We care about how we impact the environment.
We care about people; we care about women, we care about young people.
We care, because we want to leave the right kind of legacy for future generations.
All our activities in manufacturing and management have sustainability in mind, constantly setting ourselves new goals. We want to become more and more in harmony with nature and good practices when using resources.
Using the UN Sustainable Development Goals list of 17 main subjects as a yardstick, we have set up an internal team that prods, probes and pushes the whole company to do better. We’ve based our studies on GRI Standards, and our internal sustainability team is working on developing all environmental, social and economic aspects of our company in accordance with these standards.
Our resources are finite, so we owe it to future generations to change how we use them.
We make sure we choose materials, stains, and dyes that have lower level VOC emissions to ensure that products are not harmful to the atmosphere;
70% of our standard fabric options are manufactured in an environmentally conscious manner with Oeko-Tex, Greenguard and/or EU Eco Label certificates.
60% of our cardboard packaging is made from recycled materials.
In line with our aim of becoming a greenbuilding by 2030, we are linking all the improvements to our aim of lessening our negative impact on the environment and society at large.
When we ship products by truck to Europe and the UK, we minimize our carbon footprint and environmental impact by using carbon offset certified shipping. This allows us to reduce our carbon emissions and also support our sustainability efforts externally when delivering products to our customers.
We are striving to ensure that all our relations, whether with our employees, our suppliers, our project partners or the local community, are in line with UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We also urge others to follow in line with this approach.
We have obtained and are maintaining the certifications below:
ISO 9001 (Quality Control)
ISO 14001 (Environment Management)
ISO 26000 (Social Responsibilities)
ISO 37001 (Anti-bribery)
ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety)
ISO 50001 (Energy Management)

We are consistently making more improvements to become more streamline and making the factories more productive with regards to human and energy resources, optimising the organisational flow of activities and also the insulation of the buildings.
