How we work

Especially when it comes to transparency, we like to practice what we preach. Read on as we lay all our cards on the table and dive into the way we work.

BAKERMAT is guided by a carefully constructed methodology which allows us to operate with integrity and consistency. This methodology consists of three main pillars.

How we select fabrics

Our selection process aims to be inclusive of all fibers, taking on a curatorial role to find the best possible solutions available in each category of the supply chain. We evaluate fabrics based on their qualities relating to:

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY | ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY | SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY

 

 

How we present information

Transparency leads to accountability – for us, our partners, and our customers. We do our best to provide accurate data and information on any of our products, suppliers, and manufacturing partners.

How we vet suppliers

Before we invest in building relationships with our partners, we have to make sure they align with our values and standards. This is done via an extensive supplier audit questionnaire, requesting verified data on three main categories:

RAW MATERIALS | SUPPLIER NETWORK | IMPACT REDUCTION EFFORTS
