Corporate Responsibility
At My Oh My, we are committed to creating high-quality, safe, and ethically crafted products that bring joy and comfort to our customers while ensuring we uphold the highest standards of safety, sustainability, and social responsibility.
Product Safety and Compliance
The safety of our customers, particularly children, is our top priority. Every teddy bear sold by My Oh My is fully CE and UKCA marked, demonstrating compliance with rigorous safety standards required in the UK and the European Union.
Our commitment to safety is backed by adherence to the following directives and standards:
- Directive 2009/48/EC and its amendments, including Council Directive (EU) 2017/738 and Commission Directive (EU) 2018/725.
- British Standard EN 71 Compliance:
- Mechanical and Physical Properties: EN 71-1:2014+A1:2018
- Flammability: EN 71-2:2020
- Migration of Certain Elements: EN 71-3:2019+A1:2021
By meeting these standards, we ensure that our products are free from harmful substances, safe to handle, and durable enough to withstand everyday use.
Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
We recognize the importance of protecting the planet for future generations. My Oh My is committed to minimizing our environmental footprint through thoughtful practices:
- Eco-Friendly Materials: Whenever possible, we source materials that are sustainably produced, ethically harvested, and recyclable.
- Minimal Waste: Our production processes are designed to reduce waste, and we encourage customers to recycle or donate unused items responsibly.
- Sustainable Packaging: We are transitioning to biodegradable and recyclable packaging materials to reduce single-use plastics.
Ethical Manufacturing
We believe in fair and transparent practices across our supply chain. To ensure ethical production:
- Fair Labour Practices: We partner with suppliers and manufacturers who prioritize worker rights, fair wages, and safe working conditions.
- Local Partnerships: By sourcing materials and manufacturing within the UK wherever possible, we reduce transportation emissions and support the local economy.
- Craftsmanship: Our handmade teddy bears reflect the skill and dedication of artisans who take pride in their craft.
Community Engagement
We are passionate about giving back to the community. My Oh My regularly supports local charities and initiatives aimed at improving children’s well-being. Through partnerships and donations, we strive to make a positive difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Transparency and Accountability
Our customers’ trust is of paramount importance. We are committed to transparency in our operations and provide clear information about our products, including:
- Detailed care instructions for maintaining product safety and longevity.
- Clear distinctions between collectible and play-use items to help customers make informed decisions.
Commitment to Continuous Improvement
The journey toward corporate responsibility is ongoing. We continually assess and refine our practices to align with evolving safety, environmental, and social standards. By listening to our customers, monitoring industry trends, and staying informed about new regulations, we aim to exceed expectations in every aspect of our business.
