Sustainability Woven Into Everything We Do
At Jerico, sustainability isn’t an afterthought — it’s at the heart of who we are. From local production to eco-friendly fabrics and everyday practices, we’ve built our entire business model around minimizing environmental impact while maximizing social responsibility.
Our Philosophy
Local Production, Lower Emissions
By consolidating all manufacturing within the Greater Toronto Area, we eliminate the need for long-distance shipping and reduce carbon emissions. Our advanced knitting machines save energy, our dye house cuts water use by 45%, and our cutting and sewing teams recycle over 10% of textile waste. Even small choices matter — like reusing mail envelopes and shipping in second-hand boxes.
Certifications and Partnerships
Responsible Fabrics
In addition to scrupulous recycling and consolidation, we continue to expand our eco-friendly collection. Over 50% of our line is now made from environmentally fibers including organic cotton and bamboo. Using GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified fibers guarantees that our textile products are made from certified organic raw materials and that all stages of processing, from harvesting to manufacturing and labeling, adhere to strict environmental and social guidelines.
Sustainable Practices
Our Ongoing Commitment
We integrate sustainability into every decision we make because we believe it’s not just the right choice — it’s the only choice. With Jerico, you’re choosing apparel that respects both people and the planet.
