Sustainability Practices

Pangaia is committed to designing an Earth-positive business model that is better for the planet. It makes more sustainable choices towards building a better future, both at work and at home.

Pangaia uses organic and recycled materials that consider the delicate balance between sustainability, functionality, and purpose. It creates everyday essentials and innovates a better tomorrow.

Pangaia only uses a high proportion of organic materials such as organic cotton and hemp or recycled materials such as recycled polyester and regenerated nylon.

Pangaia also uses a small amount of semi-synthetic fibers or regenerated cellulosic fabrics such as Tencel lyocell, modal, acetate, and viscose. Tencel is an eco-friendly fiber made with wood pulp from certified sustainable forests.

Pangaia publishes a list of all its manufacturers on its corporate website, Pangaia.com. It aims to develop a global multi-layered supply chain of long-term business partners.

The clothing retailer carries out a proportion of its production in Turkey, a country that is considered high-risk in clothing manufacturing. It's currently developing a plan of work to ensure social compliance through third-party audits.

Pangaia has a Code of Conduct that applies to all its suppliers and subcontractors to ensure that all of its partners uphold a consistent set of policies and certifications.

Pangaia doesn't use exotic animal skin, hair, fur, or angora. But it uses leather, wool, silk, and down feathers to manufacture many of its clothing pieces.

These animal-derived materials are cruel and unethical. They also harm the environment by producing greenhouse gases and wastes. More sustainable alternatives exist.

Sustainability Goals

Pangaia has a long-term goal that is for the business to be Earth Positive, where it gives back more than it takes from the planet. It accurately measures its environmental footprint and understands its current impact.

Pangaia has committed to reducing its environmental impact across the entire supply chain. It currently offsets some of its emissions and plans to expand its circular business models.

Pangaia continues to improve its energy and resource efficiency to reduce associated greenhouse gas emissions. It wants to minimize resource consumption, eliminate waste and extend the life of its products.
