IMPACT FASHION
Wood Belt is produced in compliance with Impact Fashion principles.
Vulnerable social groups are included in the development, manufacture and marketing of our products. The different Wood Belt models are named for their individual qualities and stories. The NO symbol represents the unacceptability of the use of belts for violence. The production and sale of our belts are based on the WFTO’s ten principles of fair trade.
Since Wood Belt belts have no metal parts, you can go through security screenings at airports and other locations quickly and comfortably, without removing your belt. The ON symbol in the logo indicates that the belt does not have to be removed.
To manage all Wood Belt impacts we use Impact Fashion Index (IFI). Wood Belt IFI: 8,5 / 11.
