# Supply chains

We consciously partner with suppliers who share our values. While we continue to support our in-house team and reduce our own environmental impact, the biggest difference comes when the entire supply chain is aligned. Positive change is most powerful when every link in the chain is committed to making responsible decisions.

We are proud of the partnerships we have developed with our **offshore factories** to create **bespoke, custom-made merchandise**. Each factory is required to meet internationally recognised **accreditations and reporting standards** as a base level. We maintain a **scorecard and accreditation records** for every partner, updated annually, and we visit as many of these factories in person as possible to ensure standards are upheld.

By holding ourselves and our partners accountable, we are able to offer clients confidence that the **custom screen printing, embroidery, and merchandise** they order is made responsibly and with care at every stage of production.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.theprintroom.nz/responsibility/social/supply-chains.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
