Species protection
We always ensure that our manufacturers strictly adhere to species protection guidelines and, for leather goods, CITES regulations (https://cites.org/eng).
No leather originates from wild-caught animals.
No down is obtained through live plucking; all down comes exclusively from strictly controlled and species-appropriate breeding farms.

Sustainability strategy
A dedicated team develops our sustainability strategy, implements initiatives and programmes, and addresses queries from external stakeholders.
Our Westwing Shop sustainability team is responsible for the sustainability of both the Westwing Collection and third-party products, driving sustainable practices across our supply chains.
Environmental protection at Westwing
We reduce the environmental impact of our packaging by eliminating single-use plastics, reducing the use of virgin materials for packaging and filling, and ensuring material recyclability.
We continuously increase the proportion of responsibly sourced materials (such as certified sustainable wood) and work closely with suppliers to minimise their environmental footprint.
Climate protection at Westwing
Westwing's carbon footprint includes operational emissions (such as electricity consumption and heating in offices and warehouses) as well as indirect emissions from packaging and logistics.
We systematically calculate our emissions and actively seek opportunities to reduce and offset them.
Our commitment to sustainable trade
- We monitor social audits for our Westwing Collection suppliers to ensure fair working conditions.
- We promote transparency by labelling products online as sustainable (for example, as having GOTS, FSC, BCI, or Nordic Swan certificates).
- A dedicated sustainability filter on Westwing supports customers in making informed, sustainable purchasing decisions.
- We exclusively partner with suppliers who have been audited by independent third parties (BSCI, SMETA, SA8000) regarding social and ecological standards, and who strategically source sustainable raw materials.
