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

Publication of audit results

Thanks to an anonymous alert and reporting system, workers can anonymously report problems in the factories.

Sewing

Dyeing/printing

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.

Spinning

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

Dyeing is the process of imparting color to fabric by immersing it in a dye bath, allowing the fabric to absorb the dye and achieve the desired hue.Printing is the technique used to apply colors or patterns onto the fabric's  surface using various methods such as screen printing or digital printing, resulting in decorative designs or motifs that enhance the visual appeal of the fabric.

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)

Consideration of workers' living conditions

Halogenated or brominated flame retardants are chemicals used in the textile industry to prevent the formation of flames when garments come into contact with heat. Studies have shown that halogenated flame retardants affect the endocrine system and can induce changes in neurodevelopment and lipid metabolism.

Un pourcentage inconnu des vêtements sont labellisés EU Ecolabel.
    La label EU Ecolabel garantit que les vêtements labellisés ne contiennent pas de retardateurs de flamme halogénés.

Chromium is a chemical used in the textile industry for tanning leather and dyeing wool and silk. Chromium VI can form as a result of the use of chromium III by oxidation. Unlike other chromium derivatives, studies have shown carcinogenic effects of chromium VI on the respiratory tract when inhaled.

La marque interdit l'utilisation du chrome VI dans sa chaîne de production.

Manufacturing

Deying/printing

Raw materials

Frequent new releases of fashion collections promote over-consumption and over-production. This leads to more textile waste each year.

Frequency of collections

La marque distribue entre 2 et 6 collections par an.

Unsold goods are a source of textile waste. Each year, between 10,000 and 20,000 tons of textile products are destroyed in France (the equivalent of one to two Eiffel Towers). Since January, 1st 2022, the french anti-waste bill obliges the textile companies to limit the disposal of textile products as much as possible.

La marque adopte une stratégie afin de minimiser ses stocks de vêtements invendus.

%% des vêtements invendus sont recyclés ou donnés à des associations.

Production off-cuts result from cutting different pattern pieces from fabric, which generates a large amount of textile waste. Indeed, 20 to 30% of fabric is lost during the cutting process. To limit the quantity of cutting waste, it is possible to optimize cutting techniques or to repurpose production off-cuts.

La marque met en place une politique visant à réduire ses chutes de production.

Use of recycled materials reduces waste and disposal of textile off-cuts. Recycled materials come from different sources of waste (fabric scraps, used garments, plastic bottles, residual fibers...) and enable recovery of discarded or unused materials.

%% des vêtements de la marque sont produits à partir de matières recyclées.

During the manufacturing process, fabric is cut and assembled into the final garment, a process that uses little water.

La marque travaille avec des fournisseurs de confection dont une partie ont une démarche responsable au niveau de leur consommation d'eau.

During the dyeing/printing process, the fabric is treated chemically or mechanically to give it its characteristics: color, motifs, etc. This process consumes a lot of water; it is responsible for 27% of freshwater consumption in the textile industry. A large majority of dyeing/printing processes require the use of freshwater.

During the weaving or knitting process, the yarn is processed into fabric, which requires little water.

La marque travaille avec des fournisseurs de tissage-tricotage dont une partie ont une démarche responsable au niveau de leur consommation d'eau.

During the spinning process, the raw material is transformed into yarn, a process that consumes a lot of water. It is responsible for 21% of freshwater consumption in the textile industry. Some spinning processes are called "wet," meaning that they require the use of large quantities of water.

La marque travaille avec des fournisseurs de filature dont une partie ont une démarche responsable au niveau de leur consommation d'eau.

The production of raw materials consumes a lot of water. It is responsible for 31% of freshwater consumption in the textile industry, in particular in the cultivation of cotton, which is very water-intensive.

La marque travaille avec des fournisseurs de matières premières dont une partie ont une démarche responsable au niveau de leur consommation d'eau.

The technique of manual or mechanical sandblasting is very water-intensive. During the sandblasting process, sand is projected at high pressure using forced air guns.

