Our main objective is to minimise the impact of our operations on the environment and the natural resources we consume.

We understand that our workforce is fundamental to achieving our business goals and we are fully committed to ensuring that the safety, human rights and wellbeing of our employees are all respected. To achieve this, we have developed a new initiative with clearly defined short and long-term sustainability objectives.

We call this initiative CLS BRANDS - SUSTAINABILITY. We created a logo so that our clients know when an action has sustainability as its main objective.

We believe in a long-term approach to business and in continuously reducing the impact we have on our planet.

CLS Brands being a supplier of personal protective equipment (PPE), wishes to be a market leader in safety and sustainability, starting with supply and ending with partnerships and distributors. 

In addition, our product offering will help our customers improve their safety performance, thus protecting their employees in a more environmentally friendly way.

We selected and decided to focus on a few points this 2022 following the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the ESG Agenda.

REACH is a European Union regulation adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that may result from chemicals, while helping to strengthen the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry. It also promotes alternative methods for assessing the hazards of substances with a view to reducing the number of animal tests. 

Nitrile Gloves are LATEX FREE, being better than those of LATEX when it comes to avoiding allergic reactions when using them. O LATEX contains natural rubber proteins which can cause an allergic reaction when used, whereas nitrile does not.

Nitrile is a stronger and higher quality glove compared to LATEX .

The Future is Laughable and we have developed a range of eco-friendly and recyclable products, including Footwear and Gloves of the brand Forwalk and Glova respectively.

The production process and the use of recycled materials represent an environmental benefit by reducing the carbon footprint and plastic waste that can contaminate the environment

We have some regulations applied to multiple own-brand products and various actions:

ISO 14001 is applicable to any type of organisation whose objective is to obtain a correct environmental performance, it aims at guiding the implementation of environmental management systems in organisations aiming at their conformity with the reality of the undertaking. 

SA 8000 is an international certification standard that encourages organisations to develop, maintain and apply socially acceptable practices in the workplace.

CLS Brands is committed to reducing the impact of its daily operations on the environment with carbon footprint analysis, complying with the ISO 14067.

CLS Brands, contributes financially to the Sociedade Ponto Verde, Sociedade Ponto Verde's customers can use the Green Dot symbol on their packaging. This symbol has a very simple message, to selectively collect, valorise and recycle all our used packaging, making our packaging part of a practically infinite sustainability cycle where we all have a fundamental role to play.
