NOTHING IS DONE HALF-HEARTEDLY

Our consistent corporate policies of assuming responsibility, averting, using and reducing, do notstop at the retail level. For instance, we do not accept lump sum return rates, produce promotional pieces and do push additional flash and interim collections into the market. We know that such practices only result in fake transactions and in reality – including the work stress for employees – represent a huge waste of resources. Ultimately, inventory remains that can no longer be marketed and they are damaging to everyone: The environment, retailers, the brand. The furnishings we provide to our retail partners for the sales floor have long useful lives, can be regularly refreshed and recycled. Other POS materials, e.g. those used for decoration are used very sparingly.
