2018The Responsibility Commitments

In 2018, Norrøna reached an important milestone in its sustainability journey by earning a place on the leaderboards of both the 100% Club of Organic Cotton and the 100% Club of Preferred Down, recognizing the company’s commitment to sourcing more responsible materials.

That same year, Norrøna joined Fashion for Good, a global initiative dedicated to accelerating innovation and sustainability within the apparel industry.

Together, these achievements reflected the company’s growing determination to make responsibility a driving force in product development and business decisions – further strengthening the fourth pillar of the Norrøna philosophy.
