On Beyond Green, a panel focused on sustainable fashion, Gottex CEO, Ron Grundland remarked:
Five years ago we began to hear from several buyers that their customers wanted to see more sustainable initiatives, we immedately made changes with our suppliers, our development, hang tags, manufacturing and so much more. When we launched Gottex Au Naturale, we provided a solution to a fully sustainable line from Gottex and today we are proud to say all of our lines have implemented significant sustainability practices.”
