Product

Our sus­tain­able styles meet the high GERRY WEBER standards in terms of quality and fashion appeal. The share of sus­tain­able garments is to be con­sist­ently increased. For us, sus­tain­ab­il­ity is not a short-lived trend, but an important in­vest­ment in the future of our brand and our company. We are committed to de­vel­op­ing fashion that is safe in social, health and en­vir­on­ment­al terms.

GERRY WEBER has strictly banned real fur and angora since 2015. The goal of con­tinu­ously expanding the use of sus­tain­able raw materials is also reflected in the strategic goals defined for the “Product” field of action.

The steadily growing use of certified and recycled materials increases the trans­par­ency of the supply chain and supports the principle of the circular economy. We rely on strong partners such as GOTS, Amfori and our business partners.

Partners

The GERRY WEBER GROUP sources pre­fab­ric­ated goods from suppliers worldwide. In this context, we rely on long-term part­ner­ships and trusting co­oper­a­tion with our partners. Everything we do is based on the respect for human rights and com­pli­ance with accepted en­vir­on­ment­al and social standards.

To ensure maximum security in this regard, we con­tinu­ously analyse human rights risks at GERRY WEBER. Our suppliers undergo a strict selection and screening process; they must sign the Code of Conduct and the Social Com­pli­ance Agreement.

Under the motto “WE ARE GERRY”, we jointly develop a value-based corporate culture. The working at­mo­sphere is char­ac­ter­ised by in­form­al­ity and flat hier­arch­ies. The focus is placed on a …

GERRY WEBER has in­tro­duced a com­pre­hens­ive and in­nov­at­ive mobile working concept for maximum flex­ib­il­ity, in­di­vidu­al com­pat­ib­il­ity and work-life balance. An average of 40% of the employees are on site, with many working mobile a few days per week from wherever it is con­veni­ent for them. This way, we express trust and personal re­spons­ib­il­ity to our employees and want to give them maximum flex­ib­il­ity in terms of time and place.

In­cid­ent­ally, we in­tro­duced a com­pre­hens­ive working time concept for flexible working hours already back in 2011. In 2023, the working time concept was expanded to include ad­di­tion­al options. Now employees can choose whether to spread their working hours over 4 or 5 days, with the same or reduced weekly working hours. Sab­bat­ic­als are also possible.

It is our stated goal to reduce the en­vir­on­ment­al impact of our activ­it­ies to a minimum, and we are con­tinu­ously working to reach this goal. We have therefore taken measures to ensure resource-efficient pro­duc­tion and to reduce our carbon footprint. Also, we are working to implement the principle of the circular economy in various places and operate a com­pre­hens­ive energy and en­vir­on­ment­al man­age­ment system. Recent examples include the in­tro­duc­tion of carbon-neutral shipping within Germany or the pos­sib­il­ity for our customers to return their old clothes to our stores for recycling. Our strategic goals also include our will to continue improving in this area.

Society

A com­mit­ment to society is an element of corporate re­spons­ib­il­ity and also an important aspect of our strategy.

In addition to the issue of inclusion, aspects such as diversity, equality and the pro­tec­tion of women’s rights are of par­tic­u­lar concern to us. In this context, we have also started co­oper­a­tions, e.g. with Hessnatur Found­a­tion.

In addition, GERRY WEBER is in­tensi­fy­ing the co­oper­a­tion with or­gan­isa­tions promoting inclusion as well as equal op­por­tun­it­ies and diversity.

THE UNITED NATIONS SUS­TAIN­ABLE DE­VEL­OP­MENT GOALS (SDGs)

In 2015, the United Nations published the SDGs as part of the 2030 Agenda. They comprise a total of 17 goals with 169 as­so­ci­ated social, en­vir­on­ment­al and economic targets which are in­teg­rated and in­di­vis­ible. These 17 goals can be assigned to five areas of critical im­port­ance, the “5 Ps”: People, Planet, Prosper­ity, Peace, Part­ner­ship – to focus on the dignity and equality of humanity, to protect the climate and resources, to promote prosper­ity and peace for all and to build global part­ner­ships.

All countries (de­vel­op­ing countries, emerging countries, in­dus­tri­al­ised nations), civil societies and private sectors are called upon to address these issues, goals and targets. GERRY WEBER In­ter­na­tion­al lives up to this re­spons­ib­il­ity and has iden­ti­fied four goals to which we can and want to make an active con­tri­bu­tion. We have defined targets and measures whose degree of achieve­ment will be reviewed annually and adjusted if necessary.
