Sustainability
for us, this means bringing the social, ecological and economic aspects in line with each other.
We assume responsibility, not only for our economic actions, but also for the people and the environment involved in this. As brand manufacturer, and in particular as a family company, this is a matter close to our hearts and is a requirement to be successful in the long-term.

Products
Highest quality standards
In addition to function and design, our understanding of product quality also includes aspects of safety, environmental sustainability and fairness. We therefore place emphasis on those aspects both during the development of our own collections and the compilation of our product ranges. As part of the continuous improvement of our products we are also looking for materials, which are produced in a more sustainable fashion.
Production
Working in partnership
We manufacture our products in Europe and also in Asia and Africa - depending on the product category and specialisation of our partner companies, thereby offering long-term employment to many thousands of people. We have a bond of trust based on years of collaboration with many of our production partners.
We carefully select our international partners and suppliers. A pleasant and humane working environment at the production sites, as well as a considerate approach to nature are fundamental requirements.
Environment
Environmental awareness in all company departments
Particularly, as a family business we would like to leave future generations the same living conditions and resources that are available to us today. This environmental commitment we regard as a continuous and natural corporate responsibility. Step by step we promote new environmentally sustainable developments and ideas, from the careful selection of the raw materials to the virtual product manufacturing process through to logistics and the disposal of packaging.
Society
Commitment locally and worldwide
Above and beyond our entrepreneurial activities, we would like to make useful contributions to society. We have decided to focus our social commitments on education projects in developing and emerging countries: in particular we would like to make access to education easier for children of workers at our manufacturing sites, for example through the construction of school buildings and providing teaching materials. We do not have a fixed yearly budget for the money required for these projects, but decide the number of projects to support at our own discretion and personal beliefs. You are welcome to forward your enquiries to our charity and sponsoring team at spendenanfragen@engelbert-strauss.de
social report
We take responsibility
It is important for us to provide a fair and safe working environment for the employees at our production sites. In our annual social report, we illustrate our commitment to this. We act to promote human rights, a fair wage and regulated working hours in our partner businesses – through regular audits, advice and training. Our years of close collaboration with all involved in the supply chain serve as the lever. At the same time, we understand that constant scrutiny is still needed. Creating good labour and environmental standards is a permanent challenge that requires the engagement of all of the companies operating in the sector.
Engelbert Strauss now accounts for a large share of overall capacity in many partner businesses. With this comes both influence and responsibility. As Strauss grows, so too does our responsibility and commitment to all of the people and environmental resources that are impacted by our actions. We shoulder this responsibility by raising issues and helping to shape public debate on the basis of our values - in a practical way and not just through lip service.
