As a company with strong roots, we examine the impact of our business activities throughout the value chain. That’s why we adopt an approach that takes the different issues relating to products, supply chains and business processes into consideration. In doing so, we focus in particular on:
The selection of materials as well as the development of our products are important components of our approach. This includes, for example, the use of selected materials and the further development of product concepts and manufacturing processes.
We are working continuously on making information on products, materials and selected programmes accessible. At the same time, we are also continuously developing existing concepts and processes.
Social responsibility is important to us. We are committed to clear social standards for our suppliers and regularly check that they are complied with. Together with the Fair Wear Foundation and the Dialogue and Impact for Sustainable Textiles, we are strengthening independent channels for workers in our supply chains to raise concerns.
