Today, because of this, the fields behind our factory are lush with fertile farmland. Social welfare, too, is a top priority. We encourage and support the local school systems within the weaving region. We have approximately 1,100 employees and work with some 16,000 independent artisans engaged in the weaving and processing of our carpets in India. Given these numbers when coupled with current data on family demographics, we estimate that OBEETEE is responsible for the well being of over 100,000 men, women and children throughout an area encompassing some 60,000 square miles.

Not only does OBEETEE provide the highest compensation and most favorable working conditions to our artisans, we also use the safest dyes and chemicals, thereby ensuring the continued good health for these workers – the finest master craftsmen within our industry. We are the first carpet company in the hand made rug industry worldwide to have secured the Social Accountability System certification (SA 8000) in the year 2004. The company has been re-certified in the year 2007.
