    We want to create a future with more responsible businesses

    non-negotiables

    At Manelleh, we want to be the new generation of more responsible companies. We do this by committing to what many companies call their code of conduct.

    We call it our non-negotiables, and these are the values and principles we do not negotiate and will never compromise on.

    At the core of our business is that we work closely with our partners around the world. That way we know how each product is made, who makes it, and what the women are paid.

    Our non-negotiables

    Women who make handmade products for Manelleh are paid fairly and on time.

    Women who make handmade products for Manelleh work in a decent, healthy, and safe working environment.

    We do not tolerate child labor.

    Women who make handmade products for Manelleh will receive more than a fair wage. They will also receive, for example, professional training, new skills, training in women's rights, an annual bonus, or a pension.

    We value traditional craftsmanship, unique and personal products that take time to make – and stand in sharp contrast to mass production.

    We work with small, social and fair-trade businesses to foster close partnerships and to ensure we truly empower women in practice.

    We strive to sell products that minimize environmental harm. We prefer to work with upcycled, recycled, and organic materials, and choose durable, long-lasting designs and products.

    We seek to collaborate with women, partners, companies, NGOs and organizations that share our goal of creating change and supporting a movement toward more responsible businesses for the benefit of women around the world.

    The 10 Principles of the UN Global Compact

    Human rights, labor rights, the environment, and anti-corruption

    The 10 principles of the UN Global Compact serve both as an inspiration and as the underlying foundation for our non-negotiables and the way we run our business.

    This means that we conduct business in a way that, at a minimum, adheres to fundamental criteria regarding human rights, labor rights, the environment, and anti-corruption.

    At Manelleh, we work with these four Sustainable Development Goals

    The eradication of all forms of poverty remains one of humanity's greatest challenges.

    Women are more likely to live in poverty than men due to unequal access to paid work, education, and property.

    80 percent of the world's extremely poor live in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. This share is expected to increase due to new threats from climate change, conflicts, and food insecurity.

    Strengthening women's rights and opportunities and achieving greater gender equality are essential to accelerating sustainable development.

    Eliminating all forms of discrimination against women and girls is not only a fundamental human right, but it also has a multiplier effect across all other areas of development.

    The Sustainable Development Goals aim to promote sustained economic growth by fostering higher productivity and technological breakthroughs.

    At the same time, it is important to implement effective measures to eradicate forced labour, slavery, and human trafficking.

    Encouraging industries, businesses and consumers to reuse and reduce their waste is important.

    Equally important is supporting developing countries so they can move toward more sustainable consumption patterns by 2030.
