Creating lanyards, wristbands and laminate solutions for leading sporting events, outdoor events and venue entry, ID&C says it has always been aware of the ethical implications surrounding the industry. Impactt works with worldwide companies to raise the awareness of the business supply chain and support and manage ethical trading programmes to tackle labour standard issues.
Business manager of ID&C, Matt Wilkey comments: "It is important that UK companies be aware of the supply chain they depend on and how their business affects people in the chain. We have worked with the same factory to create our lanyards and event merchandise for five years. By working with Impactt, we have improved working conditions, with the next step being to improve productivity within the factory aiming to decrease the amount of overtime.
"As a company we arrange regular meetings with Impactt and our factory to ensure ethical standards are maintained and continue to be improved upon, which is very important to us. This is an on-going project and one that will continue to develop."
