To complement in-house manufacturing, Fiskars has developed a network of external suppliers. These are seen as long-term partners and are selected on the basis of their capability to support Fiskars’ quality, supply chain, cost, and technical targets with flexibility. Fiskars personnel from local sourcing offices and business areas work in close cooperation with our suppliers.

Fiskars requires its partner to commit to principles covering labor and human rights, health and safety, environmental impact, and business ethics. Extensive supplier audits have been carried out since 2009, and audit criteria were updated in 2010 based on the latest trade requirements, international standards, and industry practices. Suppliers are required to follow a code of conduct document, and audits are carried out to verify compliance. The Fiskars Supplier Code of Conduct has concrete implications regarding audit procedures in Asia and Europe. Audit will cover around 170 individual requirements, and suppliers’ performance in corporate responsibility is enhanced by a systematic development program together with Fiskars. Suppliers’ performance in corporate responsibility is scored and graded, and results have a concrete impact on commercial decision-making. Fiskars ceased business with one supplier in 2010 due to a lack of required safety measures.

Suppliers in Thailand and Indonesia are producing the Höganäs Keramik stoneware.
