SUSTAINABLE 
COTTON

Denim Privé supports responsible cotton production by sourcing minimally impactful cotton when using virgin cotton. This means respecting the farmer, the land, and the cotton. Denim Privé sourced 83% of their natural fibres from BCI farmers.

RECYCLES 
COTTON

Recycled cotton decreases the use of virgin cotton and therefore has less associated environmental impacts. About 157,745 metres of recycled cotton were used in Denim Privé denim in 2022.

Compared to prior years, Denim Privé’s Higg score increased from 75% to 84% in 2022.

In 2022, production chemicals were above 80% compliant with Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) and 100% compliant with Inditex GTW protocol.

Denim Privé received a Screened Chemistry score of 16% in 2022. Its score was not tracked before 2022 due to the scope of the previous version of ZDHC.

Denim Privé aims to achieve HIGG chemical level 3 and to participate in ZDHC’s Supplier to Zero program. Validating test reports and product stewardship will lead Denim Privé to the highest level, level 3.
