Here is a bit more about the values and ethics of RICE:
RICE dk wish to surround you with homely objects – down to earth but still funky, fun and functional.
RICE dk have a big heart and strong social ethics.
RICE dk support Global Compact, and are the first Scandinavian company certified by the SA8000 standard *, based on projects with suppliers around the world.
RICE is all about fun, funkiness and functionality, but it works with their hearts as well, and knows that the company can make a difference by acting responsibly. Most RICE dk products are made by workers in third world countries. Therefore RICE makes sure, that all of its joyfully colourful things are produced with high regards to human rights, healthy labour conditions and with no use of child labour.
RICE also do charity and take an active part in developmental projects around the world. It cooperates with different organisations on creating viable and socially responsible development in third world countries. A special RICE way of giving support is the RICE–up products, where the surplus from certain products helps developmental projects in third world countries.
RICE dk firmly believes that no one can help everybody, but everybody can help somebody.
Why RICE?
