Sustainability in Handicrafts: How FEH Supports Eco-Friendly Production
Introduction: Sustainability as a Core Demand in Modern Sourcing
Global retailers and sourcing teams are placing stronger emphasis on ethical manufacturing, environmental responsibility, and transparent supply chains. As consumers choose brands aligned with sustainability values, home décor companies must ensure that their suppliers meet international ESG requirements.
Vietnam, known for its strong craft heritage and natural materials, has become a preferred sourcing destination for eco home décor—but not all suppliers follow rigorous sustainability practices.
At Far Eastern Handicraft (FEH), sustainability is not a marketing claim—it is a structured system integrated into every stage of production. From raw materials to labor policies and QC processes, FEH is committed to being a sustainable handicraft supplier for global buyers.
Certifications of origin and quality are highly valued across craft villages and manufacturing companies
FEH’s ESG Commitment: A Responsible Approach to Craft Manufacturing
FEH follows a comprehensive ESG framework built around three pillars: Environmental, Social, and Governance.
This ensures long-term sustainability, compliance with global retailer requirements, and ethical production for handmade goods.
Environmental Responsibility: Eco-Friendly Production at the Core
Natural materials are at the heart of FEH’s product portfolio. We focus on minimizing environmental impact through:
Sustainable & Renewable Raw Materials
FEH sources materials that are:
-
Rapidly renewable (bamboo, rattan)
-
Abundantly available (seagrass, water hyacinth)
-
Biodegradable and non-toxic

These fibers require low energy and minimal chemicals, making them ideal for eco home décor.
FSC-Certified Wood & Paper
For products containing wood or packaging materials, FEH supports FSC-certified sourcing, ensuring:
-
Legally harvested timber

Low-Impact Manufacturing Processes
FEH employs:
-
Handcrafted production (minimal machinery)
