CSR

At Matterhorn we pride ourselves in selling products that are manufactured under acceptable working conditions.
We do not own or run our own factories, our products are made by manufacturors,largely in China, with whom we have had a long-run-
ning working relationship.We insist that our partners commit to following our ethical code.

In many countries where manufacturing costs are low, there is a risk that sustainability and ethical sourcing of raw material take a back-
seat. Not so for us! We consider these questions to be of the highest priority.

For Matterhorn it is important to contribute to sustainable development by taking social and environmental responsibility, which de-
mands high standards from all of our suppliers!

Matterhorn is a member of amfori BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative),a European initiative that unites hundreds of companies
in a common behavioural code.
Amfori BSCI:’s primary mission is to support this network in their goal to create sustainable and ethical supply-chains.
As a member of BSCI , Matterhorn is commited to following BSCI’s code of conduct.
All BSCI members work together to ensure that the demands and improvements are met by suppliers who,in their turn, also follow BSCI’s
code of conduct.

As a customer, you will not find a jacket or garment with a BSCI logo, however, all companies that work to BSCI’s standards are pledged
to upholding all the networks commitments.

Environment

For us at Matterhorn quality is more than just a good jacket or fleece. Quality for us is as much about the team that makes our
products working under safe, fair,legal and humane conditions. It’s about continually searching for new environmentally friendly
materials, energy-saving production methods and possibilities to improve our world through our daily work!

Everything we do impacts nature around us and everone who lives there. We are convinced that we can continue to do what we are
doing today, but in an improved way. We have many exciting opportunities, huge challenges and unending work ahead of us. For
example, in 2015/16 we started to impregnate our garments with PFC-free waterproofing. And now we are launching our fleece
made from totally recycled materials including, amongst other things , old PET bottles.

Bionic-Finish Eco is a water-resistant coating that we have been using on our shell and
wet-weather clothing since the autumn of 2016.
It is fluoro-carbon, formaldehyd and parafin free, substances that are used in more
conventional production.
Fluoro-carbons have revealed themselves to be disruptive to hormone production. Bio-
nic-Finish Eco is totally free from these substances.
