species and country of harvest, and work to ensure that
all wood raw material is certified. In 2023, 96% of the
wood raw material used in the Group’s products was
certified. The FSC® label requires all certified compa-
nies to live up to the ILO’s requirements for labour rights,
and through the requirement for an unbroken chain
of certified operators, third-party audits are also carried
out on all operators, from forest to finished product.
93% of the fabrics in our range are OEKO-TEX® or
EU Ecolabel certified, which means they have been
manufactured with regard to the environment and
health, and there is third-party verification of compli-
ance with ecolabel criteria. We require that conflict
minerals must not be included in electronics and
request information and verification from our suppliers.
By taking this measure we want to ensure that we do
not use electronics containing tin, tantalum, tungsten
or gold which have been extracted illegally, or whose
extraction contributes to supporting conflicts.
