Together for a better future.
Our values and goals
Sustainability is not a short-lived fashion for ETERNA; it’s the corporate philosophy we’ve embodied for decades. Back in the year 2000, ETERNA was the first and only fashion clothing manufacturer in the world to be certified to the highest OEKO-TEX® 100 plus standard, which now corresponds to the MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX® product label. Mindfulness and respect for nature and humankind are the cornerstones of our sustainability policy.
We act environmentally conscious
Throughout the entire life cycle of our shirts and blouses, we endeavour to keep our carbon footprint as small as possible. We avoid monocultures when we source our cotton, we pay attention to the quality of waste water in textile finishing and we optimise transport routes to avoid unnecessary emissions.
We take responsibility
ETERNA takes responsibility for all the people involved in the manufacture of our shirts and blouses – regardless of the country they work in. We regard fair working conditions, occupational safety, regular working hours and social benefits as basic rights and as a matter of course. We do not tolerate discrimination, child labour or forced labour.
We protect resources
We aim to handle resources consciously, meaningfully and sparingly. Our motto is: reduce, re-use, recycle. Wherever possible, we use recycled products in order to give leftover cotton, paper or cardboard a second life. At present, we’re successively replacing plastics with renewable and reusable recycled materials.
We ensure transparency
ETERNA fosters long-term, close relationships with its suppliers. These relationships are built on trust. Because close cooperation is required in order to ensure supply chains are seamlessly certified. The value chains for shirts and blouses which bear the MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX® product label are fully transparent. Consumers can track the value chain in full by entering an EAN code. ETERNA’s sustainable principles are fixed in our company policy and our environmental policy. All employees have to state their commitment to these guidelines. Our business partners have to accept our supplier code of conduct to confirm their sustainable and responsible way of working.
