responsible sourcing

From a factory perspective, while oversite is baseline, transparency, traceability, and on-going evolution of innovative responsible sourcing practices was the focus as Weihai Luda partnered with an industry expert, ELEVATE, to create and scale a rigorous factory assessment and tracking tool to increase transparency and collaboration across our entire factory matrix with our retail partners. The result – an industry leading tool that provides real time insights and reporting.

supporting artisans

To protect and increase equity within the worlds artisan communities, Weihai Luda created a new tool and implemented a new process in partnership with Target and NEST. This partnership required many touchpoints across US and in-country teams, ultimately leading to a scalable and transparent tool and process to increase equity within the homeworker supply chain to be used by all manufacturers within the handcraft/artisan industry.
