We strive to make the most responsible jeans by using materials and processes that are gentle to our planet and the people. Our customers, employees, community and environment are always considered in the impact of our decisions.
We believe that sustainability and circularity start at the design stage. We utilize circular design thinking and sustainable manufacturing processes to make responsible jeans that last. Our jeans will never end up in a landfill. When you are done wearing your EDWIN USA Jeans, we encourage you to send them back to us and we will close the loop by giving them new life.
Our team consists of people with different ideas, strengths, interests and backgrounds working collaboratively toward a common purpose. We respect and encourage each other and show gratitude in our words and actions.
EDWIN USA's 2020 Impact Report summarizes our sustainability efforts. It covers our supply chain, materials, factories, and the environmental impact of our jeans production. We believe that assessing our impact is essential to setting a sustainability policy. Measuring our impact and being transparent about the results keeps us accountable, allows us to measure our progress, and pushes us to improve our sustainable and circular efforts.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a methodology for assessing the environmental impacts of a product, in our case the life cycle of a EDWIN USA jeans. We measure the environmental impact from raw material and processing (cradle), manufacturing to distribution. The goal of an LCA is to provide the groundwork for sustainability or CSR strategy within a company to facilitate better sustainable decisions. For the 2019 LCA of EDWIN USA, we focused on measuring the water, energy and CO2 impact of our jeans. The methodology of LCAs done by EDWIN USA follows the ISO 14040 standard.
Women make up 65% of our team, including our top-level executives. Our team consists of people of many different backgrounds, and we are committed to improving our recruiting and hiring strategies and increasing the diversity of our team as we grow. In addition, EDWIN USA’s digital magazine highlights women, POC and those from the LGBTQ+ community, and the brand featured a trans model in a previous campaign. In continuing with that ethos, EDWIN USA introduced its first gender-neutral collection for Fall 2020. The gender-inclusive line consists of three styles for him, her and them.
In 2015, the United Nations adopted a plan that would eliminate extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice and protect our planet. At the core of this plan are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which outline how that can be achieved by 2030. Governments worldwide are already working toward these goals, and we at EDWIN USA are too. We utilize the SDGs to put sustainability at the heart of our business strategy, measure and manage our impact, report and communicate the results and set future goals. Below we outline the SDGs that are most relevant to us as a business and brand.
Here at EDWIN USA the concept of circularity starts at the design stage. That’s why we design garments that are made to last but can also be recycled in the future.
