In autumn 2024, Nadja, our Product & Sustainability Manager, took the lead on SANVT’s B Corp certification. Building on existing groundwork, she guided the process end-to-end and deepened her expertise through an intensive B Corp Bootcamp, ensuring we met the highest standards across all areas of the business.

Our assessment focused primarily on the environment, reflecting our core business model. We also reviewed and strengthened internal policies, supplier standards, and operational practices to meet the B Corp requirements.

The certification process involved several stages, from an initial review of documents and scoring thresholds to an intensive Fast Track verification and a final review call with B Corp representatives. Throughout the process, self-reflection was essential — assessing what we already did well, where we could improve, and what was still missing. Documentation covered areas such as supplier Codes of Conduct, employee policies, and environmental standards.

Our journey doesn’t stop here. We’re expanding initiatives such as sample sales for warehouse pieces that are no longer suitable for online retail but still in perfect condition, with proceeds donated to charitable organizations like Die Tafel. Beyond this, we remain committed to continuous improvement and to driving meaningful progress toward a more sustainable fashion industry.
