Fairness
= we take responsibility
= we take responsibility
As manufacturers of toys, it's of particularly strong importance to us to treat resources, people, and processes with fairness. Fairness must be for everyone: small foot pays close attention to ensuring that all involved people and companies all along the value chain are treated fairly.
Since 2017, small foot is a member of the Committed Brands PLUS program, an initiative of the International Council of Toy Industries ("ICTI" for short), which stands for fair and safe working conditions. Our products are certified in accordance with the strict criteria of the ICTI codex. With our membership, we're standing for:
- Ethical standards
- A ban on child labour
- A ban on discrimination
- Payment of minimum wages and overtime wages
- Environmental protection and safety at the workplace
Social Engagement
Taking responsibility for social and societal well-being is an important issue for us. For this reason, we've supported charitable organisations and associations with donations for years. One example of this is our 10+ year support of Ärzte ohne Grenzen e.V. (Doctors Without Borders). We've donated to Ärzte ohne Grenzen e.V. in 2020 as well, and we've also supported "Rettet den Regenwald e.V." (Save the Rainforest) and "Unicef e.V." (Unicef).
The topic of climate protection is of increasing importance, and for this reason, we've been supporting the renowned charitable climate protection organisation atmosfair gGmbH with a donation since December 2020.
atmosfair was created in 2004 from a research project of the German Federal Environment Ministry and a joint initiative of the travel agency association "anders reisen" ("Travel Differently") and the environmental /developmental organisation "Germanwatch". This climate protection organisation develops and manages climate protection projects including the expansion of renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies, advises and guides companies and institutions on their paths to transformation to a decarbonized economy, and offers environmentally conscious people the opportunity to offset unavoidable CO₂ emissions in the southern hemisphere.
