At Y.O.U Underwear, we try to have a positive impact on the environment. We work towards this in a number of ways, and have third party verifications for our claims. We've put together a list of our certifications to help you learn more about our sustainable commitments...

What We're Doing

  • Black background with blue and green logo and cotton to side

    Fairtrade Cotton

    Fairtrade sets a number of standards and imposes checks to make sure these are being met.

    These include the protection of workers’ rights, the upholding of certain environmental standards and that farmers are paid fair prices (never below the market rate) for their products.

  • The Green GOTS Logo

    GOTS Certified Organic Cotton

    Conventional cotton is one of the world's most polluting crops, which is why we use GOTS Certified Organic Cotton in all of our underwear.

    GOTS certify every step of the supply chain, from harvesting through production, ensuring that rigorous social and environmental standards are being met.

  • PETA-Approved Vegan Logo, Circular and Black and White

    PETA-Approved Vegan

    Vegan clothing is not just about avoiding the obvious culprits of leather, fur and exotic skins (which we do), but also about being cruelty-free more broadly. PETA have outlined that the presence of their certification is a way of recognising ‘progressive compassionate businesses’. 

    Our underwear is 100% animal product free.

    Our Underwear is Vegan & Cruelty-Free

  • Living Wage Employer

    We're committed to paying all of our employees the Real Living Wage, as set by the Living Wage Foundation. We believe everyone should earn a fair day's pay, based on the cost of living - not just the government minimum.

    We join almost 9,000 other businesses in paying the Real Living Wage.
