Ci mettiamo in gioco con passione e coinvolgiamo le persone per creare un futuro migliore e più sostenibile.
Siamo orgogliosi dei nostri prodotti quando soddisfano almeno uno dei 3 pilastri dei nostri standard di progettazione globali. Inoltre, durante i processi di produzione, tutte le sostanze chimiche utilizzate devono essere controllate per verificare la conformità alla MRSL di ZDHC.
Il cotone menzionato nell'elenco dei nostri materiali preferiti comprende cotone coltivato secondo pratiche agricole avanzate, cotone riciclato proveniente da scarti post-consumo o post-industriali accertati o cotone certificato secondo criteri organici o di altro tipo. Come fibra complementare al cotone, utilizziamo fibre naturali tipo la canapa e il lino. Utilizziamo anche fibre sintetiche basate su polpa di legno naturale, come il lyocell e il modal, che vengono prodotte con una quantità inferiore di acqua ed energia rispetto al cotone tradizionale.

I risparmi devono essere verificati da una terza parte indipendente attraverso il nostro programma Indigood®. Scopri di più sul nostro programma di risparmio di acqua dolce Indigood.
LEARN MOREQuesto strumento valuta le aree relative ad acqua, energia, sostanze chimiche e salute dei lavoratori e calcola un "punteggio di impatto" complessivo. Per soddisfare il nostro standard For a World That WorksTM per le finiture a basso impatto, i prodotti devono essere trattati mediante tecniche di finitura sostenibili che abbiano ottenuto un "basso punteggio di impatto".
While Lee’s material footprint includes very few animal-derived materials, we believe in treating animals with care and respect and actively promote and pursue further development and use of viable commercial substitutes to animal-derived materials.

We are committed to the responsible use of forest-derived materials. Lee prioritizes the use of certified-sustainable sources, with a preference for Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified materials. We also actively reduce virgin material use and increase materials with recycled content, with a priority to include both post-consumer recycled materials and innovative solutions including alternative fiber sources such as agriculture residues.

To ensure social responsibility and environmental sustainability within our complex supply chain, we expect our contract supplier factories to comply with our Terms of Engagement and our Global Compliance Principles , which are regularly audited by our internal and third-party auditors. These Principles are brought to life through our Factory Facility Guidelines and Factory Audit Procedures. Our goal is for every supplier factory to operate with the same high standards as our owned manufacturing facilities.

Jacron is vegan leather alternative made from cellulose and is used as a substitute for leather patches on some of our jeans.
The newest way to mimic a lived-in look, lasers can be used to create whiskers, holes, or patterns. The advanced process digitizes design and development, easily distressing a pair of Lee jeans in a few minutes.
Cotton certified to have been grown from non-genetically modified seeds, with minimal fertilizers and pesticides such as GOTS certified, OCS certified cotton.
Regenerative cotton uses farming practises that help to keep the land fertile, restore biodiversity and add carbon to the soil while aiming to secure the wealth of those who live on it.
Cotton from validated sources of postindustrial or post-consumer. Recycled cotton prevents additional textile waste and requires fewer resources than virgin cotton.
Nylon made from recycled materials, which may include fabric scraps, fishing nets, or old clothes
Polyester made from recycled materials.
Our owned and operated facilities will be powered by 100% renewable energy by 2025. Through our parent company, Kontoor Brands, we are in the process of establishing a Science Based Target.
Restricted Substance List: Lee requires our suppliers and business partners to certify their compliance to our Restricted Substance List (RSL). The RSL is an integral part of quality and Manufacturing Control Programs in chemical management. Read our RSL here.
ZDHC MRSL – Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals Manufacturing Restricted Substances List is a list of chemical substances banned from intentional use in the processing of textile materials, leather, rubber, foam, adhesives and trims used in textiles, apparel, and footwear industry. Intentional use means the substance used deliberately in a chemical product to achieve a desired look or functionality.
