INVOLVEMENT
We supply corporate wear with a unique look, made from responsible materials. We try to find circular solutions and use sustainable and animal-friendly materials. Harmful chemicals have been banned from the production process.
At the moment, we primarily use raw materials that are new, including wool, cotton, and polyester. In order to close the gap in the textile product life-cycle, and to sustain the value of materials and to reduce pressure on natural resources, we investigate circular solutions.
Creating more value while simultaneously reducing raw materials, is a real challenge. We can achieve this using innovative materials and solutions.
ETP provides sustainable concepts for customers that want to reduce their environmental impact. We research and test organically produced fabrics.
We only use animal materials obtained from animals that are treated properly. Wool forms a significant part of our collections.
Fabrics for our corporate wear may be bleached, dyed, and finished at any time during the production process. The use of chemicals is set to strict rules, ensuring the factory workers’ health, as well as minimizing the environmental impact locally.
The packaging and transport of our corporate wear impact the environment. Likewise, our office and daily operations contribute to CO2 emissions. We aim to reduce our environmental footprint.
ETP is a dedicated employer, concerned for its staff’s vitality. In addition, we welcome people whose job opportunities are not wholly ideal.

Social conditions
fair – healthy – safe – ethical
Our production network consists of some 40 factories in nine countries, most of which we have been working with for over five years. These long-standing working relationships improve mutual understanding and, consequently, ensure healthy working conditions.
Our corporate wear should be manufactured under fair conditions: human rights have to be respected and a healthy and safe working environment needs to be created. This applies to the entire value chain. We expect our suppliers to uphold our requirements, including fair wages, a statutory maximum of working hours, prohibition of child labour, workplace safety, abolishment of forced labour, and so on. Annual audits at factories help to ensure our requirements are being met.
