CSR

Producing and Delivering with a Minimal Carbon Footprint

With Dolfing clothing, you choose both quality and sustainability. Throughout our operations, we strive to minimize our impact on people and the environment in as many ways as possible:

• Energy: reducing consumption through LED lighting, efficient insulation, and solar panels.
• Materials: approximately 70% of our clothing is made from recycled and reused raw materials, including recycled polyester and recovered PVC paste.
• Waste: waste materials are recycled into new raw materials wherever possible. Remaining CO₂ emissions are offset through sustainable energy projects.
• Gas consumption: CO₂ emissions from our gas usage are compensated through projects supported by our energy supplier.
• Transport and delivery: we reduce emissions from parcel deliveries through more efficient routes, innovative delivery methods, and cleaner fuels. Remaining emissions are offset through green energy projects.            

Energy-Neutral Production

The energy required for our production process is generated by the solar panels installed on the roof of our production facility. As a result, Dolfing is among the few clothing manufacturers able to produce in an energy-neutral manner.

This sustainable energy supply reduces our annual CO₂ emissions by approximately 42,000 kilograms.

Safe and Healthy Clothing – OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Certified

When choosing Dolfing clothing, you can be confident that the garments are safe for the people who wear them.

Our clothing meets the requirements of the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification. This internationally recognized certification guarantees that our products have been tested for harmful substances and are free from, among others:

• heavy metals;
• harmful dyes;
• pesticide residues;
• other environmentally harmful substances.

In this way, we contribute to a safer and healthier working environment.

70% Recycled Materials

Sustainability starts with the choice of raw materials. That is why approximately 70% of our clothing is made from recycled and reused materials. By giving raw materials a second life, we reduce the demand for virgin resources and minimize the environmental impact of our products.

100% Made in the Netherlands/EU

All Dolfing garments are manufactured in the Netherlands/EU, in accordance with Dutch labor standards and quality requirements.

In addition, we work as much as possible with suppliers from Western Europe. Many of our raw materials are also produced within Western Europe. This allows us to:

• maintain consistently high quality standards;
• ensure transparency regarding working conditions throughout the supply chain;
• reduce transportation distances and associated CO₂ emissions.

This combination of sustainability, reliability, and craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do.

Social Responsibility

Dolfing works closely with De Driestroom, a social employment organization that supports people with a distance to the labor market.

Its employees assist us with a variety of activities, providing meaningful daily engagement, personal development opportunities, and active participation in society.

We believe that sustainable business is not only about protecting the environment, but also about creating positive social impact.
