MASCOT Workwear - Unique Brochure

Responsible consumption and production Economic growth and sustainable development require that we show due care and diligence when using our products and resources. We must ensure that our consumption and the way we produce our clothes around the world are done responsibly and with respect for current and future people and the environment.

Minimising waste, energy consumption and rubbish in production Sustainable production also includes limiting waste, rubbish and emissions. Producing clothing is a comprehensive and global process. There are many stages involved. Fabric and other raw materials We work with all suppliers towards a general reduction in the use of chemicals and water. We also choose suppliers based on their environment profile. Most of our piece goods come from suppliers that have both Bluesign ® and are ISO 14001 certified. We are also striving to convert part of the dyeing process to dyeing without or with only minimal use of water.

Own production MASCOT has a great advantage in that we produce the majority of our products ourselves. 75% of all products are made in our own factories, where we control the processes. MASCOT’s factories are located in official, established industrial zones that have been approved by the state ministries in Vietnam and in Laos. All have a comprehensive environment policy and ongoing control of waste management. Wastewater treatment is undertaken by the industrial zones and monitored by environmental agencies. Inspections are made quarterly. MASCOT sorts and registers all waste and as much as possible is collected with recycling in mind. Fabric off-cuts from production are heavily minimised and are also sorted and recycled. MASCOT also has a policy around sustainable climate impact that applies to its own factories, and initiatives are regularly being launched to reduce the production’s impact on the environment.
