The ongoing climate crisis is the biggest and most important challenge humans face. Companies have been a part of the problem. Now is the time to be a part of the solution. At dbramante1928, we take that responsibility seriously.

Our goal is to achieve net-zero emissions no later than 2050. Reaching this ambitious target requires a holistic approach, embedding science-based sustainability policies into every aspect of our operations — from the materials we use to the energy we consume and how we distribute our products.

At every step of the way, we work to reduce our environmental impact while maintaining a commitment to never compromise on quality, functionality, and design. 

It is important to us that the efforts regarding sustainability make a difference. That’s why we always ensure that we employ the newest scientific knowledge around sustainability.

We have set ambitious targets to become net-zero by 2050 that has been approved by the international climate initiative, SBTi (Science Based Target initiative). 

Our work has also led to a gold medal from EcoVadis, the world's most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings.

As a part of the UN’s Global Compact - the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative - we have committed to adopting sustainable and socially responsible policies in correspondence with their ten principles around human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.

In line with WWF’s “No Plastic in Nature” initiative, we work to reduce plastic pollution by replacing single-use plastic products with products made from recovered and recycled plastic materials.

All our TPU cases, silicone cases, PET bags, chargers, cables and other plastic-based products are made with recycled and recyclable materials with no compromise on quality, functionality and design.

GRS-CERTIFIED RECYCLED PLASTIC

Our recycled plastic products are verified by GRS (Global Recycled Standard) – a voluntary product standard for tracking and verifying the content of recycled materials in a product. The GRS certification entails both a recycled content certification of the products themselves and a responsible social, environmental and chemical practices certification of their production.

Most of our leather goods are produced in our factory in Kolkata, India. 

Our leather factory is 5,000 m2 and is powered by green energy and solar cells placed on the roof. We can proudly say that our leather factory run on 100% renewable energy.

Additionally, our dedication to quality means working only with full-grain leather—the strongest and most durable type of leather. This choice not only extends the life cycle of our products but also ensures they age with grace.

We have a strict vendor code of conduct in place, where we demand transparency from our vendors and subcontractors. Within this code of conduct, we require audits conducted and improved via either the Amfori BSCI or the Sedex SMETA system. Both are social audit systems to assess our suppliers, monitor the health and safety of workers, and signal zero tolerance of human rights abuses such as child and forced labour. Once an audit is complete, our supplier businesses can work on addressing any potential issues found, based on a Corrective Action Plan system. This ensures that we can fulfil our mission to enable organisations to enhance human prosperity, use natural resources responsibly and drive open trade globally. As part of this mission, we are helping our vendors to work towards the fulfilment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Furthermore, it is a hard requirement that they are GRS-certified on all levels (factory, material, and production units) or have a full Scope Certificate accompanied by a Transaction Certificate, which means the company is eligible to process the certified products on their list and that the products are certified.

In addition, our manufacturer always uses hydropower when possible.
