Increasing the share of sustainable materials in our products is a top priority. We are continuously working on evolving our material sourcing criteria and guidelines beyond regulatory compliance to reflect industry best practices, latest scientific findings and innovative technologies. We are certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), a proud member of Better Cotton and a licensee of GoodWeave, enabling us to procure sustainable cotton. For sustainable wood we partner with FSC® and PEFC® to source sustainable wood from certified manufacturers. Our wool supply chain is certified to the Responsible Wool Standard. These initiatives enabled us to significantly expand our WE CARE offering.
Going forward we will continue to explore credible certifications and partnerships that will enable us to continue to expand our WE CARE product offering.

Re-thinking product packaging
Protecting our products during shipping and ensuring a safe delivery is of great importance to us. We are also shifting towards more sustainable options and establishing robust systems for measuring the sustainability qualities of our packaging.
Key requirements in this respect are set out in our Sustainable Packaging Guidelines which go beyond compliance and are meant to apply uniformly across our business. The aim of the guidelines is to ensure that our packaging is minimal, recyclable and made of materials with a low environmental footprint.
Over the next few years, we will be closely collaborating with existing and new suppliers as we look to address all packaging challenges in a systematic way, reducing our overall environmental footprint and enhancing customer experience.
