The way we do business
We hope that everyone can travel freely and responsibly. Whether it is now or in the future.
We have always insisted on the use of high-quality materials to manufacture quality products, and the design of the products to facilitate the repair or replacement of parts, so that they can be used for a long time, rather than just throw away. Our goal is to make all our products contribute to sustainability and respectability by 2025, building a sustainable world.
Here are six main ways we can take responsibility for building a better world in our operations:
1. Product Design
The longer a product lasts, the less impact it has on the environment.
Therefore, we are very focused on extending the life of our products in
the process of designing and manufacturing our products. We aim to produce
rugged products that will allow them to survive the next leg of the journey
and continue to pass on.
Please take a look:
Our products are adopted Modular design for easy maintenance, rejuvenation
or replacement of parts. We began to increase the use of recycled materials.
For example, we used recycled plastic fabrics made of PET plastic bottles
on Bugaboo Fox.
2. Purchasing and Production
We want to ensure all products Both the manufacturing process and the
source of procurement are highly sustainable and are produced under safe,
fair and humane working conditions. Therefore, we are constantly striving
to improve the social and environmental performance of our own factories
and all suppliers. We also strive to improve the transparency and traceability
of our entire supply chain.
Please briefly understand:
We operate the factory ourselves, according to our ISO9001, ISO14001 and
SA8000 certifications effectively control all aspects of production and
create a safe, fair and humane working environment. Close cooperation is
the key to building a sustainable supply chain. In early 2018, we held
the first Bugaboo China Supplier Summit. With our responsible chemicals
management policy, we advocate responsible use to reduce the harmful substances
contained in our production processes and in our final products. Since
2017, we have joined SAC and will actively use the organization's HIGG
index to evaluate the sustainability of our own and our suppliers.
3.Environmental Impact
From our production in Xiamen From the factory to packaging, logistics,
offices, stores and warehouses, we are looking for ways to reduce our environmental
impact.

committed to zero environmental impact. This year we will focus on reducing
product-related waste. We formally commit to setting scientific emission
reduction targets by joining the Science Based Targets initiative.

are constantly exploring innovative business models to treat our products

our US office participates in the Super Saturday event of the Ovarian Cancer
Research Foundation (OCRFA).
