Sustainability goals
In our sustainability efforts we are effective, when we focus on things that matter: things, where our contribution is felt the most and with the best effect.
We care about the future - for us, sustainability means concrete action
Sustainability report
The purpose of our sustainability reporting is to increase the knowledge of our clients, partners and other stakeholders about our sustainability efforts and to inform them about our advances and new development areas in the reporting year. We published our first report in 2016.
Sustainability partners
Partnerships are an important part of our sustainability effort. We believe that responsible business operations require our close cooperation with the key organizations of our field as well as with domestic and international experts.
Our operating principles
Our Code of Conduct is based on the operating principles of the UN Global Compact initiative. The Code of Conduct serves as the basis for the operations of our group in all business fields and defines the operating methods to which our personnel are committed.
Carbon footprint
Our goal is to become carbon neutral in our operations by 2025. By our operations we mean our operations in Finland and our production in Estonia.
Ensuring a long life-cycle for a product is
The best way to save the environment
Our products spring from years of professionalism, careful design and high-quality and wear-resistant materials developed specifically for workwear that, all combined, contribute to the longest possible life cycle of the workwear. Our products are manufactured with the environment in mind - we optimize the use of resources and utilize waste material. Easy-to-repair clothing and proper maintenance also extend the lifetime of workwear. This is the reason, why we develop services that keep our workwear in efficient use. By doubling the lifetime of a garment, we reduce climate emissions by 40%.
Recycling of old workwear
Kierre® service
Kierre® service is an innovative solution, whereby workwear that is at the end of its textile life cycle can be recycled into the raw material of durable and recyclable composite products.
Recycling clothes into a textile product
The textile from recycled and excess products can be utilized in new products without further processing. A jacket can be turned into a bag, for example, and a cardigan into a beanie
