At Stuckies, environmental and sustainability work is carried out through conscious material choices, cooperation with certified manufacturers, and long term relationships throughout the supply chain.
This work is based on concrete actions and verifiable standards. The focus is on reducing impact across the product’s entire life cycle, from material selection to use and recycling.
Long term and sustainable development
Stuckies considers it a responsibility to develop products in a responsible and sustainable way. This involves clear requirements for both internal operations and partners throughout production and the supply chain.
Through ongoing dialogue and follow up, the goal is to gradually further improve sustainability work as new materials, methods, and standards develop within the industry.
Continuous improvements
Our sustainability work is an ongoing process. Materials, production methods, and suppliers are continuously evaluated to identify opportunities for improvement from an environmental perspective.
Developments in the textile industry are monitored on an ongoing basis, and new solutions are implemented where they are relevant and possible to verify.
Certifications and material choices
To provide clear and accurate information, sustainability work is based on recognized third party standards and certifications held by manufacturers and material suppliers.
The products are manufactured by producers who hold a valid OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification. This means that materials and components used in production have been tested for harmful substances in accordance with the standard’s requirements. The certification is held by the manufacturer and applies to the materials and production units covered by their license.
Selected products contain recycled material from suppliers certified to the Recycled Claim Standard (RCS). The RCS license is held by the supplier and verifies that the stated amount of recycled content is correct and traceable through the supply chain.
Some products also contain organic material from suppliers certified to the Organic Content Standard (OCS). The OCS license is held by the material supplier and ensures that the share of organic content is verified and traceable from raw material to finished product.
Traceability and documentation
Traceability is an important part of our sustainability work. Documentation from manufacturers and suppliers is used to substantiate material content and certifications, and the information is updated as supporting documents and verifications become available.
A strict requirement is that sustainability claims must be based on documented evidence and valid certificates held by partners, and not on assumptions or generic wording.
Product quality and lifespan
A key part of environmental work is creating products with a long lifespan. When products are used for longer periods, the need to replace them frequently decreases, which contributes to lower resource consumption over time.
Product development therefore focuses on fit, function, and materials suited for repeated use.
Packaging and logistics
Packaging and logistics solutions are continuously reviewed to reduce unnecessary materials and unnecessary transport. Where possible, functional and resource efficient solutions are prioritized over more extensive packaging.
Social responsibility
Social responsibility is addressed through clear requirements for how production should be carried out and through cooperation with established and reputable suppliers. Manufacturers are expected to operate in accordance with applicable legislation and internationally recognized principles for working conditions.
This includes requirements for a safe working environment, reasonable working hours, and the right to statutory compensation. Child labor and forced labor are not accepted in any part of the supply chain.
Business ethics
Business ethics is a central part of how operations are conducted. The goal is long term relationships with suppliers and partners where transparency, responsibility, and mutual respect are fundamental.
All communication regarding materials, products, and certifications is based on verifiable documentation from manufacturers and suppliers as well as recognized standards.
Transparency and limitations
Certifications and standards differ in scope. Therefore, it is made clear what each label means, who holds the license, and what it does not cover.
When information is missing or cannot be verified, sustainability claims are avoided. The goal is to be accurate and transparent, even when this means choosing not to use simplified messages.
Work in progress
Work relating to the environment, social responsibility, and business ethics is not static. Sustainability is a long term commitment where improvements are made step by step, in line with new requirements, better documentation, and increased knowledge.
Through continuous follow up and dialogue with partners, the goal is to develop this work in a responsible and realistic way.
