ORTOVOX BRAND'S COMMITMENT TO CITIZENSHIP AND ECO-RESPONSIBILITY

Ortovox works with farms that meet high quality expectations and follow the requirements of the OWP standard. Since 2011 Ortovox uses Swiss wool as filling material for its products. Swisswool products are characterized by their regional origin, short transport routes and 100% European production which reduces its environmental impact. The transparency of the wool's origin is fundamental and allows us to stay in touch with those who supply this material so precious to Ortovox.



PROTECTION OF SHEEP

Animal welfare, and particularly the welfare of sheep, guides the actions of ORTOVOX, which positions itself as a wool expert. This is why ORTOVOX developed a "demanding wool" standard in 2017. The ORTOVOX WOOL PROMISE (OWP) imposes the highest standards of animal welfare and sustainability.

OBJECTIVE 100% OWP BY 2024


ORTOVOX PROTECTS PEOPLE

ORTOVOX makes it a priority to have fair relationships with its employees, customers and partners. The company's commitment to fair working conditions was rewarded in 2018 with the LEADERSHIP STATUS of the FAIR WEAR FOUNDATION, the highest distinction of the FWF.
