Sustainability

  • Sustainability a firm part of the Group strategy

Sustainability is a firm part of the Group strategy

HUGO BOSS defines sustainability as the interplay of quality, innovation and responsibility and has integrated it as a firm part of its Group strategy. The Company thus acknowledges the economic, ecological and social impact of its actions and, at the same time, bases the success of its business on them. The guiding principle “we act responsibly” seeks to generate value for the Company, its employees, shareholders, customers, business partners and society. Customers expect high-quality products but also compliance with demanding social and environmental standards. By addressing these expectations on an equal footing, HUGO BOSS creates an essential basis for customer loyalty and innovative capacity.
