We are pleased to confirm that Brands On supports the ten principles and 17 SDG's of the UN Global Compact with respect to human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.
With this statement, we express our intent to continuously incorporate these principles into our own activities.
Brands On will make a clear statement of this commitment to our stake holders and the general public.
We recognize that a key requirement for participation in the UN Global Compact is the annual submission of a Communication on Progress (COP) that describes our company’s efforts to implement the SDG's. We support public accountability and transparency, and therefore commit to report on progress within one year of joining the Global Compact, and annually thereafter according to the Global Compact COP policy.
Brands On is more than just a supplier developing products that increase brand visibility. Every decision is taken with a view to establishing a long-term relationship.
Our products are tailored to your unique and specific needs, in order to highlight your brand values in a powerful and targeted manner.
Brands On is best known for parasols, sign solutions and different types of LED displays. Our clients are international retail brands, restaurants, cafes, and hotels. Brands On includes a factory in South-Africa (Tradewinds), a sales office in South-Africa (Brands On Africa) and an engineering office in China (Wider Concept).
Operating in different parts of the world, we face different cultures, different opportunities and different standards. The 17 SDG's are the perfect guide to pursue common goals. It is impossible to implement the same initiatives and goals in all factories and offices, but we do want to work towards the same goals, each contributing at its best.
Brands On aspires sustainable growth, based on the triple bottom line of People, Planet and Profit. The Sustainable Development Goals of the UN Global Compact guide us on our challenging growth journey in a fast changing environment. Brands On stands for Protection and Connection. Our parasols protect people from the sun. But our products also create a setting where people come together, have fun, re-charge and celebrate life, in short, to connect. The metaphor of Protection and Connection can be extended to our Corporate Social Responsibility.
First of all, the most important asset to our business is people. The key to make our organization work is talent, know-how, as well as positive and solution driven teams. Brands On ensures a healthy and safe work environment for all employees, not only in our own workplaces but also in the factories of our suppliers all over the world.
The ETI base code is our standard. But we want to go further. Creating a nice place to work is the goal. Brands On not only wants to protect people, we also want to protect the planet.
Climate Neutral business practice is the ambition. Finally, sustainable growth can be considered protection as well, securing people their jobs and investing in improved and more eco-friendly processes. This last topic ties in with long term perspective which brings us to connection. Connection in terms of CSR translates for Brands On in Partnerships. These long term relationships are what sustainability is all about, as they provide security. And this security will lead to investments and continuous improvements. Furthermore, connection means for Brands On Social Commitment. We want to be socially engaged in the communities where Brands On has business entities.
We pledge our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals.
To our stakeholders: it’s a promise.
To our employees: together we make it happen!
