Our Commitment to Sustainable Practices 2026
As a Swiss interior textiles company with a regional supply chain concentrated within a 500-kilometre radius of Switzerland, sustainability is integral to how we operate. We are committed to environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and transparent practices that align with global best practices and evolving European Union regulatory frameworks for sustainable textiles.
Energy & Carbon Responsibility
We actively reduce our carbon footprint by prioritizing local production and partnering with suppliers that support energy-efficient operations and the use of renewable energy. By minimizing transport distances and collaborating with partners who share our climate commitments, we contribute to the European Green Deal’s objective of a climate-neutral economy.
Responsible Water Use
Textile production is water-intensive, and we recognize our responsibility to manage this resource carefully. We collaborate with manufacturers who implement best practices in water efficiency, responsible chemical management, and wastewater treatment.
Waste Reduction & Circular Economy
We apply circular economy principles to reduce waste at every stage, from design and production planning to manufacturing and end-of-life. This includes minimizing offcuts, reducing surplus materials, and supporting durability, repairability, and recyclability.
Responsible Sourcing & Product Standards
We are committed to responsible sourcing, with a focus on quality, durability, and traceability. Our practices are guided by internationally recognized frameworks and aligned, where relevant, with EU and global sustainability standards.
Ethical Labour Practices
We uphold fair and safe working conditions throughout our regional supply chain, reflecting international labour and human rights standards. We expect our partners to implement robust social compliance systems and maintain transparency across the value chain.
Transparency & Reporting
In line with evolving European sustainability reporting frameworks, we are committed to transparent disclosure of our environmental and social impacts. We proactively embrace voluntary reporting and continuous improvement.
