Montane will now be able to identify which fabrics and trims are bluesign® APPROVED, while the brand also works to highlight products that qualify as bluesign® PRODUCTS to provide further clarity on an item’s sourcing background.
Speaking on the announcement, Montane’s Marketing Director, Matthew Hickman, commented: “At Montane we are committed to reducing our environmental impact by making responsible and ethical choices, and place great importance on the transparency of our supply chain.
“Achieving bluesign® System Partner status means we can be confident that no harmful substances are being used in our production processes. This is the latest step in our ongoing journey to lessen our environmental impact and create a brighter and more responsible future for generations to come, as we encourage everyone to go Further.
