MADE IN GREEN BY OEKO-TEX®
FTC® is the first vertically integrated fashion brand to acquire the label MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX®. The MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX® label is an all-encompassing sustainability label making the invisible efforts of sustainable procedures and companies visible. Inspiring confidence, the label acts as a sign for transparency, social responsibility, environmentally friendly operations and consumer safety.
TRACEABILITY AT YOUR HANDS
This will ultimately be shown on all FTC® fashion styles through the OEKO-TEX® Label Check. Utilising an individual QR code on each product hangtag, customers can easily scan and access each step of their new piece’s manufacturing journey; from cradle to closet. Follow the creation from raw material sourcing, carding, dying and spinning of the yarn, to the knitting- and linking process of the style for a more sustainable fashion consumption. As such, product traceability, transparency and in-depth information are at the hands of the customer.
The process of achieving a MADE IN GREEN label is multi-faceted and consists of two essential OEKO-TEX® certificates: the STANDARD 100 and STeP. With FTC® becoming STANDARD 100 certified already in 2021, we have been deeply involved in proving our sustainable approach through the STeP investigation. STeP, short for Sustainable Textile Production, involves a thorough examination into all steps of factory production of clothing. This MADE IN GREEN label was achieved by FTC® in 2022 after a nine month long companywide investigation into sustainability parameters such as environmental impact, animal welfare, social responsibility and traceability.
Careful & Responsible
What distinguishes FTC® from other brands is the fully owned and managed supply chain. All steps from fodder production for our own cashmere goats and animal caretaking to fabric- and garment manufacturing are owned and managed by the company, which creates a more holistic approach for sustainable development. Baring this in mind, our customers can safely buy, wear and re-wear their FTC® styles knowing both head and heart have been immersed in the creation.
