Traceability

Du willst mehr über dein flauschiges Füllmaterial erfahren? Traceability, d. h. die Möglichkeit, die Herkunft und den Weg der von uns hergestellten Qualitäten zurückzuverfolgen, ist für uns von größter Bedeutung. Wir möchten Transparenz, Verantwortung und eine strenge Qualitätskontrolle in der gesamten Lieferkette sicherstellen, um zu gewährleisten, dass jede Ware auf verantwortungsvolle Weise beschafft wurde.

Aus diesem Grund werden unsere bestehenden Lieferketten bereits seit vielen Jahren durch externe Audits, wie beispielsweise RDS, GRS und Downpass kontrolliert. Wir möchten aber noch einen Schritt weitergehen und arbeiten deshalb zur Zeit an unserem eigenen System, dass unseren Kunden schon bald alle nützlichen Informationen über ihre wertvoll erworbene Qualität zur Verfügung stellt. Schon bald wirst du alles über deine Daune von der Spitze bis zum Kern verstehen…

Certificates


We are committed to continuous improvement and know our responsibility in terms of social, environmental and economic thoughts throughout the entire value chain.

To keep this promise we certify our processes and our supply chain with certificates such as Bluesign, Responsible Down Standard (RDS), Global Recycling Standard (GRS), Downpass, HIGG and Oekotex. The aim of these standards is to guarantee that our products are manufactured with responsible use of resources and the lowest possible impact on animals, people and the environment. It is most important that the waterfowl in the down supply chain are properly raised. Together with the tools provided by these standards we can ensure that down and feathers won as by-product of the meat production come from animals that have never been subjected to any unnecessary harm.

Down and feathers are the most natural material in the world. We make it a fair filling for everyone!
