recyclability and longevity are considered within all steps of CALIDA GROUP’s supply chain.

CALIDA GROUP concentrates on high innovative, sustainable, and comfortable products at fair prices, innovative materials and technologies, a stable and close to home markets supply chain as well as transparency and traceability along the value chain.

Sourcing and Procurement

CALIDA GROUP concentrates on an own-operated and local production strategy. Most fabrics are sourced and finished goods are produced within Europe. CALIDA GROUP concentrates on a small and stable supplier portfolio to keep supply chain distributions as low as possible and to guarantee that prices and order volumes are kept stable.

Own-operated as well as non-own-operated production sites are screened and audited on a regular basis to reduce environmental and social risks and to ensure compliance with legal and governmental regulations.
