We are responsible

Doing sustainable business – at Leineweber GmbH & Co. KG (referred to in the following as PNTS) this means economic activities carried out in harmony with environmental and social responsibility. Our top priority for meeting this aspiration is responsible, long-term partnerships and carefully fostering these collaborations. As a medium-sized family business, employer and business partner, our objective is always to offer our stakeholder groups a sustainable perspective. We have therefore aligned our business operations with medium and long-term targets. Sustainability is firmly anchored in our foundations as an enabler for enduring success.

We have been proactive in taking corporate responsibility seriously for many years. This underlying approach is part of our self-image and the identity of our company. It is a quintessential element of the PNTS brand core. PNTS is a hallmark of reliability, modernity, passion, commitment and creativity. Alongside supreme aspirations for quality and fitting, we want to offer our customers long-lasting products at sensible prices. They should also experience an overall sense of wellbeing and be able to rest assured about compliance with social and environmental standards during manufacture. A high priority in this context is that people working in our value chain benefit from ethical and safe working conditions. At the same time, we are committed to the environment and we work continuously on reducing our consumption of natural resources.

Social responsibility

We are aware of our responsibility for our own workers and the workers at our partner factories worldwide and we accept that responsibility. Responsible action is a complex function – and it is more important than ever before.

Strategy and Management

Leineweber GmbH & Co. KG operates in the context of global competition in the clothing industry. The method of production is highly specialised and labour intensive. Our overarching aim is to ensure that the employees of our suppliers enjoy good and safe working conditions in spite of the complexity of global value chains. This is why we joined the amfori Business Social Compliance Initiative (amfori BSCI) in 2008.
Since then, we have been able to approach the establishment of fair working conditions more systematically and be effective over a wider sphere. The BSCI is an initiative by purchasing organisations aimed at improving global working conditions in various sectors. We believe the only way we can ensure that significant, lasting improvements are made at the factories is if we can get together with other enterprises. That is precisely what the BSCI enables us to do.

Since 2018, Leineweber GmbH & Co. KG has been a member of the amfori BSCI Network Committee and works proactively in various BSCI project groups with the aim of creating improvements in social and environmental standards along the supply chain. Our objective is to use this enhanced commitment in order to bring about positive changes in the supply chain and work on improving social standards together with our partners.

EIM - Environmental Impact Measurement

With the help of the EIM score, it is possible to make sustainability in the finishing process measurable. The EIM score assesses the environmental impacts that come into play during industrial washing. The result is presented in an understandable way using a traffic light system. The assessment is carried out in the categories of water, energy and chemicals. The effects are clearly classified in green, orange and red. The occupational health and safety of employees is also included in the score.

Our approach

This is exactly where we started. The EIM Score provides a valid and comparable evaluation system. Our goal is to award our trousers with the green and therefore best EIM score. To achieve this, we are constantly developing our manufacturing processes and reducing the consumption of water, energy and chemicals while adhering to strict social and environmental standards. The majority of our trousers already achieve the green EIM score - a success that we are constantly expanding.
