RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTION & SLOW FASHION
OUR COMMITMENT AT SPORTKIND
THERE IS NO PLANET B
Sportswear with a Sense of Responsibility
Since our founding, we have placed great importance on producing sportswear with care and responsibility. In today’s consumer-driven society, we believe that as a clothing brand, we must consider the impact of our decisions. So what can we contribute to a better future? For us, this means taking both social and environmental considerations into account in the decisions we make.
Our approach is built on three key pillars:
Slow fashion, European production and long-lasting quality.
Slow Fashion
We take a stand against throwaway culture. You won’t find constantly changing collections here. Instead, we focus on clean, timeless designs that remain part of our range for years to come. We don’t chase every trend – we prioritise quality and consistency. This means you can continue to buy our bestsellers over time and mix and match your favourite pieces in new ways. And if you love a shirt, you can buy it again – even years later, in a different colour.
Production in Europe
Our sportswear is made exclusively in family-run businesses across Europe. Through close collaboration with our suppliers, we maintain personal relationships built on mutual respect and place great importance on fair wages and safe working conditions.
Producing in Europe allows us to work directly with our manufacturing partners and maintain close communication throughout the production process.
We know our supply chain from start to finish. Instead of relying on countless subcontractors, we focus on long-term partnerships and mutual appreciation. This allows us to discuss our requirements for working conditions directly with our partners.
Our products are packaged in polybags to protect them during storage and transport. We reuse these bags multiple times, so they may show slight signs of wear.
Our Quality Promise
High-quality sportswear and exceptional quality go hand in hand for us. The reason is simple: we want you to enjoy wearing your favourite pieces for as long as possible. That’s why we exclusively use high-quality performance fabrics from Italy for our activewear. These materials, combined with expert craftsmanship, form the foundation of our high quality standards. Our goal is to create garments that accompany you for years to come – not just a few washes.
But that’s not all. Before any new design joins our collection, it goes through an extensive testing phase. We evaluate every detail – from sleeve length to seams, as well as the overall design and functionality. A design only makes it into our collection once our testers – regardless of body shape, age or personal preferences – are completely satisfied. This is how we ensure that our products meet our high quality standards.
Vegan Materials & Tested Textiles
At SPORTKIND, we consciously avoid animal-derived components in our sportswear, choosing plant-based and synthetic materials instead. We select our fabrics with a focus on quality, functionality and comfort.
We also place great importance on testing our textiles for harmful substances. Our polyamide fabrics covered by the relevant certifications are certified according to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100. This means they have been tested by independent institutes against defined limits for a wide range of potentially harmful substances, including formaldehyde, heavy metals, pesticide residues and certain dyes.
For you, this means that we consider both material composition and verified fabric quality when developing our sportswear.

Our GoGreen Plus Certificate
We are proud to participate in the DHL Group’s GoGreen Plus programme. Through this programme, we support measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions within Deutsche Post and DHL’s logistics network.
Our GoGreen Plus Certificate for 2025 confirms that, through the use of GoGreen Plus services, an emissions reduction of 2.20 tonnes of CO₂e was allocated to our 7,164 shipments. The calculations and reported reduction were independently verified by SGS.
These reductions are achieved through so-called insetting measures within the logistics network, such as the use of electric vehicles and alternative energy sources. The emissions reduction is allocated to us through an accounting-based approach and does not mean that each individual shipment was transported using these lower-emission measures.
