Responsibility: A sustainable company takes responsibility for its actions and the impact they have on the environment and society. This includes reducing waste, minimizing their carbon footprint, and ensuring that their products and processes are safe and sustainable.
Transparency: A sustainable company is transparent about their operations, including their supply chain, products, and impact on the environment and society.
Sustainability: A sustainable company prioritizes sustainability in all aspects of their business, from sourcing materials to reducing waste and emissions.
Innovation: A sustainable company is always looking for ways to improve their processes and products to reduce their impact on the environment and society. They also invest in research and development to create new and innovative solutions for sustainability.
Collaboration: A sustainable company recognizes that sustainability is a shared responsibility and works with stakeholders, including suppliers, customers, and government, to create positive change.
Community Involvement: A sustainable company values the communities in which they operate and strives to be a positive force, providing support and resources to help these communities thrive.
Employee Engagement: A sustainable company values and engages its employees, providing a safe, healthy, and supportive work environment and encouraging their involvement in sustainability initiatives.
These values are not only important for the long-term success of a sustainable company, but they also contribute to creating a better world for future generations.

Sustainable Toy Development
A Sustainable toy is made of biodegradable natural materials such as renewable wood, cotton, bamboo, or wool. A sustainable toy has been manufactured in a nonpolluting way. A way without releasing carbon, greenhouse gases, or chemical toxins. These can be released into the waterways and the environment. Even though a toy is wooden, it still can be produced in such a way that is harmful. It can be harmful to the environment, its workers, and the community around its production of it. For example, wooden toys made in 3rd party factories using various branding are susceptible to these nonsustainable practices. There are varying degrees of “sustainability” with toys and the manufacturing process. Also, many toy companies are light years ahead in sustainability. Fewer have better eco-friendly production than other companies. Some wooden toy companies are newer on their sustainability journey. Many are working toward better eco-friendly practices.
