WE is a part of Logo Inter­na­tio­nal, a Dutch com­pany that also owns O’Neill and Van Gils. The brand is wor­king on impro­ving for the bet­ter. It’s offe­ring some trans­pa­rency into its ope­ra­tions and has an acti­ve policy that sta­tes it should only work with res­pon­si­ble sup­pliers. WE is also increa­sing the per­cen­ta­ges of more sus­tai­na­ble mate­rials for its clothing every year. In 2018, 47% of cot­ton was sus­tai­nably sour­ced and 34% of mate­rials in gene­ral were mar­ked as sus­tai­na­ble. With tar­gets in pla­ce to increa­se the­se per­cen­ta­ges, WE is on the right track.

The­re is a lot more to be done though. The com­pany doesn’t publish sco­pe 3 emis­sions and has to work on its pac­ka­ging. It’s still using some ani­mal mate­rials, like mohair, and although WE works with fac­to­ries and sup­pliers that have to have a valid inde­pen­dent audit cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, it can more acti­vely impro­ve the lives of the peo­ple who are res­pon­si­ble for the pro­duc­tion of its clothing by paying a living wage.
