The HOLY FASHION GROUP contributes to a sustainable and climate-neutral economy by using renewable energies and conserving resources. At the headquarters and in our stores as well as in our production facilities, as well as within the transport chain, the impact on the environment should be as low as possible.

With regard to chemical management, HFG prohibits the use of hazardous substances in its products. The company’s own Product Restricted Substances List (PRSL) goes beyond the legal requirements of the REACH Regulation 1907/2006 and is aligned with the stricter standards of OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 and GOTS 7.0. Compliance is verified through laboratory testing conducted by accredited testing institutes.

By eliminating hazardous substances and adhering to stricter standards, this chemical management approach not only ensures product safety but also makes a significant contribution to environmental protection. Since harmful chemicals are preferably not used in products, they do not enter the environment during production, use, or disposal.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Since 2023, the HOLY FASHION GROUP has been operating a photovoltaic system at its headquarters in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, with over 1,200 panels on the roofs, which produce around 520,000 kWh of electricity per year. This covers the electricity requirements of around 100 single-family homes. 82% of the energy generated is used directly by the headquarters itself. Surplus electricity is fed into the public network in sunny months, while in the colder months additional electricity is drawn from hydropower.

In addition to the photovoltaic project in Kreuzlingen, the solar system already installed at the company's own production site in Portugal in 2020 was also expanded further. Of the annual generation of 490k kwh, 71% is used by the company itself.

Since January 2021, the HOLY FASHION GROUP has been sourcing electricity exclusively from renewable energy sources for all stores and showrooms in Germany with the EKOenergy label. EKOenergy is a non-profit initiative of the EKOenergy Network, a group of more than 40 environmental organisations from 30 countries. The energy comes 100% from renewable plants that meet extra sustainability criteria.

In addition, with every kWh of EKOenergy electricity purchased, HOLY FASHION GROUP supports climate funds for renewable energy projects and the EKOenergy Environmental Fund for environmental protection projects in Europe.
