Sustainable and transparent
Honest sustainability
Sustainability is not just words and promises, but real actions here and now. We don't explain unnecessarily, but we openly tell you where and how our long-lasting clothes are made, and how we work for a more sustainable future. While others present what should be done, we tell you what we have already done.
We are building the most sustainable clothing brand in the Nordics, whose word you can trust.
Without greenwashing
Two years in a row, we received the best scores for Ethical trade Finland aka Eetti’s responsibility survey, which reviewed the climate, environmental and human rights work and transparency of 35 Finnish clothing brands. However, no one is perfect, and therefore we also have things to develop and improve. The world is changing and so are we.

We require that all our partners commit to our ethical guidelines. We check the operating models according to the guidelines once a year.

Ecologically ethical
Our clothes are made from high-quality, eco-certified European materials in ethical local production in low-risk countries in Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. All factories operate according to EU waste and recycling regulations.
The country of manufacture is stated in the care instructions of each product from the beginning. We also openly state on each product page the factories where the fabric is woven and the product is sewn. We have nothing to hide.

Packing and shipping
The flagship store uses fully recyclable FSC-certified paper bags (The Forest Stewardship Council). The certificate guarantees more environmentally friendly and ethical forest management. For online store shipments, we use completely recycled plastic bags made of recycled plastic material. Both paper bags and shipping bags are manufactured in the EU.
We reuse or recycle all our cardboard packaging. Only t-shirts are packed individually in recycled plastic bags. This is how we minimize the use of packaging materials and plastic.
Greener online shopping deliveries
We offer our customers the most environmentally friendly online shopping shipping options. We use the carbon-neutral Posti Green and DHL GoGreen delivery methods. You can also come and pick up your order directly from the flagship store.
Energy and recycling
In our store and office, we use completely renewable Finnish Kalastaja electricity, which is made with EKOenergy-certified wind power and/or bioenergy.
We recycle all paper, cardboard, plastic and bio waste according to Finnish waste regulations. We minimize the generation of cutting waste by making the most consumption-efficient fabric cutting plans possible at each factory. We use any cutting waste by making them into accessories, such as ties, bows and caps. The remaining waste is disposed of according to EU waste regulations.

Carbon footprint calculation
We have been calculating our carbon footprint since 2018. We use the calculation tool of Clonet, a Finnish specialist in carbon footprint calculation. The calculations include Scope1, Scope2 and most of the Scope3.
We have managed to reduce our carbon footprint every year. Even last year, our relative carbon footprint decreased, although with the growth of the company, the total amount of production also increased by 29%.
