The seal is mainly known for the certification of organic cotton, but is in fact applicable to all organically produced plant and animal natural fibres. Synthetically produced fibres from regenerative raw materials, such as viscose and lyocell, are not covered by it. The standard certifies the entire production process from the production of the fibres to the final product, as well as the supply chain under ecological and socially respnsible criteria.

We support toddlers from first grade to university graduation. We focus on children who come from very poor backgrounds and in whom the parents are disabled or partly deceased. We want to give these children, who otherwise have no opportunity for education, a sustainable chance.

Sustainability, fairness and future orientation are of great importance to us. The 1AK Group wants to be a pioneer in these areas and act as a role model for other companies. In order to achieve these goals, we have stood for transparency and fair working conditions as an important part of the Yongdian Group since 2007. We make sure that the production facilities always work under fair conditions and that the employees are adequately remunerated for their activities. In addition, we at 1AK follow the zero-waste philosophy: It means that we produce as little waste as possible in our production facilities and thus that raw materials are not wasted.
