At Lindex, sustainability is part of our everyday work and we are committed to keeping our promise – to make a difference for future generations. Our sustainability work extends across several levels – from our highest purpose as a company, to meeting the expectations of our stakeholders and staying up to date with legislation.
Iniciativat tona
We can achieve the most when we work together and, in order to keep our promise – making a difference for future generations – we must collaborate with our suppliers, industry peers and our partners.
Suppliers, factories and working conditions
We do not own any factories; instead we work with external partners. In recent years, we have greatly consolidated our supply chain and today we work with carefully selected partners. All partners must pay a wage that people can live on. Ensuring that our entire value chain operates within the living wage is an important part of our sustainability promise.
Materialet tona
We know that our choice of materials has an impact on both people and the environment. All materials have their pros and cons, which is why we are committed to always evaluating and finding the best alternatives that have less negative impact.
Better jeans
The production of jeans can be highly polluting and is one of the most intensive processes in textiles, owing to the intensive washing involved. Put simply, conventional jeans production is not great for the environment or for the people who work in production. We are on a journey towards producing jeans with as little negative impact on the environment as possible, bearing in mind the longevity of the garments and the fashion we create. We are increasing the content of recycled materials and have also advanced the washing process by using resource-efficient and cleaner processes.
GOTS
A GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified garment is made from organic cotton. GOTS certifies all the steps after cotton production and includes social and environmental requirements for all parts of production, such as spinning the yarn, weaving the fabric, treatments, dyeing and printing. The entire textile process is followed closely and rigorously, all to provide a reliable product guarantee for you as a customer.
Chemicals and water
Chemicals and water are used during the production of our products. It is equally important to us to use both chemicals and water less, as well as to use water properly. Using water in the right way is linked to the choice of chemicals, as well as the equipment and processes used to purify the water before it is released. It is about ensuring that production does not lead to the release of harmful substances into nature, polluting water sources and causing irreversible damage to the environment.
Circular fashion
As a fashion company, we must explore new circular ways of working and enable more sustainable consumption. Because even if consumption is ultimately in the hands of the consumer, we must create the conditions that make it possible for fashion to be more circular and conscious choices easier. For example, wearing a garment for a long time ultimately depends on the consumer, but it is up to us to offer products with an excellent fit and quality.
