Our current focus

Goal 5 – Gender equality

At Imagewear, we have equal pay for equal work and a team with both women and men in key functions. We believe that everyone can grow with their responsibilities and adapt roles so that employees have the best opportunities – even when flexibility and special considerations are needed.

Goal 8 – Decent jobs

We offer good and balanced working conditions with a focus on well-being, minimal overtime and opportunities for development. We take social responsibility through cooperation with the municipality on job testing and have received the Assens Municipality diploma as a socially responsible company since 2020. See the diploma.

Goal 12 – Responsible consumption

We work for responsible consumption through carefully selected European suppliers and a focus on sustainable textiles. As a partner in the RE:TURN project, we offer a green solution for collecting and recycling used workwear: Read about RE:TURN • See footwear made from recycled materials

Goal 3 – Health & well-being

We prioritize well-being through a strong community, where everyone is seen as an important part of the team. We balance workloads, support each other in daily life and create space for social and inspiring activities that strengthen both job satisfaction and mental health.

Goal 13 – Climate action

We take responsibility for the climate through energy-efficient premises with automatic lighting control, minimal resource consumption and active waste sorting. We recycle cardboard boxes for shipments and collect freight to reduce the climate footprint of transport.

Goal 17 – Partnerships

We believe that sustainability requires collaboration. That is why we enter into partnerships with suppliers, municipalities and recycling projects like RE:TURN, so that together we can create a more responsible future.
