Mattel manufactures products in company-owned and/or -operated facilities and through third-party manufacturers.
In 1997, Mattel became one of the first toy companies to create standards for responsible manufacturing.
Since then, these principles have become the foundation for Mattel’s Responsible Supply Chain Commitment (RSCC), a comprehensive set of standards and oversight processes that establish our expectations for responsible factory working conditions, environmental protections, social compliance, labor, and environmental, health, and safety in both our own manufacturing facilities and those of our supply chain partners.
We regularly monitor and audit manufacturing facilities in our supply chain for compliance with the RSCC. Mattel-owned and/or -operated manufacturing facilities are monitored by our internal and/or external teams for quality and security, as well as compliance with RSCC, and to meet similar requirements of key retailers and licensed-in partners. Mattel uses a risk-based approach to require audit data from finished goods manufacturers and monitors the performance of certain printed packaging suppliers.
