Climate protection

We are making a statement for the protection and preservation of our Earth's climate

As a fashion label, we see ourselves as having an absolute responsibility to act. That's why we invest in climate protection projects that promote renewable energies.

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

Through this emission offset, we give back to our Earth what we, as a producer and fashion label, take from it elsewhere. By offsetting our emissions, we support, for example, rainforest protection projects and the promotion of renewable energies.

We are continuously working on reducing our CO₂ footprint and on the sustainable development of our company and our products.

If greenhouse gas emissions cannot be avoided or reduced, the only remaining option is to offset them. For this, the amount of emissions generated by a specific activity – such as a flight or the production of an item – is first calculated.

The compensation itself then takes place via certificates, which precisely offset the amount of emissions generated through climate protection projects.

Companies and private individuals can purchase these certificates from providers like ClimatePartner. The purchase of these certificates funds climate protection projects. The benefits of these projects are regularly monitored and thus ensured through independent quality standards.

We support the expansion of renewable energies

The emissions determined for our Spring/Summer 2024 collection are offset by promoting the expansion of renewable energies in Asia. Climate protection projects generate necessary resources to drive the expansion of sustainable technologies. The portfolio we support backs projects in several Asian countries. It is comprised 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 energies 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 supply, and create jobs for local people.

Our CO₂ reduction measures

01/

Slow Fashion

We create and produce only 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

In organic farming and animal husbandry, natural fertilizers and feed are used, which require far less energy to produce compared to chemicals and pesticides, and thus also cause less CO₂.

03/

Short value chains

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

Used Shipping Boxes

Our cardboard boxes made from recycled cardboard are reused multiple times whenever possible. This means the shipping boxes get a second, third, or even fourth "life." We are therefore very grateful for your careful handling of the packaging, our customer.

May

Green Office

LANIUS's headquarters in Cologne offsets all generated CO₂ emissions and, like the LANIUS stores, sources electricity from renewable sources. Understanding sustainability as a holistic process also means striving for environmentally and socially responsible actions in everyday life.

June

Renewable Energy

We not only use green electricity from naturstrom at our company headquarters and in the LANIUS stores – over 60% of our production partners also already use a proportion of electricity from renewable energy sources.

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