What is your ethical and sustainability position and commitments?

•   Local Economy/ Microcosm: Focus on family run suppliers and manufacturers who understand the impact of their businesses on the local economy. We work with fabric mills and printers who recycle the water used to dye fabrics, purchase trims/ raw materials from local suppliers and who have independent and international compliance certification. We also have many suppliers who offer employees options of self-improvement through classes, exercise, etc.
•   Strict Compliance: A representative from Heidi Klein has visited all suppliers we have placed production with to ensure health and safety is a priority. We also require international certification to prove fair and equal rights are given to all employees.
•   Vertical Operations: We have been focusing on more vertical operations whereas the fibers/ yarns are also sourced from the surrounding area and not shipped in from a different continent; - Environmental Impact: We focus on suppliers and manufacturers who are aware of their impact to the environment and climate. Specific points we look at are energy use, CO2 emission and Carbon footprint.
•   Environmental certification: We do our own due diligence to ensure that our fabrics adhere to REACH certification.
•   As a company, we are looking at more economic and environmentally friendly ways of shipping product and components to avoid unnecessary impact to the environment.
•   We work to ensure there is as little waste as possible between fabric, components and production.
•   One of our partners in Sri Lanka has recently been awarded a Presidential Award (very high national honor) for their efforts towards environmental conservation and protection while also focusing on the long run clean and green production. They are working towards reducing plastic in the work place, monitor their energy and CO2 emissions.
•   Elsewhere in Spain and Portugal, our printing mills and factories are focused on using recycled water and reducing energy emission (switching to solar power as much as possible).
