Sustainable Design

Products Built to Last STORMTECH creates timeless, high-quality products designed to extend product life and minimize environmental impact. We back up our commitment to quality workmanship with a 5 year warranty, and have built out a sustainable product care program to extend product life and performance.

Responsible Sourcing STORMTECH is firmly committed to selling products that are manufactured under legal, safe and fair working conditions in factories where employees are treated fairly. Our Ethical Sourcing Policy is designed to ensure that our global sourcing supply chain operates in compliance with all applicable laws governing child labor, forced labor, wages, benefits, working hours, harassment, health and safety & factory security.

Increased use of Sustainable Materials Sourcing recycled and sustainable materials for products is a top priority in our daily business operations and product development. This dedication to sustainable practices is reflected in every new product we develop. Our focus on recycled content ensures that our garments not only meet high-quality standards but also contribute to a more environmentally conscious industry.

Protecting Our Oceans STORMTECH is committed to the reduction of fiber fragmentation from textiles into the natural environment by 2030, and the reduction of microfibers and microplastics contributing to water pollution. Implementing stronger, low-shedding polyester fleece standards can significantly reduce the amount of microfibers and microplastic contributing to ocean pollution.

Protecting Our Forests STORMTECH is committed to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) of sustainable sourcing of wood-based fibers, cellulosic fabrics, and paper products in a way that addresses the major environmental impacts associated with deforestation and forests degradation. All hang tags, cartons, and packaging are sourced from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified forest, recycled content, or other controlled wood sources.

Prioritizing Animal Welfare

All STORMTECH products are feather-free and fur-free. Our Animal Derived Materials policy further outlines the restrictions on use of materials sourced from endangered animal habitats. Our guiding principles are the five freedoms of animal welfare as underlined by the World Organization for Animal Health https://www.oie.int/animal-welfare/

STORMTECH is committed to reducing the environmental impact of our operations. We encourage our business partners to comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations in the country of operation and encourage our whole supply chain to reduce the use of natural resources, to re-use where feasible, and to recycle whenever is possible.

Since Spring 2022 all products are packaged with sustainable materials including Oxo biodegradable bags and FSC® certified cartons. All hang tags and packaging materials are also produced using recycled biodegradable inputs.
