Konges Sløjd Sustainability Actions

Responsible business policy

Responsible Business Policy 2025. We are committed to running a responsible and sustainable business. Ensuring that our products are produced under responsible conditions stands at the core of this commitment, and in fulfilment of our ambition, we expect our partners – suppliers, subcontractors, agents, and other business partners– to operate responsibly and act with integrity, fairness and responsibility in all aspects of their business.

Annual human rights risk reviews

We conduct annual risk assessments of our human rights risks and use those assessments to inform and update our policies, factory assessment criteria and methodology, and to inform decisions about where to invest resources in risk mitigation. This risk assessment is primarily concerned with the risk of adverse impacts on people that KS can cause, contribute to, or to which we are linked by our Tier 0 and Tier 1 business partners.

Supplier onboarding checks

When a supplier is onboarded to our supply chain they go through a risk assessment in our IT system Qarma and must sign a supplier agreement, where they commit to upholding all KS policies. All policies, including the Code of Conduct, have been designed to incorporate best practices outlined by the UN Guiding Principles (UNGP) on Business and Human Rights, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the OECD.

Migrant worker audits

At Konges Sløjd, we ensure fair treatment of migrant workers by conducting thorough social audits during the onboarding process for all suppliers. These audits verify compliance with our standards, including ethical recruitment, fair contracts, and equal pay. We check that working conditions are safe, accommodations meet proper standards, and workers retain access to their passports and documents.

Child modelling safeguards

Child modelling is frequently used in our marketing activities, in several countries of setting. Konges Sløjd commits to enforcing the highest legal standard, either Danish law or local legal requirements including allowed time of activity per age, appropriate days of setting, and to never remove a child from school for this purpose. A contract is signed with each child´s representative before the photoshoot, describing the conditions of the photoshoot, and collected after the photoshoot for traceability.

Freedom of association

Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining is fully enforced, and employees with no distinction have the right to join or form trade unions. Konges Sløjd support the activities of trade unions and will never hinder or interfere with their activities or engage in surveillance on their activities.

Anti-bribery rules

Konges Sløjd is an ethical, honest and transparent company, committed to acting responsibly and with integrity in all its operations. We have a zero-tolerance on bribery and corruption: it is illegal in all our countries of operations, and it is contrary to our values.
