Our Ethics

Gelert Limited has been trading since 1975 and in 35 years our brand portfolio has grown to include Gelert, Beyond by Gelert, Halcyon, Serious, Scafell Rock, Kidcool, XCool and Canyon. Covering camping, walking and biking our love of the outdoors continues to grow, and this is reflected in our relentless product development.

Our continuous strive for good quality, fair priced products has seen GELERT form a number of relationships with global suppliers. This has lead to the development of an Ethical Trading Policy designed to ensure that all our factories follow strict rules on the treatment of workers and working standards, while maintaining a high quality end product.

It is our Policy to ensure our products are sourced from suppliers who share our commitment to improving employee welfare, well being and fair treatment around the world. It is our requirement that suppliers operate and work hard to maintain high standards of social and ethical practises at all times. With customer demands for quality and reliable products becoming mainstream requirements, GELERT strives to ensure that we provide clear direction and guidance to our factories so as to create an efficient and well managed environment. Our core factories have all undergone social and ethical audits carried out by recognised organisations.

GELERT principles are based on the internationally accepted standards as set out by the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) Base Code of Labour Standards. These are communicated through our office in Shanghai, GELERT Far East, as well as through the various partners who have carried out our social and ethical compliance auditing. We have a strong emphasis upon factory remediation, identifying any areas of concern and implementing sustainable solutions to improve our suppliers.

A good reputation is essential and a vital asset in today’s world – here at GELERT we are working closer than ever before with our worldwide partners to ensure top quality, ethical sourcing.
