Road to Sustainability
The vision
Let’s clarify: what’s the big picture here? What are we trying to achieve with our purpose-driven sustainability work?
To answer as simply as possible: to cool down the planet and preserve its natural beauty.
To put it bluntly, we are facing a global climate crisis. Our planet is warming rapidly. Fortunately, there is a solution: by bringing back nature through cost-effective, nature-based solutions, we can mitigate global warming by 37%!*
This approach will benefit nature, biodiversity, and people everywhere — and help cool down our planet.
Regreened 8.232.529 m² of land.
The strategy
To drive positive change for the planet together, we’ve divided our strategy into three key areas: Minimize Impact, Ethical Manufacturing, and Restoring Nature.
1. Minimize Impact
We are proud to announce that we are officially part of the B Corporation community.
Certified B Corporations are a new kind of business that balances purpose and profit.
As a Certified B Corp, we are evaluated by the nonprofit B Lab to ensure we meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, public transparency, and accountability. From now on, we are legally required to consider the impact of our decisions on our workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment — all with the aim of driving a global movement that uses business as a force for good.
2. Ethical manufacturing
The manufacturing process of our products has been carefully curated with a focus on a transparent, people-first approach. By concentrating our efforts on fair working conditions and building long, meaningful relationships with our suppliers, we ensure that our manufacturing is as ethical as possible.
The strong, long-term relationships we have established with our suppliers and manufacturers give us unrivaled control over every step of the supply chain, allowing us to be highly selective about the partners we work with.
Most importantly, this enables us to ensure that our products are produced sustainably and that working conditions throughout the supply chain are not just fair, but exceptional.
3. Restoring nature
Cortazu doesn’t exist just to sell outerwear products. We’re here to inspire people to create their own adventures while supporting the world around us.
That’s why we partnered with Justdiggit. to start cooling down the planet. If we can warm up the Earth, we can also cool it down.
Our goal is to Regreen 10 million square meters of land by the end 2025.
As of 2024 we have re-greened 8.232.529 m² of land in the Enkii area in Kuku, Kenya. But we are not stopping there. Check out our regreening page to see what our plans are and how it is made possible through bund-technology.
