SUSTAINABILITY
We are committed to making the denim world a better, more responsible place. Every day we have in mind a long-term commitment that we pursue through projects like ISKO Earth Fit™, that forms an integral part of ISKO’s responsible innovation and sustainable platform.
Our Certifications
We are the only denim mill in the world awarded with the prestigious Nordic SWAN Ecolabel and the EU Ecolabel for several articles within ISKO Earth Fit™ collection.
The EU Ecolabel is a label of environmental excellence that is awarded to products and services meeting high environmental standards throughout their life-cycle. The EU Ecolabel criteria are developed and reviewed in cooperation of experts, industry, consumer organizations and environmental NGOs.
The Nordic SWAN Ecolabel is an effective tool to help companies that want to go ahead with sustainable solutions, and thereby enable consumers and professional buyers to choose the environmentally best goods and services.It evaluates a product’s total lifecycle from raw material to waste/recycling, taking into account environmental problems in each part of the supply chain. This achievement came through ISKO’s fulfillment of strict requirements for sustainable fibers, for chemicals used in every stage of production, and caring for social and environmental impacts.

Life Cycle Assessments
In order to fully understand the impacts involved in the textile supply chain, and where we can make even better choices, ISKO has worked to obtain Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) of all of its 25,000+ denim products, in line with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044.
An LCA is a globally recognized methodology used to assess and quantify the environmental footprint of a product, considering impacts across the entire product lifecycle from raw material to finished product.

In order to ensure the validity and replicability of the LCAs, publicly available and independently verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPD®) have been produced by ISKO. An EPD® is a document used to communicate verified, transparent, and comparable information about the life-cycle of products. The International EPD® System is a global program for environmental declarations based on ISO 14025.
