How sustainable is Norden Project?

Nor­den Pro­ject is a sus­tai­nable Cana­dian outer­wear brand that was foun­ded in 2018. Though the brand is rela­ti­ve­ly new, the brand gets almost eve­ry­thing right! Nor­den Pro­ject is very trans­pa­rent about what mate­rials it sources and where manu­fac­tu­ring takes place. The com­pa­ny is alrea­dy a B Cor­po­ra­tion and cer­ti­fied by PETA since it does not use any fur, fea­thers, and lea­ther for its pro­ducts. All desi­gns are done at home in Cana­da, but Nor­den Project’s fini­shed goods are made by a cer­ti­fied manu­fac­tu­rer in Chi­na, and their coat insu­la­tion is made in the Uni­ted States. The brand encou­rages recy­cling with its close-the-loop pro­gram, and it main­ly works with sus­tai­nable mate­rials.

At the moment, Nor­den Pro­ject does not pro­vide infor­ma­tion about its car­bon foot­print, which makes sense for a com­pa­ny this young. So even though there’s room for impro­ve­ment there, just about eve­ry­thing else the com­pa­ny does is fair and sustainable.
