The International Featured Standards (IFS) is a comprehensive safety system with a uniform assessment protocol for supplier qualification and selection. It allows retailers to be sure that their products are safe and monitor the quality of the suppliers of products to which they attach their brand as distributor.<br \/>\nAt AMD, production relies on a mutually beneficial partnership between suppliers and service-providers. It is up to us to check that they meet environmental and cost criteria by the granting of international certificates and labels.<br \/>\nOur suppliers are selected on the basis of the quality of their raw materials, the advantages of the partnership and demonstration of their commitment to sustainable development. Cost considerations only come into play after an assessment of such ethical aspects.<br \/>\nPaper pulp, the main natural raw material of manufacture, is derived from renewable forest under the aegis of a responsible international programme. Our pulp supplier has top-level IFS certification meaning that all of its produce comes from sustainably maintained forest. In addition, the pulp is shipped by sea, the least polluting mode of transport (certificate provided on request)[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;HUMAN RESOURCES: ANOTHER SPUR TO A REGION\u2019S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT&#8221;
