Responsibility at Nanso

Responsibility has been part of Nanso's values ​​and practical activities for over 100 years.

Throughout our hundred-year history, high-quality materials and time-lasting products have been at the core of our operations. We want to create everyday favorite clothes that will please you for years in terms of quality and style.

At Nanso, we approach responsibility holistically and are committed to acting responsibly, transparently and in accordance with ethical principles. In addition to high-quality products, we also consider people and the environment in our responsibility work. Our responsibility work is divided into three different themes: products, people and environment.

Sustainability as a starting point for design

All our timeless and durable products are designed in Finland. We have our own three-person design team in Sörnäis, Helsinki, and we also employ several Finnish freelance print designers. The durability, longevity, serviceability and recyclability of the products are taken into account in the design of our collections.

More responsible materials

For more than a hundred years, we have used high-quality materials and designed long-lasting favorite clothes from them. Through material choices, we can influence the early emissions and durability of the product throughout its life cycle. We choose more responsible and certified materials whenever possible.

Manufacturing according to responsibility criteria

At Nanso, we are completely transparent about the origin of our products and openly share the country of manufacture of our products. We only work with a few, carefully selected suppliers who meet Nanso Group's responsibility criteria. Nanso's tricot and fabric products are mainly manufactured in Portugal and Turkey. The sweaters and jackets come mainly from China.

Care well, you'll keep it for a long time: care instructions

Nanso's acts of responsibility

For us, responsibility means concrete actions in addition to the value base. We have recently promoted responsibility through, among other things, the following actions.

We repair our valuable products

At Nanso, we look at the entire product life cycle. Because we see every piece of clothing we produce as valuable, we offer a warranty repair service for our products through Menddie. In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, the warranty repair applies to products that have been in use for less than 12 months.

We give our products a new life

Our Uusi Elämä collection consists of new and used clothes in good condition, which have been returned to us due to, for example, a small mistake. Returned products are delivered to our partner Menddie, who repairs all products in Finland, for repair. After restoration, the products are sold in selected Nanso stores, where they get a new life.

We encourage reuse

Together with our partner Emmy, we offer our customers an effortless way to circulate used treasures. Selling branded clothes through Emmy is easy: after filling out an electronic sales order (link), Nanso customers can bring their clothes that are going into circulation to a Nanso store, where they are delivered to Emmy for sale.

We work for the Baltic Sea

Every year, we donate all proceeds from the sale of shopping bags in Nanso stores to the John Nurminen Foundation, whose goal is to save the Baltic Sea and its rich cultural heritage for future generations. Since 2019, we have already donated more than 26,000 euros to the foundation.

Domesticity at Nanso Group

By buying a Nanso product, you employ Finns and support Finnish society, because more than 80% of the product's price stays in Finland. In addition to raw materials and manufacturing, other costs, such as design, marketing, transport and packaging costs, are counted in the degree of domesticity. Nanso is one of the three brands of the Nanso Group. Nanso Group employs more than 100 people in Finland. All our products are designed in Finland. In addition, sales, marketing and distribution all take place in Finland, and ownership and design know-how are in Finnish hands.
