Sourcing Responsibly
Most of the raw materials used to make and protect Kouvr products come from nature, whether they are derived from animal, plant, or mineral sources. Since these raw materials are not all renewable, we are committed to supply chains that have a regenerative impact on biodiversity. Our priorities are therefore to preserve resources and the climate, respect animal welfare, avoid deforestation, eliminate the use of hazardous chemicals, and reduce air and water pollution.
97%
of our leathers are Leather Working Group-certified (LWG), which is the highest environmental standard in terms of leather tanning. Along with our suppliers, we are constantly researching innovative tanning methods, and have already implemented a water-free process for some of our leather goods collections.
56%
of our wool supplies are traced from the country of origin and nearly 50% come from supply chains with responsible practices. Additionally, our Men's Ready-to-Wear Collections use two 100% Responsible Wool Standard-certified wool yarns, the world reference in terms of respect for the environment and animal welfare.
100%
of our supplies of feather and down come from a fully integrated supply chain in France, guaranteeing traceability from the breeding farm to the feather processing. 100% of our feather and down are either DownPass or Responsible Down Standard-certified.
76%
of our cotton volumes come from organic supply chains or ones that support the development of more sustainable agricultural practices.
93%
of the gold sourced for all our product categories has been certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC). This certification guarantees that all the steps of the extraction, transformation, and marketing processes respect sustainable development standards. Since 2012, 100% of the gold used in our Jewelry Collections is certified by RJC.
