Social Responsibility & Sustainability
At Own Kind, we are committed to sustainability and ethical practices across every stage of our sourcing and manufacturing process. We work closely with factory owners to ensure safe, fair, and well-monitored conditions for staff, while maintaining high standards in manufacturing methods and materials.
Sustainable Materials
We prioritise responsible sourcing and sustainable materials in all our products with the likes of:
- Better Cotton Initiative (BCI): Ensures cotton is grown with reduced environmental impact, promoting water stewardship, soil health, and fair labour practices.
- Lenzing – Ecovera: A sustainable viscose fibre made from renewable wood sources, produced with environmentally responsible processes.
- European Flax Standard (EFS): Certifies flax fibres that are grown and processed sustainably in Europe, supporting environmentally friendly farming methods..
Rigorous Testing & Standards
All our textiles undergo comprehensive testing and certification to ensure quality, safety, and environmental compliance:
-
Intertek Testing Services: Independent testing to verify product performance, durability, and compliance with international standards.
-
Oeko-Tex Standard 100: Guarantees textiles are free from harmful substances and safe for human use, from raw materials to finished garments.
Ethical Manufacturing
We maintain a hands-on approach with factory owners, monitoring production methods and staff conditions to ensure ethical practices and high-quality output. Our goal is to combine responsible manufacturing with premium results, supporting both people and the planet.
Innovative Packing & Shipping
Our packing process is designed to protect garments while being environmentally responsible. Each garment is packed in recyclable materials using an air-tight, non-crease seal, ensuring it arrives ready to wear. To reduce our environmental impact further, we prioritise shipping over air freight, lowering carbon emissions without compromising delivery reliability.
At Own Kind, sustainability is not just a statement—it’s embedded in our sourcing, manufacturing, and delivery processes, helping our clients achieve responsible, high-quality, and fashion-forward products.
