Sustainability We truly believe that acting as a responsible business – fully committed to sustainability and human rights – will contribute to lasting success. Our sustainability work and processes are implemented in close collaboration with Craft’s parent the New Wave Group (NWG). While Craft has the full responsibility for the product range, we share a number of important and crucial functions with the NWG on a daily basis, such as factory audits and shipping routines. In addition, through NWG we are a member of several programs, initiatives and collaborations aimed at improving sustainability and workers’ rights. For more information about our sustainability initiatives and CSR policies, please read New Wave Group’s latest Sustainability Report. Crafting eco-friendly concepts During the last seasons, Craft has launched several eco-friendly products and collections. All our cotton-based products, for example, have been replaced by items made of organic cotton fabrics. Furthermore, recycled polyester is used in almost all our categories and the sustainable dyeing process Solution Dye is an integral part of the eco- friendly Essence range. While we have implemented a number of sustainable initiatives on a product level during the last seasons, our ambi- tion for the future is even higher. Within the coming years our goal is to take full responsibility for the entire value chain. In a few years, all Craft garments will be fully or partially made of sustainable fabrics. In addition, all elements of the labels, hangtags and packaging will be made of recycled, recyclable and/or bio-degradable materials.

We are committed to steadily increasing the use of more sustainable materials in our manufacturing process and products. At the same time, we are driven by a sustainable mindset in the entire design process – devel- oping high quality products that don’t need to be replaced as often and that come in classic, timeless colorways with a long lifecycle.
