Pledge to Sustainability

We’re committed to minimizing the negative impact on the environment

Christopher Cloos’ efforts towards a more eco-friendly future

We’re committed to minimizing the negative impact on the environment from our manufacturing and worldwide logistics.

The introduction of the biodegradable Cloos x Brady collection represents our first step towards a more responsible future by focusing on the use of premium sustainable materials, without sacrificing the flair for design, aesthetics and craftsmanship that always have been our core characteristics.

In October 2020, we commissioned our first monthly Sustainability Report. Since then, we have developed a new report at the end of each month to understand our footprint and use it as a benchmark for change.

Our progress and where we are going

By the end of 2020, 15% of the Cloos Collection was made from biodegradable and eco-friendly materials. Since then, we have increasingly focused our efforts on more sustainable operations, and through the first quarter of 2021, we achieved our target of making all lenses, packaging and cases biodegradable.

We are proud to announce that as of August 2021, the entire Cloos Collection is now made from biodegradable materials.

CO2-compensated shipping

As our most recent initiative, we have made every Christopher Cloos shipment 100 % carbon emission compensated. Together with our partner Plastic Change, we have calculated all carbon emissions created during our shipments. We then compensate for them by supporting recognized and certified carbon offset projects.

The journey to being 100% eco-friendly

Finally, a permanent initiative of ours in increasing our commitment to the environment is that we always offer all customers 20 % off their purchase in exchange for handing in a pair of frames. They can be worn and used, and we will accept them – regardless of the brand. We can recycle the materials in our sustainable manufacturing process, thus expanding the life-cycle of each pair of frames sold worldwide.

While we are constantly searching for new ways to improve environmental friendliness in our operations, we are proud to have completed 100% of our target of becoming a more eco-friendly, sustainable and carbon-neutral company.
