The reduction that matters most to us is that of our impact.

On the occasion of the summer sales, and through a campaign highlighting the measures to reduce the impact of its production, Lagoped reiterates its commitments to transparency and eco-design of its products.

The textile industry, especially through the fast fashion phenomenon, shows many worrying abuses. The rapid turnover of collections encourages rampant overconsumption, fueling a production chain that often neglects environmental and ethical standards. From a human health perspective, the use of chemicals like PFAS in textiles leads to dangerous contamination, exposing consumers to significant health risks. At the same time, the environmental impact is equally alarming: massive clothing production strains raw materials, mostly natural, where production requires many resources, not to mention open-air landfills where our clothes pile up without being recycled after sometimes very (too) short lifespans. This race for ephemeral fashion leaves a lasting ecological footprint, endangering ecosystems and future generations.

At Lagoped, we believe it is possible to combine the design of new outdoor clothing with environmental responsibility. That’s why we have taken concrete steps to produce timeless, versatile, and essential outdoor sportswear, renewing our collections each year with a limited number of new items. 

We are committed to using clean materials, without PFAS, to ensure the safety and health of our customers. By choosing "Made in Europe" production, we comply with strict environmental and social standards and control our entire production chain. Additionally, we prioritize recycled materials, reusing existing resources and promoting material circularity to minimize our impact on nature. Thanks to these adjustments, Lagoped strives to offer sustainable fashion that respects our planet.

At Lagoped, we are committed to measuring and reducing the impact of our clothing production thanks to our partner Peftrust. By comparing our products to standard references — often produced in Asia with non-recycled materials and without consideration of the dangers of persistent pollutants — we achieve significant results.

For example, our unisex windbreaker jacket NAGALAKA reduces human toxicity related to cancer by 93%. The hiking pants PTARMIGAN reduce water consumption by 86%. The technical T-shirt TEETREK reduces ozone layer depletion by 87%. The technical fleece PHANTOM reduces acidification by 94%, and the softshell jacket TENGMALM reduces fossil resource use by 99%.

This data allows us to calculate an eco-score, based on European or French calculation methods, thus validating our eco-responsible production choices. Each garment on our website displays this detailed information on its product page, offering complete transparency to our customers.

We are launching a new communication campaign explaining why we do not offer discounts on our clothing. This campaign highlights our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of our adventure clothing, compared to standard garments made in Asia with non-recycled materials and the use of harmful substances such as PFAS and PFC.
