are we

sustainable ?

Our Strategy for Sustainability As part of the New Wave Group , we are dedicated to conducting business responsibly and contributing to the United Nations ’ Sustainable Development Goals . Our strategy focuses on addressing key global challenges like climate change , resource depletion , and social inequality — issues that also pose risks to our business , the planet , and the people connected to our value chain . In line with these goals , we are committed to continue to grow our range of products that include preferred attributes — materials and processes designed to minimize harm to people and the planet .
Complying with EU Regulations The European Union has introduced new regulations to address the increase of non-certified and made-up labels that can be misleading or confusing to the end-consumer . We take these matters seriously and are fully committed to complying with sustainability regulations . Even though most companies have the right intentions with such labels , these regulations are there to protect consumers from deceptive green claims . Through transparency from all companies , consumers can make well-informed decisions . As part of our commitment , we aim to be fully transparent about the preferred attributes in our collections . Our commitment is reflected in two key areas :
CSR Initiatives and Collaborations : As part of an environmentally conscious company group , we actively participate in corporate social responsibility ( CSR ) initiatives and partnerships through agreements and memberships .
Transparency in Materials and Products : We emphasize the sustainability features of our garments and products by highlighting the key components in their fabrics . These attributes are clearly marked with icons , as described below .

Alliances & Partnerships

To achieve these ambitious goals , we leverage a strong global network of partnerships . Together with this network , we strive to improve the environmental and social impact of the textile industry . As listed on the next page , these partnerships support us in tackling challenges and keep us up to date with the newest developments and innovations in the industry . What we achieve on a company group level is presented yearly on www . nwg . se / en / csr / sustainability-reports .

Discover our carefully curated selection of garments crafted with organic cotton . These products maintain the high quality and signature fit you expect from Clique , while embracing cotton grown with farming practices designed to minimize synthetic pesticides and fertilizers . By sourcing organic cotton , we strive to support agricultural methods that prioritize soil health and ecosystem balance . These practices may also help reduce dependency on synthetic chemicals and genetically modified organisms ( GMOs ).
Designed for durability and performance , some of our garments feature fabrics that include recycled polyester . The use of recycled materials can help reduce the demand for virgin raw materials , by giving used materials a second life . Recycling processes play a key role in diverting waste from landfills , paving the way for more resource-efficient production systems .

Spun-Dyed Polyester in Selected Garments Traditional dyeing methods typically involve treating fibers with dyes after they are produced , a process that can use significant amounts of water and chemicals . Spun-dyeing offers an innovative alternative by infusing color into the raw material before it is spun into yarn . This technique creates fibers with consistent , long-lasting colors , while reducing the need for water in the dyeing process . Spun-dyeing represents a modern innovation in textile production , creating evenly dyed and vibrant colors .
