OUR VALUES
• Respect for human rights. The people who design, manufacture, distribute, sell, and service Specialized products all deserve to earn fair wages and work in safe conditions, free from coercion, harassment, or abuse.
• Respect for the planet. We will seek to deliver the highest performance products with the minimum footprint and longest life.
• Respect for communities. Collaboration is key to progress on the most difficult challenges we face. Whether we're advocating for local trails, or for better labor and environmental standards in the global bike industry, we seek to collaborate with like-minded individuals and companies who can help us affect the change we wish to see in our communities.
As founding members of the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry Responsible Sporting Initiative (RSI), we are collaborating with a coalition of leading brands and suppliers to create shared standards, tools, and a shared supplier database via the Fair Factories Clearing House. The RSI has enabled us to both quickly and efficiently improve labor and environmental performance in our supply chain, and it serves as a model for what's possible when we collaborate to address shared challenges. If you are a bike brand or supplier, we welcome your participation. Please contact: support@responsiblesportinitiative.org
