Long-Term Factory Relationships

We highly value our long-standing relationships with suppliers, some of which have lasted for more than 40 years. We publish information about our suppliers annually. The list includes sewing and assembly factories (Tier 1). 

We manufacture clothing, footwear, and equipment in several countries. China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh are the largest producers of technical outdoor garments.  In addition, we work with excellent European suppliers in Italy, Ukraine, and Türkiye. We also manufacture beanies and socks in Finland. 

Our quality control team regularly visits factories to monitor product quality and working conditions. 

Supplier Selection Process

We select suppliers through an established process that includes analyzing supplier profiles, certifications, facilities, and equipment. 

Before starting cooperation, we conduct site visits, quality inspections, and assessments of suppliers’ commitment to social and environmental responsibility. 

Cooperation begins with test orders monitored by our local quality control team. As the partnership continues, the quality control team regularly visits the factory. 

Audited Factories in Risk Countries

All our suppliers in risk countries are audited, and our local team visits factories regularly.  As an amfori BSCI member, we require suppliers to undergo regular, objective, and independent audits conducted by third-party auditors. 

While we prefer the BSCI auditing system, we also accept equivalent audits to reduce the audit burden on suppliers.  Through audits, factory visits, and ongoing dialogue with suppliers, we seek to ensure that workers are employed under safe conditions, work reasonable hours, and receive fair wages. 

We do not tolerate child labor, corruption, or discrimination. 

Code of Conduct

We require our suppliers to comply with the amfori BSCI and BEPI Code of Conduct. These commitments are based on internationally recognized principles and promote responsible business practices. They guide amfori members and their partners in respecting human rights and protecting the environment throughout global supply chains. 

First Whistle - Whistleblowing channel

At Halti, our values- courage, responsibility, quality, and collaboration - guide everything we do. Respect and kindness form the foundation of our interactions both within and outside the company. In our diverse team, everyone is encouraged to share their ideas, receive the support they need, and feel safe at work. We do not tolerate discrimination, bullying, or inequality in any form and address such situations immediately. If you suspect that our values, policies, or the law have been violated, we encourage you to report your concerns through the First Whistle reporting channel. 

The channel enables concerns to be raised confidentially and, where necessary, anonymously. To ensure confidentiality, the channel is managed by an independent third party, Juuriharja. We are also committed to protecting whistleblowers from retaliation.
