Eagle Protect's 2020 Impact Report highlights the company's environmental and social impact and performance. Disposable gloves and clothing are mandatory in the medical, food and industrial industries, and the various ways of manufacturing and sourcing these products affect their impact, and food safety.
The initiation of Eagle's Fingerprint testing across its New Zealand & USA businesses is further testament ensuring Eagle is supplying the cleanest, safest and best quality gloves, mitigating chemical and microbial glove hazard contaminants. A recent product recall due to a toxic chemical found in gloves is one such example of the issues of cheap gloves with poor manufacturing quality control procedures in place.
Eagle's B Corporation® certification is unique to the PPE supply industry and ensures against sourcing from suppliers found guilty of labor rights violations (https://blog.eagleprotect.com/labor-rights-issues-glove-manufacturing-covid19) and selling reject and fraudulent products (https://blog.eagleprotect.com/glove-risks-in-your-supply-chain). These quality and labor violations are not uncommon in the glove manufacturing industries and have been further highlighted due to the recent COVID related PPE supply and demand deficit.
