Our commitment
Durable workwear:
four goals, one path.
At workfashion, responsibility for people and the environment is at the heart of everything we do – day after day. We see ourselves as part of a large ecosystem. Our approach is based on three pillars: decent working conditions, ecological responsibility and economic viability. As a member of Sustainable Textiles Switzerland, we measure how we put them into practice in durable workwear and work clothing against the four STS goals.
Our four STS goals.
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations set the global framework. Sustainable Textiles Switzerland translates them into four binding goals for the Swiss textile and clothing industry. We have been committed to these goals since 2024 – they are the foundation of our work along the entire textile value chain.
With durable products, we take responsibility for the world of tomorrow. For each goal, you will find a detailed explanation, where we currently stand, our current challenges and the people behind it.

From the initial idea to the finished product.
WE DEVELOP, PROCURE AND MANAGE FOR YOU.
At workfashion we understand that sustainability means working energetically together, starting with the first spark of an idea and ending with the finished product - and beyond. Find out how we develop, source and manage to create clothing that protects the body and the environment.
01.
Development.
Our designs combine aesthetics with function. Innovative materials and sustainable design principles ensure that the products we create are durable, repairable - and recyclable.
02.
Sourcing.
We select our suppliers carefully to ensure that they share our high standards concerning working conditions, environmental protection and ethical business practices.
03.
Management.
With an efficient logistics operation and a sophisticated inventory control system, we minimise example how waste throughout the entire life cycle of our products.
Figures we disclose.

The results of the progress measurement are based on workfashion's own information as a committed actor and represent an internal assessment by the Sustainable Textiles Switzerland programme. No audit has been carried out by the programme.
Together for a better future.
Our journey towards durable workwear is an ongoing process. We are grateful for the support and commitment of our partners, our customers and the entire workfashion team – and we invite you to walk this path with us.
