Creating a Better, Safer Environment.
Mission Statement
Redbubble is creating the world’s largest marketplace for independent artists, bringing more creativity into the world. A great mission that also comes with great responsibility. To not only empower artists and foster self-expression, but do so in ethical, socially responsible ways. Which is where our printing partners (and all the words below) come in.
Print on Demand
Every product on the Redbubble marketplace is printed on demand (made one at a time). That means it doesn’t exist until you order it. So we don’t have warehouses full of stuff waiting to be sold. Inspiration can’t be mass produced.
A Small Footprint
95% of the Redbubble Marketplace packages originate within the same region from which they are ordered. So when you find something that you love on the marketplace, it’s using far less energy to get to you.
Carbon Neutrality
We’ve partnered with renewable energy specialists 3Degrees to invest in programs that help the environment, offsetting the carbon emissions from shipping Redbubble products. Find out more
FLA Code of Conduct

To make sure these requirements are met, they must adhere to the FLA Code of Conduct and its benchmark standards.
Redbubble and third party audit firms will make agreed upon visits to make sure FLA Code Standards are being met and sustainable management, reporting, and tracking systems have been established. Participants in the marketplace must commit to continually making improvements where Code Standards aren’t met and assure ongoing compliance in a reasonable and timely manner.

California Transparency in
Supply Chains Act
We work hard to make sure the products sold on the Redbubble marketplace are produced ethically by our printing partners. In order to do so, we support the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act. This law requires members of the supply chain to certify compliance, agree to audits, and undergo Social Responsibility training while remaining 100% accountable for their actions.
