Our materials
Choosing materials with a reduced environmental impact is a crucial step towards more responsible fashion.
Among our cotton pieces, 15% are made from organic or recycled cotton
We use 39% recycled polyamide, which requires less energy consumption.
53% of our linen is certified by independent trusted labels such as European Flax®.
In our knitwear, 100% of our cashmere is recycled.
A WeCare product contains at least
50%
fibers that are more responsible or sourced from technology that reduces its environmental impact.
Our involvement throughout the process
1 - THE CHOICE
During the development of the collection, for more responsible products, the style and purchasing teams come together to select certified materials and associated labels described in the WeCare guidelines, which are developed by the CSR and responsible sourcing team.
2 - SOURCING
During the launch phase, the purchasing and sourcing teams handle booking and negotiations for the materials. They ensure that the manufacturing facility is capable of producing a garment certified according to the chosen standard.
3 - CERTIFICATION
Finally, when the product is finished and ready to be shipped to stores, the purchasing department requests proof from the supplier that the product complies with the standards and includes the more responsible materials selected by the style and purchasing teams.
4 - WECARE
Only once all these steps are completed can the product be approved as "WeCare," meaning it is more responsible.
RESPONSIBLE SOURCING GUIDELINE
In 2020, we revised all our legal documents to highlight our CSR criteria in the supply chain. This includes the CSR sourcing policy, code of ethics, supplier contracts, general purchasing conditions, and other specifications.
WORKING CONDITIONS
We pay close attention to the working conditions in the factories with which we have long-standing partnerships.
As of April 17, 2024, 94% of these factories hold a social compliance certificate from certifications such as BSCI, SMETA, SA8000, or ICS. These certifications adhere to international social standards, including fair wages, health and safety, prohibition of child labor, and the right to unionize. Our local teams periodically inspect our partner factories.
