Printwear & Promotion The Total Promotional Package
Karlowsky’s raft of workwear garments have been certified with the German government’s Green Button seal.
As one of only 60 companies in the country to receive this seal of approval, Karlowsky has also sought certification from GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and GRS (Global Recycled Standard).
Thomas Karlowsky, CEO, said: “Our new sustainable products are an investment in the future of our planet and are intended to inspire fundamental change. We are very pleased to be able to offer a collection that meets these prestigious national and international standards already this year.”
The goal of becoming one of the most sustainable producers of workwear in the catering, hotel, medical, care, wellness and cosmetics sectors is firmly anchored in the company’s guiding principles.
The Green Button is a state seal for sustainably produced textiles. It gives consumers guidance when shopping and sets binding requirements to protect people and the environment in the production process of textiles. A total of 46 stringent social and environmental criteria must be met – ranging from wastewater to forced labour. What is special about the Green Button is that the company as a whole is also audited, not just the product. This makes it the first government-run certification label to systematically audit companies for compliance with human rights and environmental due diligence in their supply chains. The German government defines the criteria and conditions for the Green Button, creating clarity and trust. Independent auditors review compliance with the criteria.
The certifications with the Green Button and the two international product seals GOTS and GRS form the foundation for future product development and production at Karlowsky. As a manufacturer, Karlowsky Fashion thus lives up to its pioneering role when it comes to sustainability – with workwear that not only shapes the present with its unusual style, but also shapes the future through the use of sustainable materials.
All new products from Karlowsky can be discovered in the New Styles 2021 brochure.
