1. Why Ethical Sourcing Matters in Stationery Manufacturing
Protect Workers’ Rights: Standards like BSCI and ISO 9001 ensure fair wages, safe conditions, no child or forced labor. Lion Paper holds BSCI, ISO 9001, CPSIA, California Proposition 65 and more—evidence we meet global best practices.
Enhance Brand Trust: Buyers—and end consumers—care deeply how products are made. Certifications and transparent audits build credibility every step of the way.
Reduce Risk & Compliance Burdens: With modern laws like EU’s CSDDD, U.S. UFLPA, and Germany’s Supply Chain Act, having robust ethical sourcing shields against regulatory issues.

2. The Elements of a Responsible Supply Chain

Real data record and video‑based quality inspections by our team ensure every production step is verifiable.
B. Supplier Audits and Certifications
We undergo amfori BSCI audits, risk-based supplier pre‑qualification, and corrective action plans when required.
Our quality system integrates ISO9001 with social‑compliance auditing, ensuring ongoing monitoring.
