Our Own Sustainability

For us at Weekendbee, sustainability means that in everything we do, we always try to find a way to act as ecologically and ethically as possible. For more information on the sustainability of our own operations, see our latest sustainability report. 

Code of Conduct

The cornerstones of Weekendbee's Code of Conduct are Our People, Our Business and Our Responsibility. Weekendbee operates in a fast-growing business environment, where challenges are posed both by ever-changing areas of responsible business and by multi-stage production chains.

Care instructions

Proper care of clothing is important, as following care instructions can extend the life of clothing and thus increase its ecological performance. We provide tips on the care and maintenance of sports and outdoor clothing and sell care products for sportswear clothing.
Each type of material requires its own care instructions, but even following general guidelines can go a long way. See our care instructions here!
