Sustainability at mey.

At mey, we put people at the centre of our business activities. In addition to our high environmental standards, our corporate duty of care forms the core of our sustainability strategy.

Only those who recognise their social responsibility can assume it appropriately and continuously expand it. For this reason, we have established a risk management system to avoid tomorrow's risks today and ensure that they are remedied.

Here at mey, we see sustainability as a pillar which secures the foundation of our corporate success over the long term. By continuously improving our standards, production processes and goals, we will continue to make a contribution in the future by producing durable and premium quality products while also using less power and resources.

Sustainability and responsible consumption reflect the spirit of the times and are much more than a short-term trend. We continue to produce a large portion of our products in our factories in Germany, Portugal and Hungary.

We have various certifications for our products. They require strict compliance with the highest standards. All of these specifications and tests help us achieve the premium quality required to meet our standards and also satisfy our customers.

The most important component of the majority of mey products is our premium cotton. We obtain our cotton from different suppliers, some of whom we have worked with successfully for more than 30 years. Moreover, innovative cultivation methods and organic cotton also play a major role for mey.

By means of a climate sponsorship with Positerra, our company is doing its part in achieving better environmental and climate protection. In this way, mey is able to offset a large part of its emissions in cooperation with a regional partner and by means of supporting agriculture that promotes humus formation.

The abstract term sustainability becomes very real and tangible when considering the current situation for bees. A world without bees is inconceivable for our biodiversity and ultimately for our own survival. The importance of bees is significant and pollination by bees is indispensable. In recent years, bees have become more and more of an indicator of our environment’s state of health.

mey employs the principle of optimising the use of resources as best possible. An innovative and successful example is our “Swabian Boomerang”, which received the German Environmental Award in 1998. The hanger cycle system also secures workplaces in the region.
