We strive to implement a sustainable and ethical approach throughout our complete supply chain. As a validation of our sustainability efforts, many of our products have obtained product certifications. Below, we explain the different certifications and recognised logos. PRODUCT CERTIFICATIONS & STANDARDS RECYCLED FABRIC Fabric made from recycled components reduces the use of virgin materials and is a step towards increased circularity. GRS - GLOBAL RECYCLED STANDARD Products certified to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) contain recycled material that has been verified at each stage of the supply chain, from the source to the final product. In addition, facilities from the source to final supplier have met social, environmental, and chemical requirements. SORONA® AURA Sorona® Aura fibre is an eco-efficient performance fibre. It is partially plant-based and can be recycled in any normal polyester recycling stream. Sorona® Aura is a top-of-the-line material, which offers lightweight, breathable, and warm features. The main consumer benefits are seen over the life of the garments, as Sorona-based fabrics maintain a high level of stretch, recovery, and colour fastness wash after wash. OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is one of the world’s best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. It stands for customer confidence and high product safety. Clothing manufactured under the principles of OEKO-TEX® meets requirements for pH value and the content of harmful substances, such as pesticides and heavy metals. ORGANIC COTTON Organic cotton is cotton grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilisers, and other toxic chemicals. By law, organic cotton plants cannot come from genetically engineered seeds, and strict regulations dictate how cotton must be grown to be certified organic. OCS - ORGANIC CONTENT STANDARD The Organic Content Standard (OCS) is an international, voluntary standard that provides chain of custody verification for materials originating from a farm certified to recognised national organic standards. The standard is used to verify organically grown raw materials from the farm to the final product. 336
