Our Sustainability & Ethics Principles

OUR SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLE AND ETHICAL APPLICATION PROCESSES

As NU, we are aware of the impact of the application methods of the industry we belong to on our environment and our world. For this reason, we place a sustainable way of doing business at the center of all our applications. We continue to create high designs without compromising our quality and without compromising our commitment to our ethical principles. We constantly work to create new ways to reduce our carbon footprint and to reach zero waste levels in accordance with the transparent values we represent.

Our philosophy;

We believe that sustainability is based on longevity. We aim to create versatile, long-lasting and timeless garments that can be worn for different purposes and with different care, and that can be passed on to future generations.

Our supply partners;

We have established a carefully selected network of stakeholders, many of whom are family businesses and craftsmen with whom we have close relationships. For over 20 years, we have believed in the value that the respect and care we show to all our counterparts in our supply chain adds to our brand.

Logistics;

We carefully maintain the balance between local sourcing and innovative sourcing from external sources. We support our local community and local businesses. In the future, we aim to close the loop and create a true circular brand by creating a reverse logistics and waste management program together with our customers.

Textiles and Materials;

We go beyond just using stock textiles. We collaborate with partners who continue to recycle and create new biodegradable materials and textiles using cutting technology.

Animal rights;

We do not use leather, feathers or any materials that may harm animals or have been tested on animals at any stage of our production process.

Production;

We produce our garments using experimental pattern cutting and draping techniques developed by us that push the boundaries of construction, helping us reduce fabric and production waste.

Give back;

We strive to give back to our community and support causes we are passionate about. We work with young designers, small communities and family businesses to keep their craft and skills alive. We will certainly continue to support local talent, develop their skills and work with them.

Our future;

We work towards full traceability and transparency at every stage of our supply chain, from the point of origin to the final product. We complete most of our production in-house to fully comply with our customers' sensitivities regarding how and where our garments are made.

Our women,

We believe that the value created under the dominance of our women in all of our management, manufacturing and sales processes is one of the most important cornerstones of NU's success.
