In cooperation with the experts from ClimatePartner, we determine the CO2 emissions of our company's business activities and the production of our entire collection every year and offset them through a climate protection project.
By offsetting these 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 rainforest protection projects and the promotion of renewable energies, for example.
We are continuously working on reducing our carbon footprint and on the sustainable development of our company and our products.
We support the development of renewable energies
We offset the emissions of our fall/winter 23/24 collection by supporting the development of renewable energies in Asia. Climate protection projects generate the necessary resources to drive 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 to the Gold Standard or Verified Carbon Standard.
The project activities help to increase the share of renewable energy in regional and national power grids. The renewable energy portfolio creates jobs in India, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Türkiye 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.
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 certain activity is first calculated - for example, during a flight or during the manufacture of a product.
The offsetting itself then takes place via certificates, which are used to offset the exact amount of emissions produced via climate protection projects.
Companies and also 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 monitored at regular intervals by independent quality standards and are thus ensured.
We see ourselves as a fashion label with an unconditional responsibility to act: The entire CO2 emissions of LANIUS are therefore collected and offset by investments in climate protection projects.

Natural Materials
Organic farming and animal husbandry use natural fertilisers and feeds, which require far less energy than chemicals and pesticides and therefore produce less CO₂.

Slow Fashion
We create and produce only two collections a year. Here, we place particular emphasis on sustainable and robust materials and timelessly beautiful, classic designs, so that you can enjoy your favourite pieces for as long as possible.
03/
Short value chains
We take care to keep the added value in the country of origin in order to avoid unnecessary transport routes.
For example, some of our cotton comes from Turkey, where it is processed into jeans, jumpers or cardigans. We source our alpaca wool from Peru, where the alpacas live high up in the Andes. The precious wool is still processed here in the traditional way.

Second Hand Shipping Boxes
Our cardboard boxes made of recycled cardboard are reused several times, if 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.

Green Partners
Over 60% of our production partners already use a proportion of electricity from renewable energy sources. Unfortunately, in many countries it is not yet possible to buy green electricity. It is an important goal for us to work towards making electricity from renewable energy sources the standard in the future.

Green Office
The LANIUS headquarters in Cologne offsets all CO₂ emissions and, like the LANIUS stores, uses natural electricity. LANIUS employees are provided with sustainable office materials and a drinking water treatment system. The cost of using public transport is covered in full.
