Responsibility
Responsibility
As a company in the clothing industry, we are aware of our responsibility for people and the environment. This applies not only to our German headquarters, but also our supply chain in Asia. Making our business activities more sustainable and reducing the negative effects of clothing production is a strategic goal for us and is an integral part of our corporate identity. Based on this responsibility, we have defined requirements in our Statement of Principles on Sustainability.
To implement our requirements, CSR employees work at each company location. These employees regularly review production conditions and work together with our producers and customers towards sustainable improvements.
Not all problems can be solved alone. Which is why we are also involved in initiatives in which various stakeholders work collaboratively on improvements.
