Social responsibility

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.
