Eco-Conscious
Commitment to Sustainability
Sourcing decisions that protect the people making your garments and the water, air, and land around the factories that make them.
Sourcing with Purpose, Manufacturing with Care
Sustainability isn't a line item we add at the end of a sourcing decision — it's a filter every factory has to pass before we work with them. That means checking water treatment infrastructure, chemical handling records, and worker welfare standards before a single sample is cut.
We report exactly what we find, including where a factory falls short, so you can make sourcing decisions with the full picture rather than a marketing summary.
Eco-Friendly
Low-impact fibres and finishing across our factory network.
Water Conservation
Closed-loop washing and treated wastewater discharge.

01 / Initiatives
Our Sustainability Initiatives
The programs behind our sustainability commitments, factory by factory.
Traceable Fibers
Every fibre lot is logged from source to finished garment, so you can answer a customer's origin question with certainty.
Eco-Friendly Washing
Ozone, laser, and enzyme finishing techniques replace water- and chemical-heavy denim washing wherever possible.
Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP)
Partner factories treat wastewater on-site before discharge, verified through regular third-party testing.
Green-Certified Facilities
A growing share of our network operates from LEED-certified buildings designed for lower energy and water use.
Ethical Work Compliance
Fair wages, safe working hours, and freedom of association verified through independent Sedex and Better Work audits.
