When it comes to ethics and the environment, we get very serious: whatever we do is always controlled according to strict standards - ensuring that our actions are socially compatible is an integral part of our corporate policy.
It is extremely important to us to offer our customers only goods that have been produced under humane conditions where the protective regulations established in the respective country’s labour laws are observed and special attention is paid to environmental protection. Furthermore, you can of course return packing material to us - if desired.
Through extraordinarily high demands on our suppliers, we make sure that every item we purchase is absolutely safe from a health point of view:
- All suppliers have to certify that their goods are perfectly safe.
- Our house-brand products are checked in advance during lab tests by our suppliers.
- Furthermore, we check a certain percentage of our goods according to the strict criteria of the Eco-Tex Standard 100 for residues such as heavy metals, PCP, formaldehyde, pesticides, nickel or TBT.
As a retail company that procures goods internationally, we are familiar with the problematic working conditions in some production countries. We live up to our responsibility, trying to be partners in the joint effort to ensure good working conditions.
That is why, as early as 1997, P&C created its own supervision programme, where specialists control the working conditions and make recommendations for improvement, where necessary.
Wanting to assume even more responsibility, we participate in a programme to implement and inspect social standards named Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) >>.
