Ivanhoe and sustainability

At Ivanhoe, quality, craftsmanship, and long-term relationships are at the core. This shapes how we run our business and how we collaborate with suppliers and business partners. We require our partners to comply with our code of conduct, applicable legislation, and our standards for working conditions and safety. At the same time, we continuously work to strengthen and develop our sustainability efforts over time.

In 2025, over 85% of all the materials we purchased were certified according to either Bluesign® or OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. To further strengthen our sustainability efforts, we joined the Scandinavian Textile Initiative for Climate Action (STICA), an NGO-led platform for climate responsibility that supports companies in the clothing and textile industry in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in line with the Paris Agreement. As STICA signatories, we commit to:

  • Setting public, science-based climate targets
  • Developing climate transition plans
  • Measuring our total carbon footprint (Scope 1, 2, and 3)
  • Reporting our emissions annually

Our progress is published in a public annual STICA progress report.

The feeling of 100% wool is something we love.

In 2026, we will take the next step in our sustainability journey. We are currently finalizing our second climate report, setting our climate goals, and developing an overall roadmap for the future. Below is an overview of achieved milestones and upcoming tasks:
