For a better future! - This item meets our high sustainability standard. The following criteria apply:

• 

  durability

  Durable products have a particularly high lifetime due to their quality and reparability. The durability counteracts mass consumption and high waste volumes and minimises their negative impacts.
• 

  pollutant-reduced production

  Pollutants can have a negative impact on humans, animals and entire ecosystems. The manufacture of sustainable products is characterised by the reduction or elimination of harmful chemicals.
• 

  production in the local area

  The local production is characterised by shorter transport routes and thus a reduction in CO2 emissions. Further advantages are the transparent supply chains and the establishment or preservation of local jobs.
• 

  fair and social production

  This criterion includes socially acceptable production conditions and a transparent value chain for the products. In addition to internationally regulated social standards, there are a number of specific measures that are initiated and implemented by the manufacturers.
