Acting on conviction

Dear Readers,Sustainability is a topic everywhere and its impor-tance keeps growing. CALIDA GROUP has been gearing all its activities towards sustainability for more than a decade now, and some of its brands have published their own corporate social responsibility reports on this topic.

CALIDA GROUP has been publishing a consolidated Corporate Social Responsibility Report since 2019. Our global clothing group based in Sursee (CH) comprises the brands CALIDA and AUBADE for lingerie, MILLET and LAFUMA Outdoor for alpine sport and the outdoor furniture brand LAFUMA MOBILIER. The environmental and social impact as well as the risks and opportunities vary on account of the equally different products and supply chains. In order to meet these varied requirements, we give our brands a high degree of flexibility in developing their own sustainability strategies. At the same time, the strategies are bound by guidelines: We consider identical standards and uniform reporting as impor-tant. As a Group, we assume responsibility across the entire value chain, address the interests of the various stakeholder groups and align our activities with the principles of sustainable development.

Sustainable thinking and action are an integral part of our corporate culture. Compliance with legal and regulatory requirements is for us a matter of course. The corporate social responsibility report is an expres-sion of how all of us at the CALIDA GROUP carefully and consciously interact with our environment. Not only does that include every single employee in our Group, it also extends to the company in its actions and its goals. We are striving for an alternative to a throw-away society and are doing everything in our power to achieve this.

Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2020 | Foreword

Daniel Gemperle, COO and Reiner Pichler, CEO

CALIDA GROUP has adopted a consistent approach to sustainability in recent years. We have chosen a risk-and-opportunity-based approach for sustainabi-lity management and have built up our programme progressively. Our achievements range from sustaina-bly managing our supply chain and launching sustainable products onto the market through to supporting our own employees in maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Our Group has achieved fantastic results thus far. Nevertheless, we still have a long road ahead of us and would like to invite you to join us on this journey.

Our highlights

We, as the CALIDA GROUP, make every effort to improve our products and achieve healthy levels of corporate growth. Our brands are as unique as their sustainability strategies. We would therefore like to feature the following brand highlights that we have developed and implemented in the past few years:

The spring/summer 2021 swimwear collection will make a statement for years to come. It features a new line of creative swimwear made entirely from recycled nylon. Not only is it sexy, soft and com­fortable, it is also made from a more sustainable material. AUBADE is thus showing its intention to always use sustainable material whenever possible.

When an iconic furniture manufacturer joins forces with a French leather crafts­man… The cooperation with BLEU DE CHAUFFE came from a shared love of sustainable and useful design, driven by humanitarian and ecological awareness. Vegetable tanned leather encounters matt, high­strength steel in this capsule collection produced entirely in France.

Every year, 89 billion plastic bottles are thrown away all over the world. Our partner Repreve® recycles these bottles into a high­performance textile fabric. The bottles are collected, sorted, washed and made into flakes. They are ground, melted and reformulated into chips. The chips are used to make textile fibres from which we produce our Lappland jackets. It is PFC­free and bears the "Low Impact" label.
