We know there isn’t one, perfect route to sustainability, but with each iteration of our products we try to do better.

OUR FACTORY

ETHICAL MANUFACTURING

Sustainability is our foundation, from materials to manufacturing. Working meticulously with our production team on every silhouette from development to production, we ensure every item delivers as promised. Worker comfort within sustainable surroundings has been the inspiration behind the architecture. Rainwater is recovered and recycled onsite, used to grow fruits and vegetables right on site. We continue to source as many raw materials locally as the country’s capabilities flourish.

We are members of BSCI and SEDEX with ongoing audits of our factory to ensure sustainable, ethical, and safe work practices.

OUR GIVING

OUT OF THE WOODS® GIVES BACK

Even though our products are FSC®-certified (FSC® C153080), meaning they come from responsibly managed forests, we want to support the replenishment of Mother Earth’s greatest tool in mitigating the effects of climate change – Trees. As a proud 1% For the Planet member, we donated our 1% last year to the National Forest Foundation. The NFF has a goal of planting 50 million trees by 2025. The importance of reforestation goes beyond removing carbon from our atmosphere, it supports biodiversity and healthy ecosystems as well as creating resilience towards the effects of climate change like forest fires and other natural disasters.

Thanks to our partnership with Greenspark, your earth-friendly purchase of an Out of the Woods® bag translates to even more real life impact. We’re now planting trees where they are needed most, in collaboration with UN-affiliated organizations that empower communities facing climate challenges. Every Out of the Woods® order and review now directly plants trees through the EarthLungs reforestation project in Kenya. EarthLungs empowers coastal communities through fair work and wages by restoring mangrove ecosystems, crucial to employment, livelihood and nutrition.
