Our Sustainability Progress Report
Where we stand today and what we're still working on. An honest look at our supply chain, climate, materials, and the people we work with.
Social responsibility
Find out more about how we approach working conditions in our supply chain – from our Code of Conduct and the way we work with our production partners to our collaboration with the Fair Wear Foundation report.
Environment & Resources
On this page, you'll find out how we at OCEANSAPART calculate our CO₂ emissions and track the energy use across our production – and what we learn from it.
Raw Materials & Products
On this page, you'll find out which materials we use at OCEANSAPART, the standards we choose them by and how we keep developing our materials step by step.

We don't see ourselves as a sustainable company – because like any company that makes products, we use resources and cause emissions.
That's why, for us, sustainability isn't a label or a state you reach once and for all – it's a path we move along, step by step.
What that means in practice: we take a close look at our everyday operations and try to improve things wherever we have direct influence. Not perfect, but continuous.
A few examples from our offices:
🌏 Environment
- 100% electricity from renewable energy sources
- Lots of small measures we're gradually building into our daily routine: less paper thanks to digital solutions, working waste separation, timer switches for lights, and reduced use of hygiene and consumable materials through new dispensers, plus kitchen and toilet paper from Goldeimer
💛 Community
- Support for mental health in partnership with Nilo Health
- Flexible working models such as remote work, and three offices where furry friends are welcome too
- A working environment that accounts for different needs – including accessible spaces and gender-neutral bathrooms at our Mannheim office
But responsibility doesn't stop at the office for us. Along our supply chain, we also address social and environmental impacts systematically. We keep developing our materials strategy and regularly check where using recycled materials is technically possible and feasible.
We're also a member of the Fair Wear Foundation and systematically analyse our supply chain and the working conditions at our production partners. Once a year, Fair Wear's Brand Performance Check assesses how we monitor and improve working conditions in our supply chain. This isn't proof of fair conditions – perfection doesn't exist in global supply chains – but it does help us refine our processes step by step.

There's no simple yes-or-no answer here. Fair working conditions aren't a state you reach once and for all – they're an ongoing process. So what does "fair" mean to us? For example, clear rules on working hours, wages, workplace safety and co-determination – things that play a concrete role in everyday working life.
We work with selected production partners and define social and ethical requirements for our collaboration. We're in regular exchange with our partners and continuously develop our internal sourcing processes.
OCEANSAPART has been a member of the Fair Wear Foundation since 2025. It helps us spot risks in the supply chain early and derive the right measures from them – looking at both the country and the factory level. Once a year, Fair Wear's Brand Performance Check assesses, among other things, how thoroughly we identify these risks and turn them into action. This isn't proof of fair conditions, but rather a reason to sharpen our processes further every year.
We also draw on external audits – for instance through amfori BSCI or comparable standards – to better understand risks and target improvements more effectively.
Global supply chains are complex. Claiming perfect conditions wouldn't be honest. What matters to us is to keep looking closely, stay transparent, and keep working on our processes step by step.

For us, sustainability isn't a state you reach once and for all, but an ongoing process. Right now, our focus is on creating more transparency in our supply chain and continuing to build out our internal processes.
In concrete terms, that means: we systematically analyse working conditions, materials and environmental impacts in order to derive our next steps from them. In doing so, we collaborate with the Fair Wear Foundation and additionally draw on external audits, for example through amfori BSCI or comparable standards.
We know this process takes time. That's why it's important to us to stay attentive, keep learning, and act responsibly along the supply chain.
