SUSTAINABILITY

"Sustainability in Every Step..."

As Ultra Socks, sustainability is present in every step we take, from our R∓D projects to our investments, from material selection in production to energy usage, from the preservation of natural resources to the management of waste resources.
 

Sustainability in the Sock Manufacturing Industry

Today, sustainability is a business approach adopted and implemented across various industries, from food to automotive, construction to energy, and textiles. In the sock industry, where many natural resources such as yarn, water, and electricity are utilized during the production process, sustainability holds a significant place. Moreover, new generation solutions such as certified production, reducing carbon footprints, and tracking from the source to the final product through digitalization are becoming increasingly important in the sector's journey towards sustainability.
