Aquanova's dedication to sustainability and the 17 SDGs
At Aquanova, sustainability is a guiding principle that has been at the heart of our mission. Our commitment to conscious practices is aligned with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, serving as a global blueprint for peace, prosperity, and a sustainable future.
In the summer of 2023, we took a step forward on this journey. Aquanova joined a sustainability project initiated by the Belgium Chamber of Commerce, a move that emphasises our dedication to these global goals. Through this project, our objective is to make significant progress in reducing our environmental impact.
The target over the next 2-3 years is clear and ambitious: to realise our sustainability objectives and make a meaningful difference. This project is not just about meeting these targets but about setting a standard for ethical and responsible business practices. We believe that through our efforts, we can contribute to a more sustainable world, one step at a time.
Labels
Our GOTS label on towels and bath gowns is not just a badge, but a testament. As you wrap yourself in these textiles, you're not just feeling the plush touch of luxury but the embrace of organic fibers crafted under the rigorous benchmarks of the Global Organic Textile Standard. Here, nature's purity meets ethical responsibility.
Step onto our Alma bath mats, and you're treading on the very essence of organic authenticity. Endorsed by the Organic Content Standard (OCS), each mat is a commitment to 100% organic materials and a conscious choice that luxury can, indeed, coexist with sustainability.
Our textile narrative is further enriched by the Global Recycle Standard (GRS). As you explore our collection, certain pieces resonate with stories of recycling and conscious crafting, paying homage to a global drive to reuse and reduce.
Venturing beyond textiles, the whispers of forests find their way into our products. Our alignment with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is yet another environmental commitment we make. Even as we inch closer to earning our own FSC certification, our products crafted from our suppliers for certain products are already certified.
We proudly display the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 label on many of our products, ensuring they have been tested for harmful substances. This label guarantees that our textiles meet stringent human-ecological requirements, providing you with safe and comfortable products.
GOTS
Choosing the right linen means considering both quality and sustainability. In line with this, we are proud to introduce following towels, which are not only of premium quality but also certified by the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard).
Embodying simplicity at its finest, the Oslo towels go beyond being just stylish essentials. Made from the highest quality organic cotton, these towels are not only luxuriously soft and absorbent but also adhere to the rigorous standards set by GOTS, ensuring they are crafted with respect for both the planet and its people.
The Sava towels offer a unique blend of comfort and eco-consciousness. Like the Oslo collection, they too are a symbol of our dedication to sustainable and ethical practices, as reflected in their GOTS certification.
OCS
Every detail in your home should resonate with quality and responsibility. With this in mind, we present following bath mats, which are not just designed for supreme comfort, but also proudly bear the OCS (Organic Content Standard) certification, affirming our commitment to sustainable and ethical production.
These mats are more than just a soft spot to step on after a bath. Crafted from the finest organic materials, they not only provide a plush experience but also stand as a symbol of environmentally conscious choices. The OCS certification verifies the presence and amount of organic material in our products and ensures adherence to stringent production standards.
GRS
Every corner of your home should echo both luxury and responsibility. Beyond offering unparalleled comfort, these mats hold the GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certification, underscoring our unwavering dedication to both sustainable and principled manufacturing.
Thoroughly crafted from the most premium recycled materials, they not only elevate your experience but also signify a commitment to green choices. The GRS badge on our mats is a testament to the authenticity of the recycled materials we use and a guarantee of adherence to production norms.
The emblem of our Commitment: The London Towel Collection and beyond
Our London towel collection isn't just a product; it's a symbol of our broader commitment. Made entirely from sustainable cotton, it embodies our dedication to marrying luxury with responsibility. But our commitment doesn't stop there. Across our range, we have products that adhere to the highest standards of sustainability. To help our customers easily identify these sustainably-made products, we've introduced the Aquanova Green Label. This label is not just an indicator but a promise to our customers and the environment.
A holistic approach to materials
We believe in seeing the forest for the trees. Every material we choose, every product we design, is a result of comprehensive evaluation. We're not here to put a band-aid on isolated issues but to understand and address the broader challenges of sustainability. We are constantly on the lookout, researching, and implementing methods that not only meet but exceed global standards of environmental responsibility.
Elevating our practices to the public
Transparency and education are crucial. With the Aquanova Green Label, we aim to elevate our sustainable practices to the public, ensuring our customers are well-informed and can make choices that align with their values.
