Our sustainability vision is rooted in our values, which serve as our internal compass, guiding every decision we make. They remind us to focus on what truly drives our brand: designing clothes for people who want to step into a world of colour and beautiful chaos, inspiring them to stay curious, original and positive.

We celebrate life.

We are uncompromising about our integrity.

We are our authentic selves, always.

We stay alert.

We encourage wild ideas.

We see change for the growth opportunity it brings.

We trust our gut feeling and emotions.

We learn by doing.

Alongside our own core values we are also guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This internationally recognised framework sets out 17 goals for sustainable development by 2030, divided into the themes of People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnerships. We have determined four strategic priorities for Essentiel Antwerp – areas where we want to make significant changes, both in the short and long term. These four priorities translate the Sustainable Development Goals into Essentiel Antwerp’s business context and provide a roadmap for our future.

— SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure)

— SDG 13 (Climate Action)

— SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality)

—SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions)
