In 1997, Optimara developed a Social Responsibility Program covering those who provide imported goods and services to the company. This Program establishes strict working guidelines and humanitar-ian conditions under which items are to be manufactured in countries outside the United States.

The objective of this program is to assure a safe and equitable working environment for foreign workers and prevent their exploitation. Since the inception of the program, this objective has been met by re-solving several issues where working conditions have significantly been improved above the normally required standards. The program has been successful for the employee, who has a more enjoyable working experience, and the employer, who has a more stable, productive workforce. The results of this program make it possible for Optimara and its customers to enjoy better products, consistent in quality, at a fair and reasonable price.

We are proud of the fact that we can not only offer a high quality value product, but we can proudly say that all Optimara products are produced in a Socially Responsible working environment.
