We're seeing a big movement towards greater sustainability. We don't want to just want to be a part of that – we want to lead the way. Because even if there is a lot going on, when it comes to the lifestyle business, the clock is all too often running late. And our mission is to change that – by bringing style, quality, and true sustainability into harmony, by becoming transparent, by working with innovative materials, by ceasing to put stress on the climate, by engaging with the discourse, and by working together to show what's possible if we want it badly enough.
Reduce and compensate
CO2 emissions are generated in the manufacture of all of our products. Though we can reduce these emissions, we cannot prevent them entirely. What we can do, however, is offset them. Working with ClimatePartner, we offset every gram of CO2 we generate by providing financial support to sustainable projects, thus helping to ensure that the emissions we generate can be reduced elsewhere as well.
ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTION
It's not easy to implement innovations in our industry. Right from the start, we wanted to work only with sustainable materials, such as the vegetable tanned leather, cork, or vegan leather we use for our watch bands. For many suppliers, this just wasn't an option at first, and it took a lot of convincing to find the right partners. To get from the idea of making a watch case out of recycled coffee grounds to the finished Coffee Watch, it took more than three years. After all, it's not like there were any comparable projects to use as references. All that effort paid off, however, because we ended up developing a genuinely unique selling point, and showed that it's possible to break new ground in the area of production.
GENUINE DURABILITY
There really is no such thing as a disposable product with us! Everything we offer is produced to high quality standards – we would rather see our customers enjoy our products for a long time than have to buy new ones elsewhere. Thus, we prefer to create genuine value.Durability is, of course, a key aspect of sustainability. And if something should go wrong, our repair service will take care of it. That avoids waste too, after all!
A COHERENT COMMITMENT
We believe it's important to us to ensure that that our commitment to sustainability doesn't stop with the product. That's why we make use of 100% sustainable materials in our packaging and rely entirely on environmentally friendly alternatives when it comes to shipping. And last but not least, the value of sustainability is firmly embedded in our corporate culture:What sets the Lilienthal Berlin team apart is our willingness and our commitment to going the extra mile.
GIVING SOMETHING BACK, TOGETHER
We're also committed to social causes – we see this as a point of honor, and we always donate a portion of our sales to various causes. To this end, we've already raised around 50,000 euros. From projects meant to aid local children, such Die Arche [The Ark] or the Neukölln Mentoring Project, to cultural projects like One Fine Day, to the Action Alliance for Disaster Relief in Ukraine or the Red Cross Emergency Fund,we like to give back where it is needed.This means our customers are not only doing something good for themselves – they're also always helping to support a good cause.
READY FOR NEW INSPIRATION
Perhaps the most important point of all is that we are always open to new ideas, to criticism and suggestions. We look forward to hearing from you at press@lilienthal-berlin.hk
It is our firm conviction that we can achieve a lot, together.
