Effective April 2026
Well Woven Inc. ("Well Woven," "we," or "us") is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for the people and communities involved in our supply chain. This Vendor Code of Conduct (the "Code") establishes the minimum standards we expect from every factory, mill, supplier, contractor, and agent (collectively, "Vendors") who manufactures, supplies, or provides services to Well Woven.
Our products reach homes and families across the United States. The trust our retail partners and their customers place in us depends on every link in our supply chain operating responsibly. This Code reflects that responsibility.
This Code applies to all Vendors and their employees, agents, and subcontractors involved in the production, processing, finishing, packaging, warehousing, or transportation of goods and services for Well Woven. Vendors are responsible for communicating these standards to their own subcontractors and ensuring compliance throughout their operations.
Vendors must conduct all business with Well Woven honestly and in good faith. This includes providing accurate information about production capabilities, lead times, material sourcing, pricing, and inventory. Misrepresentation of product specifications, origin, composition, or compliance status is grounds for immediate termination of the business relationship.
Vendors must not offer, promise, or provide bribes, kickbacks, or improper payments of any kind to Well Woven employees, agents, or any third party in connection with our business. This includes gifts, entertainment, or favors that could reasonably be perceived as an attempt to influence business decisions. Modest, customary business courtesies (such as a meal during a factory visit) are acceptable; anything beyond that should be disclosed.
Vendors must disclose any relationship — familial, financial, or otherwise — with any Well Woven employee that could create an actual or perceived conflict of interest. Such disclosure must be made in writing to Well Woven management before or immediately upon discovery of the relationship.
Vendors must compete fairly and comply with all applicable antitrust and competition laws. Price-fixing, bid-rigging, market allocation, and other anticompetitive practices are strictly prohibited.
Vendors must not use forced, bonded, indentured, or involuntary labor of any kind. Workers must be free to leave employment upon reasonable notice. Vendors must not require workers to surrender identification documents, passports, or work permits as a condition of employment.
Vendors must not employ anyone under the age of 15 or under the minimum legal working age established by the country of operation, whichever is higher. Workers under the age of 18 must not perform hazardous work or work during nighttime hours.
Vendors must compensate workers in compliance with all applicable wage laws, including minimum wage, overtime, and legally mandated benefits. Working hours must not exceed the limits set by applicable law, and workers must receive at least one day off per seven-day period. Overtime must be voluntary and compensated at legally required rates.
Vendors must not discriminate in hiring, compensation, promotion, or termination based on race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, age, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law. Every worker must be treated with dignity and respect. Harassment, abuse, corporal punishment, and intimidation — whether physical, sexual, psychological, or verbal — are strictly prohibited.
Vendors must respect workers' rights to freely associate, organize, and bargain collectively in accordance with applicable laws, without fear of retaliation, interference, or intimidation.
Vendors must provide a safe and healthy work environment that meets or exceeds applicable health and safety laws and regulations. This includes adequate ventilation, lighting, sanitation, fire safety measures, and access to clean drinking water. Emergency exits must be clearly marked, unobstructed, and accessible at all times. Workers must receive appropriate safety training for their roles.
Vendors must comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. We encourage our Vendors to minimize waste, reduce energy and water consumption, and manage chemical substances responsibly. Vendors must properly handle, store, and dispose of hazardous materials in accordance with applicable regulations.
Vendors must ensure that all materials, components, and finished products supplied to Well Woven conform to agreed-upon specifications, including fiber content, dimensions, weight, colorfastness, and construction type. Any material substitutions must be disclosed and approved by Well Woven in writing before production.
All products supplied to Well Woven must comply with applicable U.S. federal and state regulations, including but not limited to the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), flammability standards (16 CFR Part 1630 and 1631 for carpets and rugs), the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act, and California Proposition 65 where applicable. Vendors selling products certified under voluntary standards (e.g., Oeko-Tex Standard 100) must maintain valid certification and provide documentation upon request.
Vendors must accurately and truthfully label or declare the country of origin of all products in accordance with U.S. Customs and Border Protection requirements and the Federal Trade Commission's country-of-origin labeling rules. Misrepresentation of origin is a serious compliance violation and is strictly prohibited.
All proprietary information shared between Well Woven and its Vendors — including product designs, pricing structures, customer information, sales data, and business strategies — is confidential. Vendors must not disclose, reproduce, or use confidential information for any purpose other than fulfilling their obligations to Well Woven. This obligation survives the termination of the business relationship.
Vendors must not subcontract any portion of Well Woven production without prior written approval. Any approved subcontractor must comply with this Code, and the primary Vendor remains fully responsible for the subcontractor's compliance.
Vendors must maintain accurate and complete records related to their business with Well Woven, including production records, shipping documents, compliance certifications, and financial transactions. Records must be retained for a minimum of five (5) years and made available to Well Woven upon reasonable request.
Well Woven reserves the right to monitor Vendor compliance with this Code through audits, inspections, and documentation reviews, conducted either by Well Woven personnel or authorized third parties. Vendors must provide reasonable access to facilities, records, and workers for this purpose.
Non-compliance with this Code may result in corrective action plans, suspension of orders, or termination of the business relationship, depending on the severity and nature of the violation.
Vendors who become aware of any violation of this Code — whether within their own operations or elsewhere in the Well Woven supply chain — are encouraged to report it. Reports can be made to:
Well Woven Inc. Email: compliance@wellwoven.com Phone: 973-689-9261
Reports will be reviewed promptly and handled with appropriate confidentiality. Retaliation against anyone who reports a concern in good faith is strictly prohibited.
By continuing to do business with Well Woven Inc., Vendors acknowledge that they have received, read, and understood this Code and agree to comply with its terms. Well Woven may update this Code from time to time, and Vendors are expected to review and comply with the most current version.
