PRESERVING NATURAL RESOURCES

Aligned with the objectives of the save Initiatives for the Environment, our actions to protect biodiversity around the world set us on the path to a more sustainable future for design.

Sustainably sourced materials are those that naturally have a lighter imprint on the environment, such as calf leather, or materials that are consciously produced in a more ethical or responsible manner. This definition is based on an assessment of the material’s full lifecycle.

Materials we do not use

There is also a list of materials and practices that we have committed to never use due to their unacceptable risks regarding hazardous chemicals, the health and safety of workers, animal welfare and biodiversity loss. These include for example: 

• Angora

• Animal-tested cosmetics

• Exotic skins

• Fluorocarbons

• Mohair

• Leathers from Brazil and Bangladesh

• Products derived from endangered forests
