RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT OUR SHARED PHILOSOPHY
White Chocolate label by Scott Corridan, Inc. has chosen an environmentally sound strategy of business operations because for us - and all of us any more - respect for the environment is indissociable from couture and lifestyle products. In fact, the textiles we use at White Chocolate simply wouldn’t exist without the natural efforts of our planet and its delicate and overlapping flora and fauna systems. Our stewarding responsibility to our home as we see it is to provide our clients with textile solutions that respect nature and the craft and service people that make those textiles come to life for us. The definition and implementation of these environmental objectives are regularly shared with our Salon Partners as we work each day to improve our management effectiveness in this field, putting innovative solutions in place above and beyond current regulations.
THE PRINCIPLES OF OUR ENVIRONMENTAL CHARTER
- 1. Design couture garments that are timeless, yet contemporary, and easily fulfilled by environmentally sustainable methods.
- 2. Partner with manufacturers who provide and are dedicated to sustainable and organic materials wherever possible.
- 3. Provide leadership in design and manufacturing to, in time, reduce the need to include synthetic and nonsustainable textiles in couture garment manufacturing.
- 4. Partner with manufacturing partners who employ free trade principles in the compensation and treatment of their employees and work forces.
- 5. Create lasting relationships with retailers and our Salon Partners who are as dedicated as we are in providing environmentally sound sales environments for the purchase by our clients of our couture garments.
- 6. Look to reduce waste and our carbon footprint wherever possible in the packaging and transportation of our garments to our Salon Partners and ultimately to our clients.
- 7. Look to create opportunities in communities throughout the United States and our planet, through sales, alterations and accessorization of our couture garments, in our Salon Partner’s local markets, that provide sustainable, fair market income opportunities for those individuals working directly with our Salon Partners.
- 8. Strive to maintain the highest level of psychological affirmation to our clients of what we believe defines a healthy, beautiful, intelligent and successful woman.
... And lastly, always strive to be a leader and innovator, offering easy access and open lines of communication with our clients, to insure that our deserts blow clean winds, that our sycamores drink clean water, that our oceans pound at our shores with non-toxic affect, and that the snow that falls from a Sierra’s winter sky is as pure as the heavens they fall from.
