Swijin is seeking progressive sustainability solutions to ensure that our innovation is just as ethical as it is cutting-edge.
Swijin was established in Switzerland, a country teeming with natural beauty. Who, if not us Swiss outdoor enthusiasts, would be more interested in preserving our playground and getting out to enjoy it?
That’s why our goal at Swijin is to create sustainable high-performance activewear. We want to help people engage in the outdoor activities we enjoy so much — without taking a toll on the planet in the process.
It’s a pretty big ambition. No other apparel company so far has been able to strike the right balance between high-performance and eco-friendliness. Why? Simply because the scientific discoveries we need to do so are still on the way.
But Swijin believes sustainability and performance really can co-exist. We want to show the world it’s possible to make activewear (with features like moisture-wicking and thermodynamics) via practices that are entirely planet-friendly.
Our mission is guided in part by several of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that the United Nations announced in 2015. The SDGs include 17 interconnected global objectives designed to realize a “more sustainable future for all” by 2030.
These are the three SDGs that resonate the most with us here at Swijin:
