We’re incredibly excited to announce that Yummikeys have won the Bizziebaby gold award for our animal keys. We received a hat trick of awards with our YummiNecklace and Scan necklace winning bronze and silver respectively. These awards are based entirely on impartial feedback from parent testers so this is a massive achievement for us as a small Scottish business. 

Yummikeys are manufactured in China because we can’t have them manufactured in the UK or Europe because production just doesn’t exist for luxury stainless steel jewellery like it does in China. The quality they are made to is exceptional because this is such a specialist area for our manufacturer. To ensure we are only using an ethical manufacturer we commissioned a Sedex audit which is an audit to ensure that the business adheres to ethical trade standards. We of course passed this audit on every front. Just a few of the areas they check are:

👉🏽Forced labour

👉🏽Health and safety

👉🏽Child labour and young workers

👉🏽Wages and benefits

👉🏽Working hours

👉🏽Discrimination

👉🏽Regular employment

When you own a business you quickly realise how important it is to lead the way in terms of ethical practices. It drives me mad that as a small business we can prioritise and develop ethical business standards yet large businesses with all of their various resources can't. 🌍

Yummikeys toys are now carbon neutral 🌍

I'm thrilled to be able to share that for all of 2020 and going forwards Yummikeys toys are officially entirely carbon neutral, both for their production and for their usage (even including them being washed).

We've had to jump through a fair few hoops to receive this accreditation and we have invested in a carbon offset scheme replanting trees in Scotland for the emissions that we do produce.

I hope you'll agree with us about how important this is.
