The longest journeys begin with a single step.

To us at Craft Sportswear, sustainability is a never-ending commitment. Even though we have created clear and ambitious goals for where we want to be in 2030, our Circle initiative does not have a finish line.

Showing our true colors.

So when it comes to how we communicate, our philosophy is to be transparent regarding the challenges we face and the progress we make. Helping consumers make conscious choices is a good thing, as it will most likely have a positive effect on the demand for products with a lower climate footprint. This means avoiding unfounded claims, which is the purpose of the coming Green Claims Directive, expected to pass into legislation by the EU in 2024. Among other issues, the GCD aims to reduce the use of eco-labels not backed by certifications and third-party verification, instead promoting standards that make it easier to track and compare the climate cost of the product.

Sustainability is a never- ending commitment.

Even though we have created clear and ambitious goals for where we want to be in 2030, our Circle initiative does not have a finish line. In 2023, a large part of our efforts was concentrated on creating the framework for future progress. Our stated goal is to consolidate the number of suppliers we collaborate with, to create fewer but deeper connections with partners who share our dedication to lasting change. In addition to this, we see the need for minimizing the number of fabrics used in our collections, and to promote materials with a smaller environmental footprint.

We understand the world and need to act with transparency for a better future.

Circular choices for all athletes.

Our products are designed for the long term, and from 2023 we are working to introduce more ways to extend their lifecycles. For example, through circular business models that allow our customers to rent functionality when they need it, or by allowing athletes to pass on their loyal training buddies when they reach the next level.

Connecting the dots from design to delivery. Our products are meant to inspire athletes to keep going, no matter the season. So to us, a more sustainable garment is one that is tirelessly functional day after day, year after year.

01 – Purpose

An active world is a healthy one. But according to the WHO, almost 1.4 billion people, or 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men, are not active enough to stay healthy. In other words, fighting inactivity is key when it comes to preventing health issues and a lower quality of life for a large number of the world’s population.
