We make all our material choices with care; we find out the material's environmental effects and test how well the materials withstand use and washing. From the point of view of responsibility, all materials contain their own advantages and disadvantages, which is why no textile fiber can be considered as a good or bad alternative. However, we are constantly working to be able to use the most ecological options on the market in our clothes.

An important part of Kaiko's responsibility strategy is reducing emissions, which starts with accurately calculating our own emissions. Our goal is to be carbon neutral for our own direct operations by 2024 (net zero, scope 1 & 2). We have also signed Suomen Tekstiili ja Muoti ry's Carbon-neutral textile industry 2035 commitment, which serves as a concrete tool for textile companies to curb climate change.

We want to reduce the amount of textile waste by manufacturing sustainable products. Our collections designed to be timeless also speak for slower fashion. Clothes that last longer in the cycle have less impact on the environment when the product is used up before ending up as waste.

The quality of the products also starts from the design, in which case a suitable and durable material is selected for the product's purpose. We want to create empowering fashion in the blink of an eye - products that stand the test of time and use and feel relevant from season to season.
