KROHN understands that the clothing industry has major environmental challenges, and will constantly optimize and reduce the use of non-desirable fabrics and methods in all our production and offerings.
KROHN’s first suit edition is made in EU with a 80% Lenzing EcoVero certified fabric — a fabric that has been produced under a conscious and sustainable production. Compared to a normal viscose, the production of Lenzing EcoVero viscose has a smaller environmental footprint, and wood for production is sourced from sustainably managed forests.
Water and air: The fibers are produced with up to 50% lower CO2 emissions as well as 50% lower water impact. We also clean the water before returning it to nature. All this to help to combat climate change.
Supply chain transparency: Lenzing EcoVero branded fabrics can be identified in the final product, even after a lengthy textile production. Consumers can be assured that KROHN incorporates genuine eco-responsible viscose in our suits.
KROHN works solely with subcontractors who is/or are in the process of obtaining internationally recognized certificates for materials and production environments.
KROHN are in the process of preparing a Corporate Policy for Sustainable Development in 2023/2024, and seek to apply for membership in Ethical Trade.
KROHN is fully financed by the founder’s savings and has received no governmental nor public funding.
KROHN believes in partnering up. Our six partners and subcontractors are all led and run by female founders (7 out of 10 founders in Norway are men).
