SUSTAINABILITY POLICY BÅGE & SÖNER
Båge & Söner loves nature and believes that this is the key to harmony and well-being for both body and soul, a love that is also reflected in all our product names and in this sustainability policy. Båge & Söner takes responsibility for the environment and strives to work sustainable in everything we do, from product development to shipping and packaging.
With this as a background, we undertake to:
1. We have made a conscious decision to use as many genuine and sustainable materials as possible in our production, such as solid traceable brass, traceable stainless steel and vegetable tanned Swedish leather. The vegetable tanning process takes place without the use of chrome, and is the most environmentally friendly way to produce high-quality leather that we know today.
2. Minimize the use of plastic in both production and packaging. Our clocks are made in genuine materials in as many ways as possible. Båge & Söner use tempered mineral glass, whereas most alarm clock manufacturers use plastic glass.
3. A Båge & Söner alarm clock can always be repaired and we reuse every part of the clock down to the last screw. Our clocks are mounted in the same way old watchmakers have done for centuries and by this the clock can be dismantled when repaired and only faulty parts are exchanged and all others are reused again. By this method the clock lasts a lifetime.
4. We strive to visit our suppliers and make certain that they work according to our sustainability regulations.
Through this policy, Båge & Söner acknowledge a responsibility to work in a sustainable way for both employees and product in order to minimize the environmental impact of our operations. The policy will be reviewed annually by the Båge & Söner team to ensure that we fulfill its purpose and keep it up to date.
