Sustainability

Starts with design

We believe that sustainability may by no means conflict with innovation, design, functionality and quality.

The average life of a product is 2.2 years. At CSE WORKS™ we only use industrial strength technologically advanced fabrics in every garment we manufacture. Our garments are made to provide years of services — generally a minimum of 3 years.

At CSE WORKS™ we partner with mills that have sustainability at the forefront of their operations. For example we use intelligent textile technologies, such as water and dirt repelling functions in most of our jackets which will improve the durability and wear. High-quality textiles have a longer service life and can remain in use for longer — helping to preserve the environment and saving resources. In manufacturing our products, we always focus on ecological compatibility.

Since 2001, Schoeller® Textile AG (our fabric supplier out of Switzerland) has been producing in accordance with the stipulations of the bluesign® system. The bluesign® system is the solution for the sustainable production of textiles. It excludes environmentally harmful substances from the manufacturing process from the very beginning, lays down guidelines and monitors their observance for environmentally friendly and reliable production. As a result, this ensures that the final textile product meets the most stringent consumer standards worldwide. On the other hand, consumers can rest assured that they are buying a sustainably manufactured product.

Schoeller® not only produces in accordance with the guidelines of the bluesign® system but, together with other companies, contributed to its founding. Schoeller® was the first textile company in the world to receive certification and, in 2008, was the first system partner to receive the bluesign® Award.
