Sustainability at Lille Vinkel Sko

DIDRIKSONS

REDUCE - REUSE - RECYCLE Functional garments require many components and different materials to withstand the harsh weather conditions and temperatures the products are exposed to. We strive to use mono-materials instead of material blends, even in membranes, which will simplify future textile recycling processes.

Puma

PUMA aims to be a responsible corporate citizen and integrate its social responsibility and environmental sustainability into all its business practices. Striving for a more sustainable world puts us all on the same team. That’s why we work in collaboration with our suppliers to achieve our shared goals, from ensuring fair working conditions to effective climate action, pollution control, and the use of more sustainable materials.

Home & Cook

Tefal presents Masterseal Eco – food containers that are as sustainable as they are practical! The storage boxes are made from 85% bio-based polypropylene and are certified according to ISCC requirements for environmentally friendly properties. The welded seal in the lid keeps the container completely tight to prevent spills. The containers are fridge, freezer, microwave, and dishwasher-safe. Masterseal Eco is made in Germany and designed to last a long time.

Line Of Oslo

We choose environmentally friendly and sustainable materials to reduce our environmental footprint, such as organic cotton, linen, bamboo, tencel, viscose, and mohair. Our strict ethical guidelines, developed by IEH (Ethical Initiative Norway), ensure that all people in all stages from production to sale are taken care of.

Stormberg

Return your used Stormberg clothing. Not wearing your Stormberg garment anymore? Don’t throw it away! Others can benefit from it, and you’ll receive a voucher for new purchases. We have had a return program for all used Stormberg clothing since 2007.

HAGLÖFS

Our ambition is to prioritize and allocate resources to achieve new levels of performance and sustainability in our operations and the products we make. We work to create specialized textile solutions that positively impact people and the planet while simultaneously increasing the durability of our products and minimizing the resources we use. As a leading player in the global clothing industry, we believe it is our responsibility to find solutions that lead to better business practices in the future.

100% Norwegian flour

Råde Bakery

A fully Norwegian, locally produced bread is sustainable! More local jobs and less need for long-distance transportation.

Most bread produced today contains a mix of imported flour, not Norwegian-produced flour, something that most consumers today are unaware of. A survey conducted by Mat og Marked last year showed that out of all types of bread across the country, only as few as three to four types of bread contained only pure Norwegian-produced flour.

Our black oat bread consists not only of 100% Norwegian flour but also flour produced locally in Østfold. It contains as much as 60% black oats, and it also includes miracle flour, which is also produced in Østfold.

The bread is especially moist and extra healthy. The ancient grain black oat contains more unsaturated fat than regular white oats, a lot of fiber like beta-glucans, more protein, and fewer carbohydrates.

LEXINGTON

For Lexington sustainability is a long term investment, and this has always been part of the business model. All of Lexington’s production partners follow our list of prohibited chemicals as well as the EU’s REACH regulations, and we aim to reduce transportation distances by using locally produced materials whenever possible. Our ethical guidelines include clear rules for working conditions, which means that child labor and forced labor are strictly prohibited, as well as work that could harm a person’s health.

Devold

Devold of Norway has committed, following a board decision, to reduce its climate impact in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This obligates the company to halve greenhouse gas emissions from its own operations by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. “We are committed to being transparent about our climate actions, so we can measure our progress and be accountable to external parties. Without standardized methods like SBTi, it becomes challenging to validate or determine when a net-zero goal is reached," says Øystein Vikingsen Fauske, CEO of Devold of Norway.

Björn Borg

We are working hard for a better tomorrow, with a strong focus on sustainability efforts to reduce emissions year after year, with an increased emphasis on reducing the use of new fibers. Among our goals is to use 100% materials with lower climate impact in our assortment by 2030. Polyester is very durable, has good colorfastness, retains its shape well, and dries quickly. Recycled polyester is made from PET bottles and production waste. It uses less water, up to 50% less energy in production, and produces about 30% less CO2 compared to new polyester. A large part of the materials in our products are recycled.

Tights

We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact and contributing to socially responsible practices. Throughout our value chain, we seek opportunities to reduce our climate footprint. We have equipped several of our bestsellers from BUMPRO with S.Café® Coffee Yarn. This groundbreaking fabric is made from an eco-friendly 50/50 blend of polyamide and recycled coffee grounds!

Helly Hansen

Helly Hansen was born in the environment. It’s our duty to protect it. After 140+ years in business, we know that long-term success can only be achieved by respecting, protecting and promoting ethical values, human rights and the environment. We are committed to continue advocating for the responsible use and enjoyment of the oceans, mountains and the greater outdoors. By applying a holistic and scientific approach to all our decisions, we strive to ensure our actions support the possibility for people and the planet to thrive.

Viking Outdoor Footwear

Our goal is to use 100% recycled, renewable, and responsible materials by 2030.

We use third-party certifications that set precise requirements for our suppliers regarding responsibility and verification in the production process, covering social, environmental, or animal welfare standards.

At Viking, we have set Science Based Targets (SBTi) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our own operations in line with the Paris Agreement. In 2023, we completed the first mapping of emissions throughout our value chain, from production to the use of our products, and we have now identified key areas for improvement in our current practices and throughout our value chain.

Viking is committed to respecting people, animals, communities, and the environment through our guidelines for responsible business practices. Our ethical guidelines for suppliers address human rights, working conditions, animal welfare, environmental protection, and anti-corruption.
