Safe products with high quality
You should feel safe with a product from Star Trading.
Whether it is electrical safety or other product requirements, you can be sure that we do everything to ensure that our products are safe and comply with applicable laws and regulations.
We strive to ensure that our products are of the best possible quality, which includes not only the durability and function of the products but also that all necessary documentation is available, that the labelling is correct and that there are clear user instructions.
We also work in close co-operation with our suppliers to build up quality systems and ensure that production takes place under controlled conditions.
In addition to various checks such as functional checks and visual inspections that are carried out on each item during production, careful spot checks are also carried out before the items are shipped from the factory. When the goods arrive at our central warehouse, further random checks and tests are carried out.
All to ensure that the product meets our requirements.
Environment
We comply with applicable laws and directives in the environmental field and actively work with these issues within industry associations.
We take our producer responsibility seriously by being affiliated with El-kretsen and NPA. NPA – Näringslivets Producentansvar (Business Producer Responsibility) is an approved producer responsibility organisation that works to promote the development of circular and traceable material recycling – so that more packaging can be reused as packaging. npa.se/sv
We are also working continuously to reduce the use of plastic in our packaging.
With FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) certification, we are helping to promote sustainable forestry. FSC® Controlled timber limits the risk of timber coming from unacceptable sources. FSC's rules for controlled wood prohibit: illegally harvested wood, wood harvested in violation of traditional and human rights, wood from forests with threatened high conservation values, wood from forests with genetically modified trees, and wood from large-scale conversion of forests to plantations or other land uses. For more information on FSC-controlled wood, see fsc.org/en/cw.
But one of our most important environmental responsibilities is, of course, to continuously develop products with the highest possible energy efficiency.
Social responsibility
Most of our production today takes place in independent factories in Asia. Star Trading places high demands on good working conditions in these factories. We ensure this through a long-standing collaboration with amfori BSCI, which with regular factory inspections helps us to maintain and constantly improve working conditions at the factories.
The amfori BSCI ensures the following:
Worker empowerment and protection
Right to freedom of association and collective bargaining
No incidence of discrimination, violence and harassment
Fair wages
Decent working hours
Occupational health and safety
No incidence of child labour
