number of shipments in a year with sales forecast for a year in advance.

Packaging:

We have developed packaging made from 100% recycled fiber. No trees are cut to pack our products sold through our website.

We believe in re-use and recycle. We store our products in the same corrugated boxes supplied to us by suppliers.
We try to re-use the same boxes in shipping our products to our stockiest.

Promotional Material:

We print promotional material on recycled paper.

Office policy:

We send invoices to our customers through e-mail unless requested otherwise. We use envelopes made with recycled paper.

We are committed to make our work place 75% paper free by end of year 2008. We have requested our bank, electricity company, water providing company to send us e-invoices/statements. We are committed to reducing printing as much as possible.

We ensure to switch off all the electric equipments when not in use.
