Materials
Our choice of materials has an impact on both people and the environment. All materials have their own challenges, and we are dedicated to always evaluating and finding the most relevant alternatives to reduce our impact.
The material choices we make affect a product's quality and function, as well as how it looks, feels and fits. Depending on how materials are sourced and produced, they can have different impacts on people and the environment.
Reducing our impact
Since every type of material has its own challenges, there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to making material choices. Instead, we continuously evaluate and select materials based on the impacts and risks associated with their sourcing and production.
We actively follow the latest developments and innovations to identify the best available options and collaborate with organisations such as Textile Exchange for guidance and evaluation. Our focus is on preferred and certified fibres. These are materials that are recycled, organic, in transition to organic production, or covered by recognised third-party certification or licensing schemes.
