SUSTAINABILITY

Our focus at Dr Denim is to make premium denim at an affordable price. Since our launch in 2004, sustainability has always been a focus, and as our brand has developed, so have our sustainability practices. We've never promoted these processes; however, we feel it’s time. We've got a lot to share in 2022 but for now, we’ll let you in on our three-legged approach to sustainability:

Change for the better.

"KAIZEN"

Continuous improvement is at heart because the path towards sustainability must be never-ending and built on a principle of continuous improvement. Moving towards an all-sustainable range is our long-term goal, fulfilled only when expectations are exceeded. Nothing less than great is good enough.

Long life over fast fashion.

"LONGEVITY"

Long-life over fast fashion because longevity is a key ingredient to sustainability, Dr. Denim aims to deliver durable products that don’t go out of fashion and can endure extensive use over a long period of time, minimizing the need to replace and making the product attractive second-hand. To maximize longevity, it's our policy to use quality fabrics, and trims and to follow strict AQL rules before goods are shipped from origin.

Volume over greenwashing.

"HIGG INDEX"

We assess the social and environmental performance of our value chain and the environmental impacts of Dr. Denim products. Imagine one denim fit in one wash where Dr. Denim sells twelve thousand pieces in a year; it's more important that this jean is made of organic cotton than to show off ten different organic cotton t-shirts. Dr. Denim looks to make an impact based on facts and science. To measure sustainability and choose the right strategy, Dr. Denim uses the HIGG index. Currently, all Dr. Denim products are vegan, and by 2025, we're aiming for more than 90% green offering.
