Who we are
Vision and Objectives
The manufacturing of clothing has an impact on our planet. Similarly, our business operations leave a footprint, affecting both human beings and animals. To minimize our footprint, we have implemented a comprehensive CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) policy. Furthermore, we strive to make an even more positive contribution to our environment through the BE THE PLANET Foundation, with a specific focus on People, Planet, and Animals.
People
Promoting and ensuring gender equality is an integral part of The Sting Companies operations. Therefore, it is also a key focus of the foundation, along with our commitment to advancing women’s rights in the countries where our production takes place.
Planet
As a company and as employees of The Sting Companies, we acknowledge our environmental impact, which is why we consider it crucial to raise awareness that every individual can contribute to a better planet. Through tangible projects, we strive to address issues such as water pollution and work towards minimizing or filtering our CO2 emissions.
Animals
The initiatives under the Animals pillar primarily center on raising awareness about endangered species.
