At Life.Pep.Vigor. (LPV), we are committed to delivering more than just high-quality apparel and accessories; we strive to infuse sustainability into the very fabric of our operations. Rooted in our ethos of resilience and exploration of nature, our brand seeks not only to outfit adventurers but also to protect the lands they cherish. A significant part of this commitment is our dedication to sourcing from sustainable suppliers who meet strict certification standards.
Why Sustainability Matters to LPV
When LPV was conceptualized, we knew that our brand needed to reflect not only the adventurous spirit of our customers but also the values they hold dear. Serene natural settings form the heart of our inspiration, and it is imperative that we do our part to preserve these environments for generations to come. Sustainability isn't just a buzzword for us; it's a core pillar of our mission.
The Importance of Certified Suppliers
Sourcing materials that are sustainably produced is essential in minimizing the environmental footprint of our products. At LPV, we go the extra mile by choosing suppliers who are certified by internationally recognized organizations. These certifications guarantee that the raw materials we use—from organic cotton to recycled polyester—adhere to rigorous environmental and ethical standards.
Our Supplier Standards
We partner with suppliers who hold certifications such as:
- **Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)**: This ensures that textiles are made from organic fibers and processed in a socially responsible and environmentally friendly manner.
- **Fair Trade Certification**: This certification ensures that the workers involved in the production process are treated fairly and paid a living wage, fostering positive social impact.
- **OEKO-TEX® Standard 100**: This standard certifies that our fabrics are tested for harmful substances, ensuring safe textiles that pose no risk to health.
- **Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) and Global Recycled Standard (GRS)**: These standards help us incorporate recycled materials into our products, promoting circular fashion and reducing waste.
Challenges and Commitment
The journey to sustainability is not without its challenges. Certified suppliers often come at a premium, and maintaining thorough oversight can be complex. However, we believe these are essential investments in our long-term vision. Transparency is also key, which is why we continually strive to share updates and information about our supply chain practices with our community.
Future Goals for LPV
Looking forward, we aim to deepen our partnerships with innovative suppliers and integrate new sustainable materials into our collections. We also plan to explore more localized sourcing options to further reduce our carbon footprint and support regional economies.
