AUDVIK HAS BEEN CONCERNED WITH THE ENVIRONMENT SINCE 1979
Since the brand's creation in 1979, our love of nature has motivated us to always do more to protect the environment . Audvik means "quality of life" in an Inuit legend, and we want future generations to also benefit from a quality of life by allowing them to enjoy the vast playgrounds that our beautiful planet offers.
"Because green isn't just a trendy color."

We are convinced that sustainable development is more than just a trend. At Audvik, we have always paid close attention to ensuring that our coats are designed ethically, sustainably, and locally . For over forty years, we have demonstrated ingenuity and creativity to reduce our ecological footprint, and we are truly proud to be among the leaders in the eco-responsible winter fashion industry.
24,556 BOTTLES OF WATER, AND THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING!
24,556 water bottles – that's the number of bottles we've transformed since our first collection in 2019, made with a fabric made from 100% recycled materials . We put months of hard work, research and development into finding a recycled fabric that meets our quality standards, and we are very happy to allow you to protect the planet when you buy one of our coats.
"Innovate, always and forever!"
We are proud of the progress we have made since our beginnings in offering eco-responsible products , and this leads us to want to raise the bar even higher. For this reason, we challenged ourselves to see how we could recycle even more bottles in producing our coats. So, in addition to using a fabric made from 100% recycled materials , we found a recycled insulation with which all our coats are designed.
"Our efforts: from production to delivery."
It is important to us that our efforts to minimize our ecological footprint are supported at every stage of the product creation process.

LOCAL PRODUCTION
At Audvik, we believe that our workers deserve working conditions and a wage that allows them to live with dignity. By keeping our production in Quebec , we support the local economy and job creation here while promoting the production of eco-responsible and ethical coats . Our employees have access to safe and healthy working conditions as well as a competitive salary.
Keeping our production in our workshop in Chabanel also allows us to reduce our environmental impact . Indeed, since our coats are made in our workshop, they don't travel from the other side of the planet, which limits greenhouse gas emissions related to transport. Furthermore, as the coats go directly from the hands of our seamstresses to yours, we are able to reduce intermediaries. Our coats are therefore handled less and we limit overpackaging.

CERTIFICATIONS
Choosing a certification demonstrates a strong commitment from a company. We analyzed the options available on the market because it was important to us that the chosen certification be in harmony with our values. Our choice of certification for the fabrics used in the making of our coats therefore fell on the Oeko-Tex certification. In addition to being a guarantee of quality and durability , this certification is concerned with consumer health and respectful of the environment.
Oeko-Tex is an international label awarded to textile companies that meet the Oeko-Tex standard. It was created in the early 1990s to allow quality control of fabrics and the entire manufacturing process of processed fabrics, while ensuring they are not harmful to consumer health.
This label is awarded to textile companies that do not use harmful substances in their manufacturing processes. A fabric certified Oeko-Tex will therefore be checked at every stage of processing and will not contain chemicals harmful to health. By limiting their use, Oeko-Tex also helps to protect the planet.
We are therefore delighted to design durable, eco-responsible and, above all, safe coats made from fabrics free of harmful products for the body and the environment .
PACKAGING
We have undertaken a process to optimize the packaging of our products in order to combine practicality with eco-responsibility.
Choosing materials with recycled content for packaging manufacturing is a wise environmental choice. In addition to giving a new life to recovered materials, you will avoid the impacts associated with the extraction and exploitation of virgin materials.
