Sustainability
Sustainability is built into everything we do—from designing durable workwear to taking responsibility for our impact. Through long‑lasting products, transparency and action, we work to reduce our footprint and drive real change.
Durable workwear, made responsibly
Working on sustainability in an unsustainable industry
We make and sell workwear – and just like every other clothing manufacturer out there, we have a choice to make. Do we maximise sales no matter what, or do we work in a way that means we can look ourselves in the eye with a clear conscience when we’re in our 80s? We choose the clear conscience.
This is our sustainability page, where we like to geek out about absolutely everything to do with being sustainable. Or as we tend to think of it – doing our job.
Own production, full transparency
Clothing companies without good control over their production can’t seriously improve working conditions or reduce their climate footprint. This is a key reason why we want to own our production. When our factory in Bangladesh reaches full capacity in 2026, ninety-eight percent of the clothing and footwear we sell will be made within the walls of factories we have helped build. We’ve always considered it unthinkable to sell products without transparent and responsible production.
Sustainable means long-lasting
Blåkläder workwear must be durable and long-lasting. That’s our business concept, but it’s also our main sustainability factor. Lifespan is therefore top of our designers’ minds when developing products and choosing the necessary materials. We have a lifetime guarantee on the seams and will help you get your garments repaired if they do end up needing it.
