The Caiseed Supplier Code of Conduct has always set high standards for the products produced. Suppliers must provide a safe, respectable workplace and protect the environment while ensuring product quality. This guideline applies to our partners at all levels and must be followed even if it exceeds local, regional and national laws.
Building opportunities for those who build our products.

Every year we will deepen the cooperation with suppliers to protect the earth. Together, we will save more energy and water, use safer organic fertilizers and biological control technologies, and eliminate waste through hands-on collaborative programs. As we push our suppliers towards best practices beyond themselves, we openly share what we have learned to accelerate the collective positive impact on the planet.

Climate Change
Taking big steps toward a smaller carbon footprint.
Caiseed and its suppliers work together to reduce the overall carbon footprint of the products as much as possible. We require suppliers to use 100% natural energy, the sun, to dry our products. The use of the sun to dry seeds is a very primitive, very expensive, but environmentally friendly and energy-saving drying method. This drying method can even allow seeds to absorb a small amount of carbon dioxide in the air.

Creating a ripple effect that drives change.
Our commitment to people and the planet doesn’t end at our supply chain. We seek to be an example for others to follow, openly sharing our progress to accelerate industrywide change. And we’re proud of the global recognition we’ve received for our efforts. But we know our work will never be done, because we believe that if we aren’t finding ways to improve, we aren’t looking hard enough.
"We believe that enterprises can do more and better in environmental protection and humanistic care, just as our endless pursuit of higher quality."
