To celebrate Earth Day, Zadig&Voltaire would like to share its commitment and showcase the daily engagement of its teams as part of its sustainable development programme, VoltAIRe.

Every day, across all our business lines, our teams are developing our collections and our shops to achieve our ambitious goals for 2025, including:

For our products and packaging

- 100% of key raw materials certified,

- Zero virgin plastic from fossil fuels,

- 100% traceable products.

For our shops

- 100% green energy,

- 100% LED lighting,

- 100% of our shops offering quality air, worldwide.

Through the VoltAIRe programme, the company has launched a major corporate transformation that involves all of our business lines. 

VoltAIRe is a progressive approach which has already yielded very practical results in terms of changes to the raw materials used to create our collections:  

- 90% organic cotton in the Jersey collection,

- 100% of viscose is made from fibres certified as sourced from sustainably-managed forests,

- 100% of the leather used for our ready-to-wear and accessories collections is sourced from tanneries certified for their environmental and chemical practices,

- 100% of the virgin cashmere and merino wool used in our Knitwear collection is sourced from traceable, certified animal welfare and farming practices,

- Increase in the use of recycled or reclaimed materials:

- Our iconic Japanese satin fabric is now made from 60% recycled fibres,

- 3 models from our collection developed with reclaimed cashmere,

- 100% of our sneaker soles will be made from 30% recycled material, starting from the Autumn-Winter 2023 collections.

Our shops also testify to the transformation we have launched, with practical results:

- 100% of our shops in France, Spain and Switzerland are supplied with green energy, as are 25% of our shops in the USA.

- A global Energy-Climate programme has been launched in Europe, the USA and Asia, to introduce very short-term energy-saving measures, such as turning off our illuminated signs and windows in all our stores worldwide between 10pm and 7am in all our shops worldwide, as well as longer-term measures to roll out LED lighting to 100% of our shops by 2025.

We are fully aware that Sustainable Development is a journey of progress. The goals of the VoltAIRe programme guide our decision-making every day. The practical results we have already achieved are proof of our ambition and the reality of the transformation process we are implementing to achieve our 2025 objectives.
