We are delighted to announce that our factory in China which was purpose built for us in 2007 – Artistic Printing - has now passed the relevant audit for the SMETA social compliance. This audit has been carried out by Intertek over the last few months and was completed on 16th Aug 2010 A full copy of the report is available on request but for more information about the ETI please refer to the website www.ethicaltrade.org. In brief the aim of the organisation is to improve working and living conditions for workers in global supply chains, to ensure they are free from exploitation and discrimination and work in conditions of freedom and security. \\r\\n\\r\\nWe are obviously very proud that our factory has achieved this status and hope that in turn you will be able to benefit by promoting your own business as sourcing ethically. \\r\\n\\r\\nIn addition to this latest achievement we have recently been re-audited by the BSI and our ISO 9001 status has been updated, confirming continued compliance with the recognised standard for internal Quality Management.\\r\\n\\r\\nPlease let us know if you would like any further information.\\r\\n\\r\\nKen, Jacky & Christina.\\r\\nArtical Printing Factory Ltd |
