FAQ Sustainability
At Godfrieds Jeans we take concrete steps to reduce our environmental impact: we work with certified natural materials, produce only to order, and assemble every pair by hand in Belgium. We structure our approach around 3 P's: People, Planet, Profit.
People: We are currently a small one-person business. It is our ambition to involve local people in our production in the Benelux as we grow. This is a business aspiration that depends on our further development — no concrete milestones have been set yet.
Planet: We source our denim primarily from Candiani in Italy, one of the few mills producing selvedge denim. From Candiani we currently choose from two cotton programmes: Regenagri (regenerative farming, physically traceable but not organically certified) and BCI (supply chain support — note: not traceable at product level). Which cotton is in your jeans depends on the fabric you choose — see our FAQ Ecological for details. We also offer a repair service to extend the lifespan of our jeans.
Profit: All profit from our jeans sales is reinvested in the further development of our business: better materials, local production and longer product lifespan. As we have no shareholders, we pay no dividends.
At Godfrieds Jeans we take concrete steps to reduce our environmental impact: 100% natural materials, made-to-order production only, no synthetic fibres, and a repair service for longer product life. Read our full materials breakdown above.
