Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing

Sustainability is about balancing three important pillars: profit, people, and planet. It’s not just about going green; it’s about making sure your business thrives while doing right by workers and the environment.

To create truly sustainable products and packaging, it’s important to ensure that factories are free from child and forced labor, raw materials are responsibly sourced, and waste is reduced by using compostable, recyclable, and eco-friendly materials. Setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Timely) sustainability goals can be tough, especially when you want them to be impactful, achievable, and cost-effective. But with the right approach, it’s absolutely possible.

At JIT Experts Hive, we connect you with seasoned professionals and quality assurance consultants in social compliance, ethical sourcing, and sustainability to identify, implement, and govern these goals.

Third-Party Audits and Certification

If you’re looking to meet specific product or environmental standards – like Organic, Non-GMO, FSC, COTS, Sustainable Palm, EWG, Fair Trade, EPA Safer Choice, Clean Beauty, or Cruelty-Free – we can guide you through the certification process to ensure ethical production and alignment with global human rights standards.

For broader standards like the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA), Social Accountability International (SA8000), Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP), or Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), we’re here to make sure your business stays compliant and upholds the highest standards.
