We bear responsibility
Why sustainability is important to usAt Image Wear, we believe in workwear that is literally something to be proud of. We want to be uncompromisingly good not only in terms of quality and design, but also when it comes to sustainability. That is why sustainable action is not a trend for us, but has always been an essential part of our business strategy. Especially as a textile company, we see sustainability as an integral part of our responsibility - and prefer to let actions speak instead of words.
Our dedication
By signing the “Circular Economy Switzerland” charter, we are actively committed to the circular economy in Switzerland. In plain language, this means that we have committed ourselves to minimising our consumption of resources, our waste and our emissions. To achieve this, we rely on durable products, reuse and recycling. For example, our cardboard boxes are made exclusively from recycled cardboard. In addition, we only deliver our uniforms in plastic-free reusable garment bags and do not use any unnecessary plastic materials.
Because this is not enough for us, we are also committed to sustainable supply chains. That’s why we are a member of amfori, a leading business initiative to improve working conditions in global supply chains. We have committed ourselves to a code of conduct that, for example, excludes child and forced labour and promotes ethical business practices and good working conditions. Of course, the code also applies to our producers and suppliers.
Committed to sustainability
We motivate our employees to assume social responsibility and to work for the sustainable transformation of our economy and society. Almost all our employees use public transport to get to work. We are also happy to allow home offices in order to save further emissions. Regular clothing donations to charitable organisations and the reduction of our vehicle fleet are further steps in the right direction. At Image Wear, we don’t just talk about sustainability, we live it!
