26 CYBERGROUP PROCESS-CONTROLLED DEVELOPMENT As part of our product development, we work in accordance with DIN ISO 9001: 2015. The entire process from brainstorming a concept to the initial sample and then the finished product is defined according to defined processes. Our global quality management provides our clients with confidence due to the assurance that their products meet all the necessary legal requirements such as REACH, ProdSG or the toy directive 2009/48 / EC as well as compliance with the standards defined by Cybergroup regarding quality and materials. Always keeping in mind the end goal: to deliver great high quality, ethically sourced products that deliver for you brand. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT All of our suppliers work in accordance with the UN Global Compact guidelines, the leading social standards for humane working conditions and adequate occupational health and safety. All supplier production facilities are regularly audited by members of our team from purchasing and quality management. The aim being to develop and support our suppliers and production sites. In doing so, we check all working conditions, labour records, waste management and are on hand to provide advice via a constant exchange of communication. In addition to these steps, we conduct extensive quality control goods inspections via our own team of trained quality management staff. OUR PRODUCT RANGE As a consumer, you rarely choose an advertising medium yourself. More often than not you receive it as a bonus or a gift. It is almost impossible to know where it comes from and how it has been made. At Cybergroup it as our duty to bring products onto the market that are of high quality, professionally sourced and that are manufactured according to the highest social and ecological standards. To this end, we continue to refine and work with our supplier portfolio under sustainable aspects and enable our customers to have access to high-quality and, above all, sustainable advertising materials at an attractive price. We are continually challenged by our clients to go beyond producing just great looking products. The focus is on value, the customer's brand should be conveyed credibly. This is where the topic of sustainability is a key factor, it is no longer simply a case of price. The ongoing lifecycle and reuse of materials also plays a role. Both the use of processed materials (upcycling) and the use of secondary raw materials are part of our philosophy. So far, these materials have mainly been used in the context of individual customer productions. Whether old banners, old seat covers or leather scraps from production: If the material is suitable and available, what was going to be discarded as waste has been turned into a new merchandise favourite. TEXTILIEN Textiles occupy a large part of our product range. Our main concern is to convince the customer to dress him/herself mainly with natural raw materials. We favor the most used cotton according to Ökotex standards, or GOTS certified natural fibers. Again it should be mentioned that we want to have a positive impact on the chemicals used, especially in the area of corporate fashion, with the partnership that we have entered into with bluesign® since June 1, 2022. UPCYCLING Reduce, reuse, recycle – cyber-Wear is also committed to following the 3Rs of recycling. And we now have our own catalogue of upcycled products. Our goal is to constantly reduce the number of new products that are thrown away despite the fact that they have not yet reached the end of their life cycle. This is in particular a major
