Global Recycled Standard (GRS)
We are proud to officially announce that we are certified to the Global Recycled Standard. The GRS certification supports the verification and tracking of recycled materials in final products. The certification covers the entire supply chain and defines requirements of traceability, environmental principles, social requirements, reduction of chemical content and requirements for labeling.
Upon receiving the GRS certification as a company, our next important step is to focus on producing GRS-certified products. To reach that goal, 50% of the composition must come from recycled materials.
What is the Global Recycled Standard?
The GRS certification supports the verification and tracking of recycled materials in final products.

What does it take to keep the GRS-certification and produce GRS-certified garments?
Our company must undergo a yearly audit with an independent audit agency. To produce GRS-certified products every link in the supply chain must have its own Scope Certificate (SC) and a Transaction Certificate (TC) that follows the products on their journey from manufacturing to retail. With our GRS-certificate we also commit to producing a higher number of products containing recycled fibers.

Aabenraa Crisis Center for Abused Women
Brands of Scandinavia a/s has chosen to support to Aabenraa Crisis Center for abused women. The Center’s purpose is to help women and their children, who have suffered mental and physical violence or threats, and find themselves in an acute crisis situation.
“A big thank you for all the lovely clothes we received. Wow, we have had a party! Especially one resident who had nothing at all and who was never allowed to buy anything.
She looks so beautiful in her new clothes - she has never felt so nice looking as now. I hope by sharing this with you, I give you just a little bit of the joyful feeling that we experience every time we receive clothes from you.”
Tove Lagoni, Tidligere Leder, Aabenraa Krisecenter
“We would also like to thank you very much for the financial support and the nice Christmas presents that you are so kind to send in our direction. This means that both women and children are having a more joyful Christmas and that we can take them on excursions during the year, and it is worth its weight in gold for everyone. ”
