Supply Chain Statement
Montane® have all our products produced in 5 factories across Europe and Asia with high quality, experienced manufacturer partners. We have one quality standard and it applies to all of our products regardless of location of manufacture. We value long term business relationships where we can get to know a manufacturer and its employees. This ensures they understand our high quality standards and we have a greater understanding of their strengths.
Every manufacturing facility is selected for its technical ability and social responsibility practices. Each facility is regularly visited, monitored and reported on by the product team to ensure a safe and fair working environment for their employees. In order to make our position clear to our manufacturers we apply a Code of Conduct that places demands on them, and acceptance of these demands is a pre-condition for becoming a Montane® manufacturer. The code covers such issues as child labour, terms of employment, health & safety, the working environment and the prevention of cruelty to animals.
Animal Rights Statement
Down used in our products is not plucked from live birds, but rather it is gathered during food production as a natural by-product. We use one grade of goose down in the production of Montane® clothing which is 800 cuin fill power.
Montane® Goose down is sourced via our Japanese specialist Goose down agent. They provide us with an annual guarantee and quality checked by our own internal team that their down is not plucked from live birds. We work closely with them to ensure a consistently high quality product and it continually meets these essential requirements.
