At SW Sustainability Solutions, sustainability is more than a value—it’s a responsibility we take seriously across every part of our business. To bring that responsibility into clearer focus, we’ve launched a new Sustainability page on our website. This page is designed to give you a transparent look at what sustainability means at SW, the work we’re doing today, and the goals we’re aiming for tomorrow.

What the Page Covers

Our new Sustainability page brings together all the key aspects of our environmental and ethical commitments in one place. Here’s what you can explore:

Our Strategy & Approach

You’ll find an overview of how sustainability is built into SW’s operations—not just as a side effort, but as a company-wide strategy aligned with global frameworks like the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We break down how we assess the entire lifecycle of our products, from raw material sourcing to end-of-life, and how we prioritize real, measurable impact.

Emissions Data & Climate Goals

SW is the only B Corp-certified glove manufacturer with targets for reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions. The page explains each scope and outlines how we track and report progress using third-party tools and calculators. It’s a clear picture of our commitment to reducing our full emissions footprint.

Product Design for Sustainability

Learn how our glove innovations—like EcoTek® sustainable technology—reduce environmental impact without sacrificing performance. The page details how we design for durability, efficiency, and waste reduction, and how material and packaging choices support our environmental goals.

Certifications & Reporting

We don’t just make claims—we back them up. You’ll see the full list of third-party certifications we’ve earned across product safety, sustainability, emissions tracking, and corporate governance. The page also describes how we track our progress internally and report it externally.

Ethical Sourcing & Packaging

The page outlines how we work with suppliers who meet our ethical and environmental standards, and how we continuously examine our packaging systems to reduce waste and promote recyclability, biodegradability, or reuse wherever possible.

Why It Matters

We built this page to help customers, partners, and industry peers easily understand our values, our commitments, and how we can support their sustainability goals. Whether you’re a purchasing manager, a safety officer, or a sustainability professional, the information here is meant to give you confidence in SW as a partner who truly walks the talk.
