We partner with the textile industry to reduce adverse impact across the value chain

For the last 25 years, bluesign has been working with the entire textile value chain to reduce the adverse impact of the textile industry on people and the planet. We are proud to publish that for the fifth consecutive year, bluesign System Partner manufacturers have reduced the intensity of their environmental footprint across KPIs: CO2 emissions, energy consumption and fresh water use, with an increased use of renewable energy and bluesign® APPROVED chemicals.

These results emphasize the dedication and hard work of our system partners in moving sustainability forward in the textile industry, providing tangible proof of the effectiveness of the bluesign System and its focus on “continuous improvement beyond certification”.

“Together with our bluesign System Partner brands, we are on a transformative journey.

Against the backdrop of the urgency of the climate crisis but also economic and political instability, focusing on where one can have the most impact on sustainability is essential, and primary data and information to that end is necessary.

bluesign is the gold standard in the market for exactly that. The assessments and improvement roadmaps we offer to textile manufacturers, chemical suppliers and fashion brands who are part of our network enable sustainability, safety and integrity across the textile value chain.

Additionally, transparency and accountability in the industry are more important than ever with the increase in regulatory requirements across the European Union and more globally, but equally in the face of changing consumer expectations towards more sustainable purchases.

25 years ago, bluesign was born out of a bold idea, that sustainability could be embedded into the DNA of product creation. Twenty-five years later, we are proud to be a beacon of trust, innovation, and responsibility, and to partner with industry leaders worldwide in building a more sustainable future together.”

“Celebrating our 25th anniversary in 2025, bluesign is committed to advancing our legacy with renewed ambition. Our global team is driving a digital strategy that meets evolving market demands, featuring a refreshed brand, expanded outreach in fashion, denim, and footwear, and innovative services for complex regulatory environments.

Our mission remains to reduce adverse environmental impact by controlling material inputs from the start of textile production. This principle remains the cornerstone of our approach. Despite current political, economic and legislative uncertainties, the environmental crisis demands urgent action.

With over two decades of experience and expertise, our work alongside long-standing system partners and new collaborators is more relevant than ever. We remain deeply committed to enabling a more sustainable industry, and look forward to advancing this vision together.”
