DRYKORN IS STILL NOT
SUSTAINABLE ENOUGH

DRYKORN WE MIND

We strive for perfection because we love our products. But let's be honest: balancing economic reality, social responsibility and environmental impact is a challenge we have not solved. Some of what follows is progress we can prove. Some of it is a list of what we still owe. Both are on this page.

OUR APPROACH

A garment starts as a decision. Which yarn, which pattern, which finish is chosen. That part is craft, and it is the part we know best. The rest of what a garment is - the conditions it was made under, the emissions it caused, the resources it consumed - is harder to see and harder to answer for. We work across three fields of action.

PEOPLE

Human rights due diligence sounds like paperwork, and part of it is: risk analyses, contractual requirements, social audits. The other part is direct: supplier visits & personal exchange. The binding basis is our SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT and the DRYKORN POLICY: HUMAN RIGHTS, published in 2025. Find out about our social compliance management here.

PLANET

We did the maths on where our emissions actually sit. Almost all of them, 99 % to be precise, are in our Supply Chain in Scope 3. Our own operations are the part we have under control. Scope 3, that’s a more challenging topic. Find out why here.

PRODUCT

In FY 2024/25, 78 % of our revenue came from products made of natural fibres, animal materials or regenerated fibres, and 22 % from synthetic fibres of fossil origin. Learn more about our products here.

Where we produce

Europe and Türkiye have always been our priority, and they remain it. Measured by revenue in FY 2024/25, 69 % of our garments were produced in Europe and Türkiye, 26 % in Asia – mainly fine knit and jersey, where we work with experts in the field – and 5 % in Tunisia, North Africa, where one of our denim suppliers is based. Compared with the previous year, 8 percentage points of that revenue shifted from Europe and Türkiye to Asia and North Africa. No strategic realignment, just market dynamics.

Let's talk about people and actions.

Real humans make our garments. Be it in our company or throughout the supply chain. None of this would work without them: BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.

Let's talk about Product.

Our product is at the heart of our brand. We define quality beyond the directly noticeable properties like cut and fit, seams or trims. Less visible factors like product safety are a crucial part of it, too.
