CO₂

We aim to counteract climate change and reduce our CO2 emissions to protect the environment. We calculate emissions using Climate Partner’s CO₂ calculator, which is customised to our supply chain.

WHERE EXACTLY IS THE PROBLEM?

The cultivation and further processing of the natural fibre cotton we use takes place mainly in Asia. Textile production requires energy, which causes CO₂ emissions. The transport route from Asia to Europe is long and causes further CO₂ emissions. The aim is to continuously identify and implement potential savings. To this end, the (renewable) energy use of our suppliers is analysed and evaluated.

WHAT SOLUTION DO WE ALREADY OFFER TODAY?

We prefer to co-operate with vertically integrated manufacturing companies. In-house production, i.e. numerous production steps under one roof, goes hand in hand with short distances.

For our OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN/OEKO-TEX® STeP-certified products, compliance with prescribed emission limits to reduce the CO₂ footprint at the production sites is mandatory.

Our textiles are shipped by container; we avoid air freight. We also co-operate with Heppner, an environmentally conscious logistics partner.
