The key to sustainability is to get away from the wear and tear mentality that exists today. We created our first environment policy in 1983 and in 1996 we were the very first in Sweden to ISO-certify for the management of both, Environment ISO 14001 and Quality ISO 9001. In 2015, we also committed to the UN Global Compact Agreement, where we demand that our people and suppliers comply with the UN's principles on human rights, labour law issues, the environment, anti-corruption, modern slavery and human trafficking.

We process thousands of orders every year and and we think it is really important to balance sustainability and practicality when it comes to you receiving your new Rahmqvist products. Today our choice of packaging is made from 100% recyclable and re-usable material, guaranteed.
Climate Change is affecting our planet and today, we can choose to make a difference through our personal consumption. In 2015 Rahmqvist became participants of the UN Global Compact Agreement, which considers ten universal principles relating to Human Rights, Modern Slavery, Labour Fairness, Environment. More recently, we achieved a Gold rating for Carbon Offset, which supported our push to recycle and re-purpose our own operational resources in an environmentally efficient way. Products that inspired us along the way included our hugely popular Gluestick, that now benefits from a plastic cap and tube that has already been recycled, our Modelling Clays that are FREE FROM Gluten, Nut, Wheat and Latex and a whole range of Rahmqvist products classified as 'Long Life' for their durability in a working environment. We advocate that better never stops and if everyone does a little, a lot can be achieved.
We are proud of the Rahmqvist Foundation Centre, an orphanage / skill school that Leif Rahmqvist built in most northern region of South Africa. Leif's vision was to provide homeless and abused children with a safe place to grow up, with nutritious food, clean drinking water and an education for life. Today, this vision is a reality.
