How sustainable is Triangle?

Tri­an­g­le is a casu­al fas­hi­on brand that is owned by the S.Oliver Group, a Ger­man fas­hi­on com­pa­ny with a num­ber of brands.

The group has some ini­ti­a­ti­ves to redu­ce its car­bon foot­print, like off­set­ting some of its ship­ping impact and using bet­ter finis­hing tech­ni­ques for its denim pro­duc­ti­on, but doesn’t track and publish its car­bon foot­print and doesn’t offer enough transpa­ren­cy into its sup­ply chain.

The com­pa­ny is main­ly focu­sing on impro­ving its mate­ri­al sour­cing. It wants to achie­ve 100% more sustai­na­ble cot­ton by 2030 and aims to increa­se that per­cen­ta­ge through its part­ner­ships with the Bet­ter Cot­ton Ini­ti­a­ti­ve and Cot­ton Made in Afri­ca. The last known per­cen­ta­ge of more sustai­na­ble cot­ton was only 5%, and the tar­get for 2020 is set at 15%. The com­pa­ny is mohair-free sin­ce 2020, but still uses ani­mal-deri­ved mate­ri­als, like wool and lea­ther, from uncer­ti­fied sour­ces.

S.Oliver Group has a Code of Con­duct and is a mem­ber of the Fair Labor Asso­ci­a­ti­on, which con­ducts inde­pen­dent audits, but doesn’t report on the audit fre­quen­cy or results and doesn’t pro­vi­de enough transpa­ren­cy con­cerning labor rights.
