HOW WE WORK
Sustainability and Ethos
SportsPro, who exclusively hold the rights to hummel in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, utilises the hummel brand to deliver quality garments and products with an iconic and internally recognised brand.
We believe with our support, not just on the field but also off it, we can engage with the community of our Professional clubs to grow both brands.
The game never ends. And we want to be the best.
But we’re far from done, far from satisfied. We follow hummels brand ethos, and like hummel, we want to CHANGE THE WORLD THROUGH SPORT. And we believe this also entails fighting for a more sustainable future. Every. Single. Day. That’s why we’re constantly launching new projects to follow the same path and direction of the hummel international brand:
But over the past few years, we have been working on initiatives to strengthen our game plan:
PFCs: PFCs are difficult to break down in nature. And they can even be harmful to humans. That’s why we have used the 100% fluoride-free BIONIC FINISH ECO since 2017. And that’s great news for durability, the environment, and your skin.
WATER: In 2019, we introduced the ZEROH2O dyeing concept to our British football teams. And it has reduced energy use by 50%, with water consumption and water wastage down to almost zero.
ACCOUNTABILITY: Over 50% of all our hummel KIDS products proudly carry the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX mark. This is the world’s leading health and environmental label for textiles, raw materials, and intermediary products.
PLASTIC: We are always thinking about reducing the amount of plastic we use in all production stages. We have banned all single-use plastic packaging. We’re also producing both clothing and footwear made from recycled plastic bottles. From 2022, 100% of our plastic packaging will be made with polyurethane (PU).
COTTON: Since 2019, all our HIVE collections have been made from recycled polyester or organic cotton. To top this off, our KIDS AW21 collection is crafted from at least 93% organic cotton.
At SportsPro, our factory staff’s welfare, pay and education are paramount and regular audits and visits take place to ensure all standards are met and exceeded. We have a ZERO tolerance policy for non-compliance on this matter.
