We take responsibility
We believe that good cooperation is an important success factor for the success of unique and high-quality textiles. Transparency is a key element of our sustainable DNA and creates understanding of how diverse the textile value chain is.
Because it is a long way from the first idea of a new garment to the final product and many people are involved in this creative process. We show you where we produce and the people behind our products, and explain what makes the production sites so special. We work with both large companies and small family businesses. In principle, most of our producers have certificates that guarantee the social standards in the company.
These include the GOTS certificate, the BSCI Code of Conduct, the SA8000 standard and auditing by the Fair Wear Foundation.
In addition to the certificates, consistent values play a decisive role in the selection of our partners. We regularly visit our partner companies in order to maintain personal contact and to be able to form our own picture on site.

China
Warum produziert LANIUS auch in China und nicht nur in Europa?
LANIUS produziert seit über zwölf Jahren in China – ausschließlich in ausgewählten Betrieben, denen die Liebe zur Nachhaltigkeit und zum Handwerk unter fairen Bedingungen genauso wichtig ist wie uns.
Das Etikett „Made in China“ ist negativ behaftet und wir möchten aufzeigen, dass sich dieses Vorurteil nicht pauschal auf ein ganzes Land mit all seinen Produktionsstätten anwenden lässt.
Denn: Gute und weniger gute Produktionsstätten gibt es weltweit. Unsere Partnerbetriebe besuchen wir persönlich und in vielen Fällen blicken wir auf eine jahrzehntelange gute Zusammenarbeit zurück.
Die Auswahl der Betriebe erfolgt anhand unserer Nachhaltigkeitsrichtlinien und hohen Qualitätsstandards sowie der grundlegenden Vision von natürlichen, nachhaltigen Materialien und von sozialer und gerechter Entlohnung.
Ein wichtiger Aspekt ist zudem das Thema Umweltschutz und Wertschöpfung: Wir haben den Anspruch, die Materialien aus den Ländern zu beziehen, aus denen sie ursprünglich stammen, und sie auch dort zu verarbeiten. Wie zum Beispiel die von uns verwendeten Rohmaterialien Hanf und Seide.
