Periaatteena on, että terveydelle haitallisia  SVHC aineita (formaldehydiä, flataatteja.) ei käytetä lainkaan. Arvojemme mukaiseen laatuun sisältyy vastuu ihmisoikeuskysymyksistä, luonnon- tai eläinsuojelullisia arvoja. Se ei ole vain tuotteen ulkoasuun, ompelutyön laatuun ja laadunvalvonnan tiukkuuteen liittyvää. Arvojemme mukaisesti toimimme ystävällisesti, kunniottavasti ja loukkaamatta ketään kaikessa toiminnassamme.

Teemme hankintoja vain luotettavilta tahoilta ja pitkäaikaisilta liikekumppaneilta joita tapaamme säännöllisesti. Se tarkoittaa sitä, että ne kenen kanssa olemme lähteneet yhteystyöhön ovat omanneet luotettavat referenssit sekä laadullisesti, ekologisesti, että sosiaalisen vastuun osalta. Ensimmäiset yhteystyökumppanit Jutta Designilla oli 17 v sitten olivat Intiassa ja  Egyptissä. (molemmat GOTS sertifoituja). Valmistimme sekä luomupuuvillaisia kankaita, joista valmistimme tuotteita Hyvinkäällä sekä joitakin valmiita tuotteita. Valmistusta on aina ollut sekä Suomessa että ulkomailla.

Meillä on käytössä omavalvonta ja meillä on toimintaamme tukemassa ’Code of Conduct’ jota alihankkijamme noudattavat. Toimintaa pyritään parantamaan yhdessä alihankkijoiden kanssa. Valvomme vastuullisuutta tutustumalla alihankkijoihin itse, käyttämällä kansainvälisten laboratorioiden palveluja sekä sertifioinnneilla GOTS, Amfori BSCI, SMETA ect. Kaikkeen tuotantoon käytämme sertioituja valmistusprosesseja sekä laboratoriokokeita varmistamaan tuotteen korkean laadun. Kaikki ulkomailla valmistetut luomupuuvillatuotteet ovat GOTS sertifioituja. Kotimaan valmistuksessa on luomupuuvilla sertifoitua kangasta. Raaka-aineiden ja komponenttien osalta meillä pätee samat periaatteet.

Emme ole vielä Amfori BSCI jäsenenä johtuen siitä, että olemme pienyritys, mutta todennäköisesti pääsemme mukaan jo vuoden alkupuoliskolla, jolloin meillä on mahdollisuus myös itse pyytää ko auditointia. Päässemme myös UN Global Compact jäseneksi, kun he ottavat mukaan pienyritykset. Vuonna 2019 se ei vielä ole ollut mahdollista.

Sosiaaliseen vastuullisuuteen liittyy paljon haasteita.  Maissa joissa ei olisi työlainsäädännön sopimuksia, on ILON periaatteet kirjattava työntekijöitä koskevaan sopimukseen erikseen. Jutta Jantunen on johtanut ILON työllisyyttä ja kestävää kehitystä edistävää projektia mm. Sambiassa ja haasteet ovat kehitysmaassa valtaisat. Rakenteelliset ja koulutukselliset ongelmat ja standardien ja infrastruktuurin puutteellisuus.
