Sustainable supply chain
We assume responsibility along the supply chain and strive for a trusting and long-term relationship with our business partners that is characterised by fairness, reliability and mutual support.
Organic products supply chain
- Filling materials come from controlled organic cultivation and controlled organic animal farming.
- Social aspects of agriculture are taken into account.
- Careful delivery and production – quality assurance through controls.
Certified down supply chain
- All down and feathers used are certified and guaranteed traceable back to the egg.
- Only feathers from animals slaughtered for the food industry are used, so there’s no live plucking.
- Species-appropriate farming of the animals, rearing without force feeding.
