Learn about our approach to responsible fashion
Our responsibility
As a family company, responsible business is part of our DNA - our actions follow a long-term strategy characterised by fairness and sustainability. Because responsibility towards our employees, consumers, producers, partners, service providers and society as a whole is essential for us as a global fashion company.
Even more sustainable fabrics
Quality fashion includes unique shapes and designs plus transparency and responsibility. We are always adding more products with sustainable fabrics. We use well known credible textile labels that provide transparency. The label provides the criteria on how the design is produced.
Our styles are created with certified organically grown materials.
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)
The goal is to set strict requirements for environmental and social conditions. In addition to using organically produced raw materials. Designs with GOTS label contain at least 70% organic materials. Exact details can be found on the label.

OCS (Organic Content Standard)
The Organic Content Standard (OCS) is an international, voluntary standard that sets requirements for certified organically produced raw materials and supply chain compliance. The goal of the OCS is to increase organic agricultural production.
The OCS 100 logo is used for products that contain 95% or more organic material. OCS Blended is used for products that contain at least 5% organic material. The exact percentage of certified organic materials can be found on the label.

Our production standards
We want social standards to be met in the production of our garments. Therefore, we are a member of the Amfori Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) and also require our suppliers to comply with Amfori BSCI standards and to be audited.
Amfori BSCI is an international association of over 2,400 retailers, importers and brands with the aim of strengthening working conditions and human rights in global supply chains. Independent Amfori BSCI social audits as well as a wide range of training courses offer the opportunity to ensure that standards are met in production facilities and to continuously improve.
