Helly Hansen Responsible Workwear Commitments - Weather-Ready Workwear Programs

Helly Hansen Responsible Workwear Starts With Longer Useful Life

Responsible PPE purchasing is not only a materials conversation. It is also a planning conversation. Garments last longer when they are matched to the job, sized correctly, cared for properly and replaced at the right moment. Helly Hansen workwear programs support buyers who want durable apparel with practical documentation and fewer avoidable emergency purchases.

Commitment Statement

Helly Hansen helps customers choose workwear with attention to durability, repairability, fit and responsible material options. The program avoids broad claims that every product is identical or that one garment can cover every risk. Instead, the focus is on clear product family information, relevant standards, care guidance and a replacement rhythm that keeps crews prepared while reducing waste from poor planning.

A jacket that is comfortable enough to wear, sized for layered movement and issued before the rainy season does more for sustainability than a rushed purchase that sits unused. For industrial buyers, the strongest environmental improvement often begins with fewer returns, fewer duplicate SKUs and a longer service life for the gear already in circulation.

Workwear Sustainability Goals

Durability First

Prioritize constructions that withstand abrasion, rain exposure, laundering and kneeling wear in the roles where they will be issued.

Lower-Waste Stocking

Use size curves, replacement triggers and seasonal planning to reduce obsolete stock and repeated rush orders.

Clear Evidence

Separate recycled content, environmental management and carbon language by product family and scope so buyers can document decisions accurately.

Availability depends on product family, region and supplier record. Documentation should be checked during the quote stage so procurement files reflect the actual garments selected.
