KnowledgeCotton Apparel is a company from Denmark, founded in 1969. They believe in sustainable clothing that makes a difference. For them, fashion is much more than the fabrics we wear on our bodies. It is also about respect for people and the environment.
They produce sustainable clothing for men and women, timeless, as clean and natural as possible. Their mission is to provide the conscious and active consumer with sustainable fashion choices, without having to compromise when it comes to style, comfort or quality.
Clothes are a human necessity. We all need them. But how often do we stop to think about the impact our clothes have on the environment? The fashion industry is responsible for having a huge impact on both the environment and the well-being of people and animals.
-They have decades-long relationships of trust with their supplier partners and demand fair working conditions, certified organic fabrics, and minimize the use of chemicals and traceable recycling processes.
-Sustainability applies to everyone in the supply chain.
-All stages of manufacturing must be able to create a healthy business and people working in factories and at the farm level must be paid a living wage and treated fairly.
-Working with sustainable materials and fibers means that workers should not be exposed to harmful chemicals, dyes or processes at any level of the production chain.
-There are many women working in the textile industry and it is important that they receive the same treatment and salary as men. Many of our suppliers have educational programs for socially vulnerable women and other measures that improve their lives. To ensure social responsibility, in addition to our visits, we rely on third-party certifications. Social compliance is a part of the GOTS certification, which every production stage of the supply chain must comply with.
-Their suppliers are third-party certified SA8000, BSCI and Fairtrade, which independently monitor social labor situations in factories and cotton fields.
-At KnowledgeCotton Apparel, we have our own code of conduct according to ILO standards, United Nations Global Compact, aligned with our third party certifications.
-As part of their carbon neutral strategy, they plant trees in different parts of the world to help offset the carbon emissions caused by their clothing production. This is why they have invested in the Knowledge Forest in India.
-KnowledgeCotton Apparel has been a certified carbon neutral company since 2019. It's a big step towards a light footprint on the environment
