Certified - Lyfer Manufacturing Standard

The Lyfer Manufacturing Standard is our way of showing you that we are committed to the integrity, responsibility, and quality of our products. 

Our ethically manufactured birding gear and branded apparel supports both quality craftsmanship and conservation. We only partner with manufacturers who meet strict social, environmental, and humanitarian standards. We ensure that every collaboration reflects our values as a responsible business.

For those who aren’t certified, such as independent artisans, we validate their ethics, practices, and their craft to ensure they meet our standards and values. We value the brilliance of artisans and support small businesses wherever possible.

By supporting small artisans and local communities, we also want to contribute to the long-term sustainability of traditional craftsmanship. We hope that this direct support promotes fair wages too. Empowering these makers who care deeply about their work and our planet.

"Lyfer exists to inspire change, partnering only with manufacturers who honour humanity and safeguard the Earth" James, Lyfer Founder

From day one, building a design-led birding brand meant ethically manufactured birding gear was a must. Obvious right!? But we also promised ourselves that the search to find the right partners would had no borders.

Partnerships With No Borders

No matter where our manufacturers are, we commit our time, effort, and resources to every partnership. Each one must reflect who we are, too. Our values of:

• quality
• sustainability
• integrity

We’re proud to work with global manufacturers who share our dedication to ethical practices and positive change. Because the choices we make today shape a better future for birds, people, and the planet. Check out our full range here.

Above all, we never compromise on quality. The Lyfer Standard is more than a badge, it’s a promise to make the right decisions for our planet while delivering products designed to stand the test of time.  Our customers can trust that each piece of birdwatching gear, each accessory, is made with the utmost care and attention to detail, ensuring both durability and responsibility.
