SUSTAINABILITY
For us, sustainability is a shared path with our employees, suppliers and partners - and an integral part of our business activities. To this end, we utilise our textile experience in an economically sensible, but also ecologically and socially compatible way. The use of sustainable materials and environmentally friendly processes are a start. We continuously optimise our processes to increase environmental friendliness. Transparency regarding our production operations and responsibility towards our employees worldwide are important to us and are part of our corporate culture.

The use of recycled fibres conserve resources, as energy and water consumption is many times lower than with new fibres. gfibres.
The polyester fibres from the company REPREVE® are made from collected plastic bottles and industrial waste. REPREVE® fibres give plastic bottles a second life - and keep them away from nature. REPREVE® is a registered trademark of Unifi.
For polyester fibres with the marking REPREVE® Our Ocean PET bottles are collected within a 50 kilometre radius of coastal regions where there is no official waste or recycling system.

High-quality casual wear is what our customers expect from us. However, our tasks are more diverse. As a fashion company, we also have an obligation to make a contribution to society. This means setting out to work in a more sustainable and resource-conserving way - in all areas of our business activities.
For us, sustainable behaviour is a shared path with our employees, suppliers and partners and an integral part of our corporate philosophy. As a German textile company with a global supply chain, we face different challenges every day. We face these with ecological and economic responsibility, passion and reliability. At the same time, we keep our eyes open for new trends and innovations in order to actively shape the future of the fashion industry.
In our Sustainability report we provide an overview of current processes and progress at CLINTON. The report is intended to show where we stand today. It is an interim report that we are constantly reviewing and improving.
Sustainable packaging
We are increasingly using recycled materials for our packaging film and cardboard in order to reduce our carbon footprint in the long term.
Our shipping bags and our returns bags are therefore also made from recycled plastic, both certified with the "Blue Angel" environmental seal.
The bags therefore consist of at least 80 % of post-consumer recycled material. In this way, we save valuable resources by recycling existing raw materials from waste products and processing them into new products.
And we attach particular importance to taking into account the various requirements in the extensive supply chain and protecting the product during transport.
Our official motto reflects these thoughts:
BE GOOD, BECOME BETTER.
This principle is both a driving force and an aspiration.
