Environment and Workplace Codes of Conduct

Sierra Club is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of the natural world.

It is of great importance to Sierra Club that in the design, manufacture and sale of the various lines of products bearing any Sierra Club trademark, the high standards and reputation that Sierra Club has established, be maintained. We look to licensees to exercise their best efforts to safeguard the environment and the quality and integrity of the Sierra Club name.

Sierra Club seeks to conduct its business in a responsible manner in which it aims to promote environmental education and awareness, appreciation of the natural world and the conservation of natural resources. We will do business with partners who share our commitment to the environment.

As one of the leading environmental organizations, we need to assure the consumer that Sierra Club and our partners are striving to provide products that seek to lessen the environmental impact to the extent possible for the particular product. The list below is a general guideline and offers recommendations to use when possible:

• biodegradable, non-toxic and non-carcinogenic materials and substances, such as vegetable dyes and soy-based inks

• industrial processes and safer chemicals that reduce the generation of toxic waste such as chlorine compounds

• organic materials

• recycled materials

• recycled paper with post-consumer content, or tree-free paper

• Forest Stewardship Council certified woods

• high quality, long-lasting materials and products

In addition, we will do business with partners whose workers are, in all cases, present voluntarily, not child labor, not put at risk of physical harm, and fairly compensated. Our partners must also adhere to the Fair Labor Association objectives and workplace code of conduct.
