Responsible Sourcing
At Lightsource, we are committed to ethical practices in every aspect of our business, including sourcing and working with manufacturing partners. Our experience has shown us the value of partnering with trustworthy manufacturers who deliver quality products.
Core Principles of Our Responsible Sourcing Strategy:
Quality Products
We review commercial standards for each product and its market, ensuring quality before it reaches you. And our quality assurance process is active at every stage of production - materials, designs, and during manufacturing. We work closely with our manufacturing partners to maintain high standards and deliver products you can trust.
Fair Treatment of Labor
We only collaborate with manufacturers who respect workers' rights. Forced labor of any kind—prison labor, child labor, etc.—is strictly prohibited. Manufacturers must adhere to local labor laws regarding wages, hours, overtime, breaks, and safe working conditions.
Legal Compliance
Our sourcing process involves thorough research and careful vetting to ensure every product meets legal and safety requirements. Lightsource never cuts corners or misrepresents product details—your safety and confidence in our products are our top priorities.
Integrity
We prioritize integrity in every decision, fostering long-term relationships with clients and vendors. Short-term gains will never come at the expense of doing the right thing.
All our manufacturing partners must pass the Lightsource Audit. If you require specific accreditations, audits, or certifications, let us know—we’ll connect you with a manufacturer that meets your standards.
