[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Our company is firmly committed to sustainable development, with an integrated approach that takes into account the entire life cycle of our products.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner el_class=”fadeInLeft” offset=”vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-6″][vc_single_image image=”133″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”fadeInRight” offset=”vc_col-lg-5 vc_col-md-6″][vc_column_text el_class=”fs-1″]We are aware of the environmental impact of the textile sector and are working hard to reduce this impact through our responsible purchasing objectives.<\/p>\n

Our commitment to sustainable development is reflected in our responsible purchasing choices, selecting environmentally friendly materials such as organic cotton or algae-based materials. We select our suppliers according to sustainable development criteria so that our raw materials are Oekotex Standard 100 certified. Our main suppliers take a responsible approach to their activities and are certified: European Eco Label + ISO 9001 + ISO 14001 + Bluesign<\/p>\n

We seek to reduce our carbon footprint by favouring the purchase of recycled and recyclable materials for our products. We are proud of our Made in France production workshop, which allows us to guarantee fair working conditions and minimise CO2 emissions related to transport.<\/p>\n

We have opted for transparency about our products by displaying the environmental impact of our main products using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a method that measures the potential environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle.
We are also mindful of the end of life of our products, promoting the recycling and reuse of end-of-life workwear in order to minimise textile waste.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” el_class=”mb-3 mb-md-5″][vc_column_inner el_class=”fadeInLeft order-2 order-lg-0″ offset=”vc_col-lg-5 vc_col-md-6″][vc_single_image image=”228″ img_size=”120×120″ alignment=”center” el_class=”mb-4″][vc_column_text el_class=”fs-1″]We fully adhere to the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact, which are based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organisation’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the United Nations Convention against Corruption.<\/p>\n

With regard to human rights, we are committed to promoting and respecting the protection of international human rights law and to ensuring that we are not complicit in violations of these rights.
In terms of international labour standards, we respect freedom of association and recognise the right to collective bargaining. We contribute to the elimination of all forms of forced or compulsory labour, the effective abolition of child labour and the elimination of all discrimination in employment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”fadeInRight” offset=”vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-6″][vc_single_image image=”135″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” el_class=”mb-3 mb-md-5″][vc_column_inner el_class=”fadeInLeft” offset=”vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-6″][vc_single_image image=”137″ img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”230″ img_size=”250×58″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”fadeInRight” offset=”vc_col-lg-5 vc_col-md-6″][vc_column_text el_class=”fs-1″]With regard to the environment, we apply the precautionary approach to environmental issues, take initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility, and encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies.
Finally, we take action against corruption in all its forms.<\/p>\n

We also adhere to the Fibre Citoyenne 26000 programme run by the NGO Yamana, which aims to support companies in the textile and clothing sector in their transition to sustainable development by helping them to respond to the social, environmental and economic challenges associated with their activity.<\/p>\n

Having been FAIRTRADE\/MAX HAVELAAR\u00ae certified for many years, we are committed to working alongside the NGO Max Havelaar France to promote fairer trade, which guarantees a fairer price for cotton producers and improves their working conditions. We also support the improvement of living conditions in their communities through collective projects and by ensuring respect for the environment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner disable_element=”yes” el_class=”fadeInBottom”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
