Policy statement
We embrace responsibility!
From the development right up to the production of a collection, we see it as our mandate to abide by international environmental and social standards and to manufacture our goods exclusively in BSCI-certified production facilities.
Some of our standards include those for environmental protection, fairness, employee culture, employee safety, anti-abuse measures, compliance with behavioural codes and pre-emptive action.
These are backed up by our ISO 9001 certification, BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) certification and awarding of the national “Green Button” seal.
In our day-to-day operations, we also actively contribute to improving social and environmental standards in the textile supply chain. Because we are convinced that treating people and nature with consideration and respect is the best way to ensure future success together.
Tangible proof of this is our company headquarters in Wolfertschwenden which was built according to the latest energy and environmental standards.
Sustainability Report
We are ready to take responsibility and implement concrete measures. In addition to environmental and climate protection, this also includes, among other issues, partnership-based supplier management, sustainable product development and the use of responsibly produced packaging. You can find all information on our promise "We embrace responsibility" in our Sustainability Report.
The “Green Button” is a national seal for sustainable textiles. It is a means of certifying to potential buyers that the clothing in question has been manufactured in a socially and environmentally responsible way. It is affixed directly to the product and easy to find when buying – reliable and user-friendly.
The “Green Button” seal involves binding requirements with regard to human and environmental protection. A total of 46 exacting social and environmental standards must be met, from A (as in Air Pollution) to Z (as in Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals).
Independent test centres ensure the certification and awarding of the seal are done in a transparent and safe manner.

Social responsibility
“Sustainability is firmly anchored in our corporate philosophy - the motto is "We live responsibility". In concrete terms, for us this means acting with foresight and complying with codes of conduct. We may be company active around the world but we also put our hearts into thinking locally. And the work that the Bunter Kreis Allgäu does with children and families is something very close to our hearts.” Jürgen Baunach, member of the board of directors of Bunter Kreis Allgäu e.V., is thrilled to receive our renewed support at a personal presentation event at the aftercare centre. “The continuing financial support we receive from Wilox gives security of planning in our work. We know that we cannot take this commitment for granted. Which is why we are extremely grateful to the company for this partnership,” explains Baunach.
