Protecting Workers, the Planet and You

THE bluesign® SYSTEM EXPLAINED

From dyes to durable water repellent (DWR) and beyond, chemistry plays a significant role in what we do. The bluesign® SYSTEM helps us promote, adopt and implement safe chemistry and responsible practices throughout our supply chain, from the resources we use to the people we encounter and the environments we recreate in.

bluesign® DESIGNATIONS

You’ll notice many of our products carry the bluesign® PRODUCT label, which meets bluesign’s strict environmental and worker safety standards throughout all elements of the product. In others, we’re using bluesign® APPROVED materials. Here’s the difference:

  • Textiles and components carrying the bluesign® APPROVED label meet the strict safety and environmental requirements of the bluesign® CRITERIA.
  • Designed to keep harmful substances on the bluesign® SYSTEM SUBSTANCE LIST out of the manufacturing process at each step of the supply chain
  • Ensures approved chemical products and raw materials are used throughout the value chain
  • Guarantees a high level of consumer safety
  • Promotes responsible use of resources
  • Consumer products carrying the bluesign® PRODUCT label meet the strict safety and environmental requirements of the bluesign® CRITERIA, as a whole.
  • These products are made of bluesign® APPROVED fabric and components and are produced in a resource-conserving way to lower the impact on people and the environment.
  • A minimum of 90% bluesign® APPROVED fabrics/yarns
  • A minimum of 20% bluesign® APPROVED components
  • Any remaining fabrics, materials or components must come from a qualified supplier
  • Manufacturing adheres to selected International Labour Organization standard

Shifting main body panels and liners to bluesign® APPROVED fabric was a key first step toward lessening our impact. Today, a vast majority of our products use bluesign® APPROVED fabric, disclosed on our product pages and hangtags.

bluesign®
SYSTEM PARTNER SINCE 2021

Signing on as a bluesign® SYSTEM PARTNER in 2021 helped us take a closer look at our production values and implement a system designed to go beyond legal requirements—and to keep harmful substances out of the manufacturing process at each step of the supply chain to protect workers, the planet and you.

THE bluesign® SYSTEM HELPS US IDENTIFY AND UPHOLD STRINGENT STANDARDS...

  • bluesign is built on a chemical inventory and management database encompassing over 20 years of research.
  • bluesign experts help partners navigate their chemical usage and offer trusted transparency for brands and consumers.

  • bluesign® SYSTEM PARTNERS confirm compliance with principles and rights at work from selected International Labour Organization conventions

Then, Now and Looking Forward

Our first bluesign® PRODUCT, the Talon™ Earth 22, helped establish a more rigorous, holistic application of the bluesign® CRITERIA. Since its release, we've applied those standards to a growing list of bluesign® PRODUCTS across each category of our business. Look for the bluesign® PRODUCT logo on relevant product pages.

bluesign® is a key partner in our commitment to reducing environmental impacts and producing more sustainably designed products.
