Sustainable Materials

Increased use of sustainable materials

Whether sustainable cotton, recycling materials, or pineapple leaf fibers: HUGO BOSS strives to produce established raw materials more sustainably – or strike new ground to develop innovative materials.

HUGO BOSS has always used high-quality materials and processing techniques – as a prerequisite for ensuring long-lasting products. Wherever quality aspects permit it, we make sure to choose more sustainable materials. The ultimate goal is to achieve innovative, sustainable product solutions that unleash the full potential of HUGO BOSS. Advocating for appropriate animal husbandry and breeding practices is a natural part of this strategy.

To make well-founded decisions as part of our sustainable materials strategies, we have conducted an extensive natural capital evaluation of all our materials.

We work constantly on implementing these material strategies, in cooperation with international initiatives such as the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) and the Leather Working Group (LWG) and in close partnership with our suppliers.

Cotton

Cotton accounts for around half of all the materials HUGO BOSS uses, making it very important to the company. We place the highest requirements on this raw material to ensure high-quality, long-lasting products.

Leather

Due to its special properties, leather is used in many products at HUGO BOSS. To live up to our responsibility to people, animals, and the environment, HUGO BOSS only uses selected types of leather and advocates for more environmentally-friendly methods of leather processing.

Synthetic materials

Synthetic materials and blended fabrics are used in nearly all product ranges, particularly in the performance area. That’s why HUGO BOSS strives to make the corresponding processes as environmentally-friendly as possible and to use recycled materials wherever quality aspects permit it.

Innovative materials

At HUGO BOSS, innovation and sustainability go hand in hand. We also work with creative partners. In one example, we created a collection of vegan sneakers made from an innovative material based on pineapple leaf fibers.
