ECO-RESPONSIBLE WINTER COATS

At FOSFO, we sincerely believe that sustainability is much more than just a fashion statement. Every day, we strive to do more for our planet and its playgrounds.

Concerns about our planet's ecosystems are not new. In 1987, the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development published a report entitled "Our Common Future" and summarized the concept of sustainability as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".

Our ethical approach

Let's do more for our planet.

At FOSFO, we are committed to manufacturing products that represent our values .

We define ourselves by our authenticity and transparency . Our commitment is to create high-end products that are environmentally friendly and made in a safe and healthy working environment.

We believe we can reduce our environmental footprint and yours . We believe that to reduce it, our creations must be eco-responsible and sustainable. We have researched the best innovations on the market to offer you puffer jackets that respect the planet and meet our highest quality standards.

Why use fishing nets? A responsible approach to cleaning the oceans.

Every year, tons of abandoned fishing nets, called "ghost nets," pollute the oceans, trapping wildlife and destroying marine ecosystems.

At FOSFO, we give them a second life: transformed into clothing, these nets are recycled while contributing to the cleanup of the oceans.

"Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed."

Antoine Laurent Lavoisier

From a single fishing net, we can make five padded jackets. The outer fabric of our down jacket is made from these discarded nets: they are first transformed into yarn, then woven to create a sustainable and eco-responsible textile.

Thanks to Ripstop technology, this fabric offers many advantages: it is waterproof, tear-resistant, flexible and perfectly suited to all climates.

Ethically Made

It is important to us to create environmentally friendly products and, in addition to that, we also want them to be manufactured in factories where every employee is treated with respect and paid a fair and decent wage. That's why all the factories we work with are BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) certified.

The BSCI audits companies that adhere to its code of conduct. This code refers to international conventions to improve working conditions in the supply chain. Working conditions, reasonable hours, fair wages, and a safe working environment are also regulated in this code.

In addition, to verify that our standards are being met, members of our team abroad visit our partner factories several times a year.

Material certifications

Our standards are high because we are determined to offer you our best in everything we create. That's why we choose certifications that align with our goals and values.

Responsible down only. We use thick down as insulation in our FOSFO puffer jacket, and it's RDS certified. The Responsible Down Standard is an independent, voluntary global standard. Companies choose to certify their products even though no legislation requires them to do so. This standard ensures that the down and feathers come from animals that have not suffered any unnecessary harm. The welfare of the birds is respected at all times. The standard also guarantees that the traceability of RDS down and feathers is maintained throughout the process, from farm to final product.

It was a priority for us to guarantee the recycled content in our products and to verify the social, environmental and chemical practices of our partners in their production. GRS certification seems to us to be the best way to obtain this guarantee, as the objectives of this standard are to define requirements to ensure accurate content declarations, good working conditions, and to minimize harmful environmental and chemical impacts. We are GRS certified on almost all our products and we are committed to maintaining this situation!

We have chosen to use organic cotton fiber grown in soil free of prohibited substances for at least three years prior to harvest and certified GOTS for the production of our hoodie collection. The Global Organic Textile Standard covers the entire production process, based on the use of organic fibers, from textile processing and manufacturing to licensing and labeling. While this is a rigorous process requiring many criteria to be met, the result is an internationally recognized organic certification providing sustainable, ethical, and high-quality products. This certification ensures the product is fully organic from farm to finish and guarantees worker rights. We are proud to offer the highest quality organic cotton while maintaining our ethical approach.

We think about the planet all the way through.

From our facilities to you, we are committed to ensuring that our efforts to protect the planet are continued. In addition to the certifications of our products and respect for workers, we continue with small details in our packaging.

Our shipping boxes and labels are made from recycled and recyclable materials, which are environmentally friendly.
