Animal welfare 動物福祉

No live plucking, no force feeding, no mulesing

The suffering of animals so that people can satisfy their needs is unacceptable. Fjällräven has never accepted any kind of ill-treatment of animals associated with the manufacturing of our products. When animals are involved in our production methods, we ensure that they are raised and treated ethically and that no animal is hurt or subjected to suffering due to careless treatment.

Animals shall be treated with respect

Fjällräven’s approach to animal welfare is detailed in our Code of Conduct, which all our suppliers must sign. Here is a short summary of our pledges:

• We do not accept the plucking of live geese or force-feeding techniques. We only use high-quality down from strictly controlled suppliers, where the down is a by-product of food production. We received an honourable mention in 2010 for our handling of down.

• We do not use real fur in clothing, accessories or any other products. Instead we use our synthetic alternative, Arctic Fur.

• We do not accept the practice of mulesing, the surgical procedure carried out on merino sheep in Australia to make them less attractive to blowflies. We only purchase wool from suppliers who can guarantee mulesing-free merino wool.

Save the Arctic Fox Project

In addition to focusing on animal welfare in the production of our products, we have supported several different projects working with preserving the endangered Scandinavian arctic fox since the early 1990s. Projects are conducted in cooperation with Stockholm University.

不活體拔毛、不強制灌食、不割皮防蠅

我們不能為了滿足人類的需要而使動物受苦，Fjällräven絕不容許產品製造時發生任何形式的虐待動物。我們的產品如果必須依賴動物，一定會確保牠們是被人道飼養和對待，不能用輕率的方式讓牠們感到痛楚和煎熬。

動物應受到尊重

Fjällräven保障動物福祉的方法詳述於我們的《行為守則》，我們所有的供應商都必須簽署這項守則。這裡簡單說明我們的承諾：

• 我們不允許對鵝隻活體拔毛或強制灌食，我們只與嚴格控管的供應商合作，取用頂級羽絨，且必須是食品加工的副產品。我們處理羽絨的態度讓我們在2010年榮獲表揚。

• 我們的服飾、配件或其他產品皆不使用真毛， 而是採用一種人造的北極毛。

• 我們不接受割皮防蠅的作法，這是一種施行於澳洲美麗諾羊，讓牠們不易招蠅的手術。我們的羊毛供應商必須保證他們提供的美麗諾羊毛是不施行割皮防蠅手術的。

保育北極狐計畫

我們除了注重產品生產過程的動物福祉之外，從1990年代初期開始就贊助幾項不同的計畫，參與保育瀕臨絕種的北歐北極狐。這些計畫是與斯德哥爾摩大學共同執行的。
