WEBER International AG blev i august
2017 GOTS-certificeret. Certificeringen er
bæredygtighed. GOTS sikrer ikke alene, at
bomulden er økologisk. Den fulde forsyn-
ingskæde fra fiberproduktion til detailbu-
tikken kontrolleres efter både miljømæs-
sige, sociale og tekniske kriterier. Dette gør

GERRY WEBER, says to NU that she is proud
that GERRY WEBER is at the forefront re-

- Until now, unfortunately, we do not note a

on these things - or we are one step ahead
of demand. However, I'm certain that the
future consumer wants to act responsibly
- also when it comes to fashion, says Lene
Harders.
