We believe in using our business as a force for good.
Just Doing Our Part
We make every effort to do our part as responsible stewards in our community, to maintain awareness and consciousness around sustainability in our daily practices, and to make meaningful decisions to do positive things for our planet. Here, you'll find some examples of how this commitment guides our business model every day.
Our Manufacturing Integrity
On a daily basis, Kinco pushes itself to deliver the highest quality product and the best value to our customers. In order to do this successfully, we rely on our employees to practice the company’s core values, and on our partners in business to lead with the same strong integrity – whether it’s deciding on where to buy raw material or where Kinco’s products are being sold. It is essential to us that every business relationship we foster is a mutually beneficial partnership in which all involved have a clear understanding of the values that Kinco represents.
We realize the importance of constant open communication to achieve this transparency. Our Purchasing Team in Portland works diligently to build and maintain strong relationships with our employees and manufacturers on the ground overseas. This collaboration helps to ensure good ethics are being followed, production is meeting deadlines, and consistency and high-quality standards are met. We have a code of conduct for our vendors which has only strengthened our valuable relationships, some of which have flourished for nearly 50 years. Similarly, our Sales Team throughout the United States is continuously connected with our headquarters in Portland to ensure the company’s standards and goals are being accurately portrayed and shared with our customers.
As a US-based second-generation family run company, Kinco has a strong commitment to treating its employees, manufacturers, and customers as our extended family and stands behind them 100%.
Sustainable Practices
Our passion is gloves, and that goes hand-in-hand with a love and respect for the great outdoors. We recognize the importance of our responsibility and commitment to sustainable practices for the present and future.
Sustainability in
Our Product
We believe that creating dependable, long-lasting products is the most powerful lever we can pull to minimize our environmental impact. We maximize performance and durability through thoughtful, in-depth consideration of intended use, and by selecting proven materials that endure the test of time.
In addition,
We utilize leftover leather pieces (also known as “fringes”) of our adult-sized gloves to manufacture some our kid-sized gloves, ensuring that our kids product utilize the same great materials as our adult styles and mitigates waste of even our smallest scraps.
We offer modular, multi-purpose displays. Most of our displays use interchangeable components, ensuring that we can cut down on die-cuts, versions, and disparate pieces. Many of our display shipping cartons are upcycled as they convert into the display's base when placed on the retail floor.
We make volume and material choices for our purchases in the most economical way to reduce excess waste and reduce transportation pollution.
