The partnership strengthens our commitment to producing sustainable workwear of the highest quality and provides customers with additional guarantees of transparent and environmentally friendly production processes.

With its holistic approach based on Input Stream Management, bluesign® system also ensures responsible use of resources and guarantees the highest level of consumer safety.
Transparency in the supply chain
The purpose of bluesign® system is to ensure transparency in the production chain, where all textile components are produced in an input stream management system before the manufacturing process itself begins. In this way, substances that pose a risk to humans and the environment are eliminated from the very beginning.
At Xplor, we are convinced that the best way for the industry to achieve a sustainable future is through transparency and collaboration. By strengthening cooperation in the supply chain and through intense cooperation with our partners, sustainability will develop as a positive consequence. Sustainability as a result of initiating transparency – this is Xplor’s ultimate goal, and our business strategy is built around it.
An important milestone
