OUR CERTIFICATIONS

Since the beginning of Buckle & Seam, we have only worked directly with manufacturers and craftsmen. While we can now boast numerous certificates, we and especially our partners initially lacked the necessary capital to carry out these certifications. We are therefore all the more proud that we as a company and our local partners have received such confirmations today. In terms of material selection (REACH + LWG), fair and safe working conditions (BSCI) and existence as a company (BCORP), we have some of the most important certificates in Europe and worldwide.

While we want to support personal and professional development with every product we sell and ensure the basic right to education for all, we also strive to manufacture our products ourselves as conscientiously as possible.

CERTIFIED LEATHER

The Leather Working Group (LWG) is an initiative in which brands, manufacturers, retailers and tanneries have joined forces to make the conditions in tanneries and intermediaries more transparent and bring about sustainable change.

100% of the leather we work with is LWG-certified and is therefore responsibly sourced. It is particularly important that any waste water produced is not simply discharged back into rivers and lakes, but is responsibly filtered, treated and reused. We therefore offer products that have been manufactured according to the best environmental practices.

All our suppliers have LWG certification, which was awarded after a rigorous assessment of their own environmental performance in the respective country.

FAIR WORKING CONDITIONS

Social responsibility is at the heart of our company. Through the BSCI Code of Conduct, we have committed ourselves to complying with social standards in the manufacturing process. This means ensuring fair, clean and equitable workplaces in our partner factories and production facilities.

We are proud to be able to pay our employees in our own production facilities an average wage that is 3 times higher than the average in Pakistan. In addition, we offer them health insurance for themselves and their families, unemployment and pension insurance, so that we can contribute to improving working conditions worldwide!

REACH CONFORM

Products and articles are considered REACH-compliant if they fulfill all the conditions of the EU Chemicals Regulation. The REACH regulation is a set of standards issued by the European Union to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks posed by chemicals, while promoting the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry. It also proposes alternative methods for the hazard assessment of substances in order to reduce the number of animal tests.

Our entire range is 100% REACH compliant and meets all requirements precisely.
