Climate protection

We are setting an example to protect and preserve the climate on our earth

As a fashion label, we see it as our absolute responsibility to act. That is why we invest in climate protection projects that promote renewable energies.

In collaboration with the experts at ClimatePartner, we annually determine the CO2 emissions from our company's business activities and the production of our entire collection and offset them through a climate protection project.

By offsetting emissions, we give back to the earth what we take from it elsewhere as a producer and fashion label. By offsetting our emissions, we support projects such as rainforest protection and the promotion of renewable energies.

We are continuously working on reducing our carbon footprint and on the sustainable development of our company and our products.

If greenhouse gases cannot be avoided and reduced, the only option is to offset them. To do this, the amount of emissions generated by a particular activity is first calculated - for example, a flight or the manufacture of a product.

The compensation itself is then carried out via certificates, which are used to offset exactly the amount of emissions generated through climate protection projects.

Companies and private individuals can purchase the certificates from providers such as ClimatePartner. The purchase of the certificates finances the climate protection projects. The benefits of the projects are checked at regular intervals by independent quality standards and thus also ensured.

We support the expansion of renewable energies

The emissions identified in our Spring/Summer 2024 collection are offset by promoting the expansion of renewable energies in Asia. Climate protection projects generate the necessary resources to advance the expansion of sustainable technologies. The portfolio we promote supports projects in several Asian countries. It is made up of many climate protection projects certified according to the Gold Standard or Verified Carbon Standard.

The project activities contribute to increasing the share of renewable energy in regional and national power grids. The renewable energy portfolio creates jobs in India, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Turkey and Sri Lanka.

Climate protection projects play an important role in the global dissemination and implementation of these technologies. Project activities not only avoid CO2 emissions, but can also reduce a country's dependence on fossil fuels, secure energy supplies and create jobs for local people.

Our measures to reduce CO2

01/

Slow-Fashion

We only create and produce two collections a year. We place particular emphasis on sustainable and robust materials and timelessly beautiful, classic designs so that you can enjoy your favorite pieces for as long as possible.

02/

Organic farming

Organic farming and organic animal husbandry use natural fertilizers and feed, which require far less energy to produce than chemicals and pesticides and therefore also produce less CO₂.

03/

Short value chains

We make sure that the added value remains in the country of origin in order to avoid unnecessary transport routes. For example, some of our cotton comes from Turkey and is processed there into jeans, sweaters or cardigans. We get our alpaca wool from Peru, because that is where the alpacas live high up in the Andes. The precious wool is still processed here in the traditional way.

04/

Second hand shipping boxes

Our boxes made from recycled cardboard are reused multiple times whenever possible. The shipping boxes are thus given a second, third or even fourth “life”. We are therefore very grateful for the careful handling of the packaging by you, our customer.

05/

Green Office

The LANIUS headquarters in Cologne compensates for all CO₂ emissions and, like the LANIUS stores, obtains electricity from renewable sources. Understanding sustainability as a holistic process also means striving to act in an environmentally and socially responsible manner in everyday life.

06/

Renewable energy

We not only source ecological energy from naturstrom at our headquarters and in the LANIUS stores – more than 60% of our production partners already use electricity from renewable energy sources.

Choose fair fashion and integrate high-quality, timeless garments into your wardrobe that, with the right care, you will enjoy for many seasons.
