SUSTAINABILITY
The world is dying. We see it all around us. Rising temperatures. Melting ice caps. Plastic oceans. Extreme weather. Droughts. Floods. Fires. Extinction.We can no longer dispute this fact, nor the sad reality that we humans are responsible. So yes, our earth is dying, but it’s not dead yet. And it’s our responsibility to revive it.
At International Colours, we focus on being enduring, on curating lasting, timeless designs that are inherently superior to the fading fads of fast-food culture. Permanence is in our DNA. So, when we reflected on how to contribute to our planet’s future, we looked inward and decided to apply our intrinsic ethos to a sustainable vision.
We believe in creating lasting value beyond the physical world, preserving culture, traditions, and shared prosperity. Guided by a forward-looking philosophy, our company culture embraces design, evolution, and a commitment to shaping a better tomorrow—a mindset and attitude rooted in the idea of ‘forever.
We don’t believe that nothing lasts forever. While the physical world shifts, changes, and decays, the values, traditions, and ideas that give it meaning—our culture, customs, and shared prosperity—are carried across generations. Looking ahead, we are creating a philosophy and code of conduct that reflects both the present and the future. Devoted to design and innovation, we aim to imagine a better tomorrow and play our part in shaping it. Our company culture is a spirit, a mentality, and an attitude that evolves with us, but is always guided by what we stand for: forever.
STEPS WE ARE TAKING
Most of the goods we produce are leather-based. This won’t change, but we are more mindful of how to do this differently.
- The product lining for a number of our ranges is produced from recycled bottles and approved by the Global Recycle Standard.
- To date we have diverted over 1 000 000 plastic bottles from both landfill and oceans.
- We have removed excess plastic packaging from all our products.
Together, we can create a cleaner and greener world.
We have committed to this approach because earth is our only home, and right now it’s falling apart. It’s a home that has provided us with countless experiences and untold adventures. It’s unbelievably breathtaking, boundless and surprising, the perfect playground in which to enjoy our products. And once we’re gone, when our children are its custodians, we want them to love it as much.
It’s quite simple: we want it to last forever.
