Rains Sustainability Actions

Durability-led product design

Materials and Innovation: Our starting point to product sustainability is found in safety and durability, by developing products that are safe to wear for people and, in the long run, have less impact on the planet. Rains has specifically chosen PU-coating as its signature, as it is significantly more environmentally friendly than its hormone disrupting alternatives: PVC and DWR-PFC.

Responsible production standards

Responsible Production: We are committed to setting high ethical standards in production and ensuring mindful manufacturing through audits, training and education. Our commitment is stamped by amfori BSCI membership and a commitment to implementing the UN’s universal, international minimum standards for responsible business behaviors.

REACH product pledge

Product Pledge: All components of Rains’ products stand confidently under the standards of REACH; the European legislation regulating registrations, evaluations, authorizations and restrictions of chemicals. Our product pledge is based on strict European legal requirement and voluntary initiatives acted in accordance with in all our operating countries.

Environmental protection in operations

Environmental Protection: With a holistic approach to sustainability, we aim to make responsible choices in every part of our business, including the way we design and operate our stores and offices, as well as how we move our products around the globe.

Product care and longevity

Longevity has shown to be one of the most influential parameters for improving environmental impacts. In other words: the longer a raincoat lasts, the smaller its annual environmental impact will be. In this case, product care and maintenance are essential aspects of Rains sustainability initiatives.
