We take responsibility

OUR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY

As an active member of society, we firmly believe that it is our responsibility to act with complete commitment and with the utmost humility. We are well aware that we are unable to save the world and overcome every issue on our own. But together with our around 12,000 employees in Germany and Austria and our business associates around the world, we are confident of being able to make a relevant contribution. When launching a brand, we see sustainable commerce as a task for the whole company as well as for each and every employee, from our management team to sales assistants in stores. 

Fairness is rewarded

FAIRTRADE AWARD 2022 IN THE “RETAIL” CATEGORY FOR ERNSTING'S FAMILY

With the commitment already shown for 10 years, Ernsting’s family is regarded as one of the outstanding players in fair trade and is doing pioneering work for textiles made from fair trade cotton in the mass fashion market. This was the reason given by the expert jury at the 2022 Fairtrade Germany award ceremony. We are thrilled to have received this award, which is presented every two years and considered to be the most important one for companies and projects in this context.

We take responsibility

OUR PILLARS

At Ernsting’s family, we make sustainable decisions with regards to our products, production, resources, employees and the social commitment of the company. Sustainability and sustainable action and management are not just the responsibility of a single staff unit, but of an interdisciplinary and cross-hierarchical committee where representatives from logistics, sales and the CEO sit alongside all relevant departments.
