Our values
Our approach to sustainability is rooted in print-on-demand
We have valued sustainability from day one. Our print-on-demand business model means we’ll only produce something once it’s been ordered. This allows us to prevent common textile waste problems like overproduction and overstock, while offering our customers a personalized experience. We believe that this core element of our business is a vital part of our common fight against climate change.
Forward-thinking investment in our common future
As the future of the print-on-demand industry, we’re investing $10 million in new printing technology in 2019-21. This investment allows us to make the printing process as sustainable as possible by minimizing use of water, reducing energy, and using eco-friendly water-based inks. In 2013, we launched the Spreadshirt Collection, a partially-organic product line that’s sustainably produced in fair conditions under our Code of Conduct. We’ve learned how to do better business and drive positive change with eco-conscious actions.
Spread Group is a sustainable employer
We believe in fair and equal treatment in the workplace. We offer our employees flexible hours, childcare support, feel-good management and a healthy work-life balance. We hold ourselves accountable with a strict Code of Conduct and ensure that all of our factories and third-party fulfillment partnerships match our values and expectations for ethical working conditions.
Corporate responsibility towards the planet
We believe in taking responsibility for the impact our business has on the planet. We think globally and act locally. We have a green energy contract, use solar panels, have saved 200 trees a year by going paperless and offer our employees fresh, locally sourced fruit and vegetables. Globally, our platform is the chosen partner of the Earth Day Organization, T1 International, and other non-profits with the common goal of making the world a better place.
Responsibility towards our global community
Our Community Guidelines allow for the free exchange of ideas, beliefs and values around the world. We pride ourselves on creating a safe and accepting platform where a diverse spectrum of voices can feel empowered to share their ideas. We hold ourselves responsible to prevent illegal content, hate speech, violence glorifying or pornographic content from being sold and printed.
