Dateline: February 9, 2017 FastCompany. Excerpts from an article by Elizabeth Segran:
“These days, Levi’s continues to focus on how it can push the envelope when it comes to being green. Dillinger believes that part of the solution is encouraging people to stop thinking about clothes as disposable. As a designer, his goal is to create durable jeans that customers love and feel good wearing because this increases the likelihood that they will care for them better and keep them longer”
From Levi’s website on Sustainability:
Sustainability is sewn into the fabric of everything we do — from how our clothing is made to the work we do to help protect our planet.
MADE OF PROGRESS
Levi Strauss & Co. has a long history of caring — both for the communities in which we work and live, and for the environment. We believe that making a mark in the world is about what you do, but also how you do it.
For us, both the what and the how has been guided by the same values since our founding in 1853. Those values? Empathy. Originality. Integrity. Courage.
