Rules & Policy
The Hibrkraft Partner Code of Conduct
Collaboration is a matter of aligned values. This document is our guide to building partnerships that are honest, fair and mutually respectful.
Built on a foundation of trust, quality and integrity.
Our Partnership Philosophy
Hibrkraft is not simply looking for suppliers or vendors; we are looking for long-term partners who share our commitment to quality, to ethics, and to doing the work well. This Code applies to all our partners, including raw-material suppliers, service providers, distributors and collaborators. We believe a strong supply chain is built on a foundation of trust and shared values.
The Core Principles of Partnership
- Integrity and Honesty: We expect full transparency in every business interaction. No hidden costs, no misleading information, no unethical practice.
- Quality Without Compromise: Partners must commit to the highest standard of quality, equal to Hibrkraft's own, in both materials and service.
- Fairness and Respect: Every worker in a partner's supply chain must be treated with respect, treated fairly, and treated in accordance with the applicable labour law.
- Environmental Sustainability: We give priority to partners who show awareness of, and effort towards, minimising the environmental impact of their operations.
A Hibrkraft Partnership Is Not…
A Shortcut
We take no shortcuts on quality. Nor may our partners.
A One-Way Relationship
Partnership is about growing together, not about exploitation.
A Compromise on Ethics
We will never ask a partner to sacrifice their values for profit.
Without Dialogue
Open and honest communication is the key to resolving any problem.
Specific Areas of Commitment
1. Fair Employment
Hibrkraft partners are forbidden to use forced labour, forced child labour, or any other exploitative practice. Every employee must receive fair wages, reasonable working hours, and a safe and healthy working environment.
2. Ethical Material Sourcing
Raw-material suppliers must be able to give information about where their materials come from. We give priority to materials sourced sustainably, without damage to the environment or to local communities.
3. Confidentiality of Information
Any business information, design, or customer data shared during the partnership is confidential, and may not be disclosed to a third party without written consent from Hibrkraft.
4. Enforcement and Consequences
Hibrkraft reserves the right to audit or inspect in order to confirm compliance with this Code. A proven breach may lead to review, suspension, or termination of the partnership. We always put dialogue and improvement first, but we will not tolerate serious or repeated ethical breaches.
Common Questions About Partnership
Who can become a Hibrkraft partner?
We are open to partnership with a range of parties, including raw-material suppliers (leather, paper, thread), service providers (printing, logistics), resellers, corporate agents, and creative collaborators whose vision and values align with our own.
What is the process for becoming a Hibrkraft partner?
It begins with an introduction by email to info@hibrkraft.com. Please include your company profile and explain how we might work together. Our team will review it, and if there is alignment we will arrange a further discussion to go through the potential partnership in detail.
Is there a minimum requirement to become a supplier?
There is no minimum quantity requirement, but we do require high quality and consistency. A supplier must also be willing to be transparent about where their materials come from, and to follow the ethical sourcing principles we hold to.
How does Hibrkraft handle a disagreement with a partner?
We believe strongly in the power of dialogue. If a disagreement or a problem arises, our first step is open communication, to understand each side's perspective and to find a fair solution. Formal action, or ending the relationship, is the last resort.
