We promote safe and fair working conditions by empowering workers and creating solid relationships with our partners. A main priority is the health and wellbeing of everyone who makes our products - not just our own employees. We dedicate a lot of effort and resources with the goal to make garment production more fair and equal worldwide.
We always look for the best production location, considering technical expertise and knowhow. Many factories with cutting and sewing skills are located in Asia, and we select the partners that follow strict social requirements and collaborate with them to reach even higher standards of working conditions.

The Forever Chemicals – PFAS
Why are they used? The PFAS family includes hundreds of chemicals. They are used to make everyday products resistant to water and to ensure water repellency and permeability. Why are they “forever”? PFAS are persistent, they do not easily degrade in nature and can also travel through water and wind. Their use has been criticized because they are linked to negative effects on humans and wildlife.
