/ Our sustainability approach

Ethical By Nature, Sustainable by Choice is our sustainability approach.

 

Ethical by Nature reflects the standards set by our founders — doing business responsibly and with integrity.

 

‘Sustainable by Choice’ is our strategy — a conscious decision to lead by embedding sustainability into our business before it becomes mandatory, ensuring a resilient and responsible value chain.

start where it 
makes a difference

breaking it
down

Sustainability isn’t about one action — it’s about thinking in the right areas.


This framework captures how we approach sustainability across the product journey — identifying where design, materials, packaging, and production choices make the biggest difference.


It’s how we balance environmental impact with design ambition and commercial reality.

adaptable materials
& Mindful design

Good material choices should not be a guessing game. We help you navigate the options — from renewable to low-impact and local materials — always with your business needs in mind.

 

While materials are a dedicated focus on their own mindful design also considers, repairability, easy assembly, disassembly, multifunctionality, and efficient transport. 

 

The result is products designed with quality, longevity, and circularity in mind — reducing waste and extending their useful life, while balancing sustainability with commercial success.

responsible 
production

Our approach to responsible production is built on long-term partnerships with suppliers who share our ethical mindset — from clean energy to fair labour.


Today, over 90% of our factories hold a social compliance audit as a minimum. These audits include amfori BSCI, Sedex, and API. Sourcebynet is also a proud member of Sedex.


Because responsible production is about people, too. We partner only with suppliers who uphold high standards of worker welfare— verified through regular audits and close collaboration

always an ethical
mindset

 

We take a proactive approach to ethical business practices.

 

Our Anti-Modern Slavery Declaration outlines the standards we stand by — and that we expect all partners and suppliers to uphold.

 

We also provide an open and anonymous Whistleblowing platform, giving anyone connected to Sourcebynet a safe way to raise concerns.

 

To stay informed and continuously improve, we conduct bi-annual training sessions with external experts – keeping our teams aware and engaged on this important and evolving topic.

clean energy
has big impact

Clean energy at the point of production is one of the most effective ways to reduce product emissions.

 

We have surpassed our 2025 target: more than 10% of our vendor partners now use renewable energy in their final finishing facilities for producing Sourcebynet products.

 

To drive progress, the sustainability teams provides bi-annual training, data-driven insights, and hands-on support across supplier relationships.

we have the
validation

And now we are climbing the next mountain on this journey.

 

The SBTi has approved Sourcebynet’s near-term science-based emissions reduction target.

 

Specifically, Sourcebynet Pte Ltd commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions 54.6% by 2033 from a 2023 base year, and to measure and reduce its scope 3 emissions.

 

For our business, the massive challenge is Scope 3 – Supply chain emissions – as this is where our impact lies and this is where the sustainability team’s focus will be for the coming year.
