 Our Commitment
Taggies, Inc. Corporate Social Responsibility
In addition to caring for children, Taggies, Inc. is committed
to treating all individuals involved with the manufacture and supply
of Taggies products with respect and dignity. We are dedicated
to the ethical manufacturing of our products and to protecting
the environment in the process. As part of our corporate social
responsibility, we believe these principles should be reflected
throughout our supply chain, and embraced by all Taggies, Inc.
suppliers. This was the motivation for creating the Taggies
Supplier Code of Conduct. Our suppliers are required to
have an officer or owner of the company sign an acknowledgement
that they agree to comply with our code and standards. New suppliers
are required to comply as a condition of doing business with Taggies,
Inc. We encourage all of our partners to share in our mission.
We strive to work with suppliers that are committed to our universal
principles of operating their business in a responsible and ethical
manner, respecting the rights of individuals, and helping to protect
the environment. Verification of compliance is subject to audits
by Taggies, Inc. or a third party designated by or otherwise acceptable
to Taggies, Inc. Failure to comply, or failure to work with Taggies,
Inc. or a third party to correct non-complying situations, are
grounds for cancellation of open orders, discontinued use of non-complying
production sites, or termination of our business relationship.
Contributing positively to communities, to children and to the
ethical manufacturing of our products is so important to us that
it’s a guiding principle of our mission
statement. Please link back We jointly fulfill this commitment
with partners and employees at all levels of the company. Adherence
to these values and standards by the people and companies we do
business with is a prerequisite for continuing or establishing
