Addressing Other Sourcing Countries
While we strive to source from countries that align with our values, the global supply chain sometimes requires us to source materials from countries like Bangladesh, Vietnam, Cuba, China, India, Indonesia, and Brazil. We acknowledge that these countries may not fully align with American ideals due to differences in labor practices, government policies, or ethical standards. For example, China and India’s involvement in global textile production means some of our cotton may originate there, while Brazil’s challenges with deforestation impact its alignment with our sustainability goals. However, we are actively working to reduce reliance on these sources by seeking alternatives in countries that better reflect our principles. Our goal is to increase sourcing from aligned countries like Canada and Italy, ensuring that every material we use supports our mission of faith, family, and freedom.
Tying This to Our Mission
At Crown & Creed Unlimited, our mission is to celebrate American craftsmanship while promoting values of faith, family, and freedom. Sourcing materials from countries that align with these ideals allows us to maintain the quality and integrity of our products while supporting ethical global practices. By assembling every product in the USA, we ensure that the heart of our brand remains rooted in American values. We’re committed to transparency in our supply chain, and we’ll continue to evolve our sourcing practices to better reflect our mission.
