Sustainability

Talking about eco-sociological aspects, the textiles industry is in particular focus. We have a great responsibility which we fulfil with comprehensive measures and self-reflective behaviour.

The topics of ecology and social responsibly are not just a passing corporate marketing trend for our family-run company but have been an integral part of our corporate image since our founding over 50 years ago. At that time this topic was not yet called sustainability but was simply called humanity. This is a fundamental attitude which we have retained and will allow us to tell right from wrong in the future.

OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100

Those who claim to create high quality products must be well informed about each individual raw material which the end product is comprised of and must subject these products to regular quality checks against defined quality specifications. From thread to buttons to the sown in woven label. We bear this responsibility not just for the environment but also for our customers who wear our shirts and blouses against their skin. All Kümmel garments are certified in accordance with OEKOTEX® STANDARD 100
