Ethics & Environment

Future looks strategically on environmental work and aims to always be at the forefront of recycling materials. Our company has a very long relationship with our suppliers in the Far East. We make demands on them regarding the employees' working conditions. This applies primarily to salaries, work environment, occupational health, working hours and child labor. We visit the factories at least three times per year with the aim to maintain an ongoing dialogue and the conditions of production. We guarantee that we follow internationally established rules regarding the above points.

Future is also a member of the BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) and has adopted the BSCI Code of Conduct as our own. Several substantially larger companies are already members and Future follow in their wake. We ensure thereby the high demands of today on suppliers, current production, social responsibility, working conditions, etc.

All of our packaging is made from environmentally friendly paper. Everything from export carton, innerbox to product packaging in stores, is from 2009, completely recyclable and is marked with the recycling symbol.

You can feel confident that all our products meet the requirements of European standards. For technical documentation EU declaration of conformity, please follow the link: https://www.fostergrant.co.uk/ppe
