Fair Wear
ODLO is a member, with a leader status, of the Fair Wear Foundation (FWF), which strives to improve working conditions in the textile industry worldwide. The FWF verifies that producers adhere to their code of conduct and implement necessary improvements. As a multi-stakeholder initiative, the independence of the FWF is guaranteed as it is governed by trade unions, NGOs, and business associations. Transparency and accountability are key principles of the organization.
FWF members work to improve working conditions in factories that produce sewn textiles globally. The basis of the collaboration between the FWF and its members is its code of labor practices. Eight labor standards form the core of this code of conduct. FWF members are contractually obligated to adhere to these standards.
The FWF verifies whether companies comply with the code of labor practices through factory audits and complaint procedures, audits of its members' management systems, and extensive stakeholder consultations in producing countries. The FWF shares its knowledge and (local) contacts with its member companies, giving them access to information on local legislation, labor laws, and culture.
Members are required to establish an effective control system, including factory audits, in-factory training, and factory visits. The FWF has a complaint procedure that allows factory workers to anonymously report any abuse related to working conditions. To raise awareness among workers about labor rights, the FWF also offers a workplace education program.

Laine de Mérinos
The fleece of the merino sheep is designed to withstand extreme temperatures: It is breathable in summer, insulating in winter, and yet exceptionally soft and lightweight.
In summer, the fine, lightweight, and ultra-breathable fleece of the merino keeps it cool when temperatures reach 35°C.
In winter, it produces an additional layer of wool over its first coat as protection against temperatures dropping to -20°C.

Nuyarn
Nuyarn is a twist-free weaving technology that unleashes the natural performance of merino wool, which is generally limited by conventional weaving methods. Products made with Nuyarn dry 5 times faster, are 50% stronger, and have 35% more volume, aeration, and lightness. The result is a merino wool layer that is lighter, dries more quickly, and is more durable than most products on the market.