Un pourcentage inconnu des vêtements sont labellisés EU Ecolabel.
Le label EU Ecolabel garantit que la technique du sablage manuel ou mécanique est interdite sur les vêtements labellisés.

With each wash, synthetic materials release microparticles of plastic that end up in the ocean. This represents 500,000 tons of microparticles released into the oceans each year, the equivalent of 50 billion plastic bottles.

Un pourcentage inconnu des vêtements de la marque sont produits uniquement à partir de matières naturelles.

Natural materials, especially cotton, require a lot of fertilizers and pesticides. When used in excess, these chemicals leach into the water table and waterways, causing algae blooms and harming other aquatic life. Organic agriculture is a production method employing cultivation and breeding practices that respect the balance of natural habitats. It prohibits use of synthetic chemicals and GMOs and limits the use of agricultural inputs.

%% des vêtements de la marque sont produits à partir de matières issues de l'agriculture biologique.

During manufacturing, the fabric is cut and assembled to create the final garment, a process that causes little water pollution.

La marque travaille avec des fournisseurs de confection dont une partie ont une démarche responsable visant à réduire la pollution de l'eau générée par leur activité.

During the dyeing/printing process, the fabric is treated chemically or mechanically to give it its characteristics: color, motifs, etc. This stage involves many processes and a large quantity of chemicals. These substances are found in factory wastewater. The substances used in the previous stages are also found in the wastewater and must be eliminated before any treatment.

La marque travaille avec des fournisseurs d'ennoblissement dont une partie ont une démarche responsable visant à réduire la pollution de l'eau générée par leur activité.

During this process, the yarn is transformed into fabric, and yarns are often coated with chemicals to facilitate the transition from yarn to fabric. These chemicals can then end up in the wastewater of dyeing/printing plants.

La marque travaille avec des fournisseurs de tissage-tricotage dont une partie ont une démarche responsable visant à réduire la pollution de l'eau générée par leur activité.

During the spinning process, the raw material is transformed into yarn. Use of mineral oils is necessary for winding the yarn onto spools. These oils can contain traces of products that are very harmful to health and the environment. Residues of these oils can end up in the wastewater of dyeing/printing plants.

La marque travaille avec des fournisseurs de filature dont une partie ont une démarche responsable visant à réduire la pollution de l'eau générée par leur activité.

The manufacturing processes of synthetic and artificial materials require a large amount of chemical solvents. The cultivation of natural fibers, especially cotton, also requires use of large quantities of fertilizers and pesticides, all of which contribute to the pollution of groundwater and waterways.

Chromium is a toxic heavy metal that can be released into wastewater after the tanning process. Tanning is an operation that transforms the dermis of the animal's skin into a rot-proof substance.

La marque n'interdit pas le tannage au chrome. Cependant, un pourcentage inconnu de ses produits ne sont pas tannés au chrome.

Every year the textile industry emits 1.2 billion tons of greenhouse gases, which is about 2% of global emissions. It is therefore important for brands to take action to reduce their emissions.

CO2 emissions

La marque a mis en place une politique visant à réduire ses émissions carbone.

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.

La marque n'interdit pas le transport aérien pour transporter ses produits.

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.

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

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.

Un pourcentage inconnu des vêtements de la marque est produit à partir de matières naturelles,  le reste est produit à partir de matières synthétiques.

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.

A garment guarantee proves that a brand has confidence in the quality of its products. This is a key factor in increasing the life span of products and thus reducing textile waste.

La marque propose un service de garantie sur la totalité de ses produits.

Repairing garments enables consumers to wear them longer and thus limits production of textile waste.

La marque ne propose pas de service de réparation.

The production of raw materials presents risks of deforestation. Agriculture and animal breeding require large areas of land. This is why it is important for brands to be aware of where materials are sourced and to implement measures to avoid these risks.

Study of deforestation risk

La marque a réalisé une étude des risques de déforestation liés à l'approvisionnement de ses matières premières.

The production of raw materials presents risks of depletion of water reserves. Agriculture and animal breeding require large quantities of water. This is why it is important for brands to be aware of where materials are sourced and to implement measures to avoid these risks.
