Transparency

JACK WOLFSKIN ensures that our supply chain remains transparent.

The list is broken down into suppliers of “raw materials“ and “manufacturers”, so that you can read all about our partners around the world.

We pull all information from our supplier database, which gives us an overview of all partners and manufacturing process chains for our entire product range. Consequently, we know every step of the way who is manufacturing which items for us – and whether they are adhering to our environmental and social standards. If we detect that problems have arisen with the implementation, we are able to act promptly and take this up directly with the suppliers and assist them in improving their conditions.

We have broken down our suppliers into three categories, which indicate the level of sustainability in their manufacturing processes: “Gold”, “Silver” and “Bronze”. The rating comprises most importantly the implementation of an independently certified “chemical management system”, which ensures that substances that are harmful to the environment and health are excluded from the entire production process. Furthermore, we also share the results of checks made on fair working conditions and waste water tests, meaning that those interested parties can track our goals and identify our progress.
