We possess a strong passion for detail, quality, service and the ethical conduct of commerce. Understanding that our business has an environmental but moreover, a social impact, we see it as our responsibility to care. Therefore, we commit ourselves to care about working conditions in the countries where our products are manufactured. Aerion found new ways to define and share responsibility by monitoring
compliance and evaluating our relationships with suppliers, manufacturers and their corresponding governments.
Our policies regarding any violation or abuse of human rights, child-labor laws and factory-safety standards, are strictly set. The most promising approach to sustainable sourcing is to work with our customers, suppliers and industry partners to further adopt these standards.
