All leather and fur garments in the MANGO collection are manufactured respecting animal rights, and exotic, wild or endangered species are never used. Such hides always originate from animals destined for the human food chain. What is more, all MANGO products meet the most-stringent chemical health and safety standards.

MANGO participates in the Greenpeace Detox Project, which analyses the water from wet processes in the supply chain, in order to move towards the elimination of toxic substances.MANGO is also developing an internal tool to calculate the company’s water footprint and identify the processes, garments and installations with the greatest water-saving potential, which will help it reduce its water consumption.

In late 2015, MANGO launched a project to collect used clothing and footwear at selected stores, and one ton of garments have already been collected.This initiative allows 100% recycling of the clothing and footwear collected through the Koopera organisation.

Every year, MANGO neutralises the CO? emissions associated with its offices and employee transport through carbon emission offset projects close to its areas of influence.
