By knowing its suppliers, the brand is able to control their practices and thus takes its responsibilities towards them.

Knowledge of suppliers

By working directly with its suppliers, i.e. without intermediaries, the brand has a transparent view of the working conditions in these factories.

Direct working relationships with suppliers

By committing to a minimum two-year contract with its suppliers, the brand gives them financial visibility and the ability to project themselves.

Long-term contracts with suppliers

Publication of list of suppliers

At all stages of the production chain, the working conditions are often very difficult for the workers. This is why it is important to control factories in order to verify their working conditions: forced labor, minimum age, measures against discrimination, workers’ safety. These controls, also called audits, can be carried out by external organizations or firms. They are thus a good guarantee that the minimum rights of workers are respected.

Audits of suppliers on labor-related criteria

Spinning

The raw material production stage is the stage during which the fibers are produced, either by growing plants: natural plant fibers and artificial fibres, or by breeding: natural animal fibres, or by chemical processes: synthetics.

Raw material

The spinning stage is the stage during which the raw material is transformed into yarn.

The weaving-knitting stage is the stage during which the yarn is transformed into fabric. There are two types of fabrics: - the fabric which consists in assembling threads in a regular way, arranged in two series, by crossing them perpendicularly (ex: jeans) - the knitting which consists in making loops with the thread (ex: sweater)

The finishing step is the step during which the yarns are dyed. This step also allows to "print" patterns on the fabric.

The sewing stage is the stage during which the fabric is cut and then assembled to give birth to the final garment.

This avoids encouraging and supporting the breeding and slaughter of many animals.

The brand does not use animal materials that cause the slaughter of animals.

Wool is made from the hair of animals like sheep, goats, etc. Animal breeding presents a risk of abuse and suffering for the animals.

The brand recovers sheep's wool already produced by other actors or uses recycled sheep's wool to make new garments.

The fur industry is responsible for the death of millions of animals each year in order to profit from the sale of their pelts. The animals used for their furs are: minks, chinchillas, foxes, rabbits, and in some countries, cats and dogs.

Absence of fur

The exotic leather industry is responsible for the death of millions of animals each year in order to profit from the sale of their skins. We consider “exotic” all leathers that cannot be by-products of food (shark, snake, lizard, crocodile).

The brand does not publish the results of toxicity audits conducted at its suppliers.

%% of garments are labeled Global Organic Textile Standard - GOTS.
     The Global Organic Textile Standard - GOTS label guarantees that labeled garments do not contain chromium VI.

Phthalates are chemical substances used in the textile industry to produced a relief effect. Studies have shown that the toxicity of phthalates is of great concern because they can interfere with the development of the testicles at an early age. The phthalates DEHP and DBP are classified as “toxic for reproduction” in Europe.

The brand prohibits the use of phthalates in its production line.

Perfluorinated compounds are used to make a textile stain- or water-repellent. Studies have shown that they affect the liver and act as endocrine disruptors, altering growth levels and sex hormones.

The brand prohibits the use of perfluorinated compounds in its production line.

Alkylphenols are chemicals used in the textile industry for cleaning and dyeing. Studies have shown the toxicological potential of alkylphenols mainly as endocrine disruptors in animals as well as humans.

Chrome tanning uses many substances that are very harmful to workers. Tanning is an operation that transforms the dermis of the animal's skin into a rot-proof substance.

Prohibition of chrome tanning

The brand does not use leather. Consequently, it does not use chrome tanning.

During the sandblasting process, sand is blasted at high pressure with forced-air guns. Workers who perform this process are exposed to silica dust that enters their bodies through their ears, noses and mouths. They can develop a disease called silicosis (an incurable lung disease) that can develop into cancer.

The brand does not use denim. Consequently, it does not use the technique of manual or mechanical sandblasting.

The brand guarantees that workers in its sewing factories are paid the legal minimum wage.

Accessories

Non-removable accessories (jeans buttons, rivets, eyelets...) prevent recycling of a product at the end of its life. By reducing their use, brands facilitate recycling of their products and limit the amount of textile waste.

Reduction of accessories

The brand has reduced its use of accessories on at least one product family.

As part of a sustainable approach to consumption, the second-hand market promotes the circular economy and reduces textile waste.

Upcycling consists of repurposing used garments and fabrics to transform them into new pieces. This reduces the production of virgin materials and thus limits use of the Earth's fossil resources like petroleum oil.

%% of the brand's garments are produced from upcycled materials.

The use of recycled materials reduces the production of virgin materials. Recycled materials come from different sources of waste such as fabric scraps, used clothing, plastic bottles, residual fibers, etc. These materials, already produced and repurposed, limit use of the Earth's fossil resources like petroleum oil.

%% of the brand's garments are produced from recycled materials.

70% of fibers produced in the world are synthetic, so derived from petroleum oil, a limited fossil resource. By opting for natural materials, the brand limits use of this resource.

%% of the brand's garments are produced from natural materials; the rest is produced from synthetic materials.

During the sewing process, fabric is cut and assembled to create the final garment, which requires little energy compared to the other stages.

%% of garments are labeled Global Organic Textile Standard - GOTS.
     The Global Organic Textile Standard - GOTS label guarantees that labeled garments are produced by suppliers who are committed to reducing their energy consumption.

During the finishing process, fabric is treated chemically or mechanically to give it its characteristics: color, motif, etc. This process requires significant electricity and especially heat. Most of the energy required is produced by non-renewable sources (coal, gas...).

The production of raw materials usually requires a large amount of energy and heat, especially for synthetic fibers.

Renewable energies are inexhaustible energies. They contribute to the fight against the greenhouse effect and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.

%% of renewable energy is used by the brand to power its offices, warehouses and stores.

Upcycling consists of repurposing used garments and fabrics to transform them into new pieces, without the production of new material or the stages of spinning, weaving, knitting and finishing that make up the production process. The carbon impact is therefore lower than that of virgin and recycled materials.

The carbon impact of recycled materials is lower than that of virgin materials. Recycled materials come from different sources of waste (fabric scraps, used clothing, plastic bottles, residual fibers...) and therefore limit the production of virgin materials with a high carbon impact. This high carbon impact is the result of agricultural and breeding methods that use large surfaces of land and significant quantities of water, as well as massive use of chemical products and/or petroleum oil for the production of artificial and synthetic fibers.

Air transport is the most polluting mode of transport in terms of CO2 emissions per weight transported. According to the French Ministry of the Environment, a cargo ship emits between 10 and 32.5g of CO2/ton/kilometer vs. 2200g for an airplane.

The brand prohibits air transportation of its products.
