Robumi Lifestyle - Conscious by Design

Conscious by Design

As an eco-conscious brand, we make sustainability the heart of everything we do. We aim to minimize our ecological footprint where we can and take responsibility across the entire journey - from fiber to fabric to final garment. Every step, from sourcing and production to packaging, is intentionally designed to be environmentally conscious and ethically responsible.

At Robumi, we work with eco‑friendly materials and partner with manufacturers who follow responsible production methods. All Robumi garments are ethically handcrafted in a GOTS‑ and SEDEX‑certified facility in India, where a closed-loop system ensures water, chemicals and waste are recovered, recycled, and safely managed. In line with GOTS standards, only OEKO‑TEX‑certified components are used - from yarns to inks, dyes, and chemicals - ensuring our products are free from harmful substances and made with respect for both people and the planet.

During the development of our first collection, we personally visited our garment manufacturer and local suppliers in India. Seeing the craftsmanship firsthand allowed us to ensure transparency, quality, and fair production. This hands‑on approach remains essential to how we work and reflects our commitment to responsible craftsmanship.

Our sustainability vision extends beyond materials and manufacturing. We continuously refine our business practices - from packaging and shipping to daily operations - and seek partnerships with like‑minded companies that share our commitment to a cleaner, more conscious future.

Our 4 pillars of sustainability

Ethical, certified sourcing & production

To be environmentally responsible, we ensure that every step in our fashion chain adheres to eco-friendly practices. That is why we partner exclusively with certified organizations, ensuring that both environmental and social standards are maintained as well as that all processing stages undergo yearly third-party inspections.

Our products are produced in a GOTS- and SEDEX-certified facility, whereby the entire supply chain functions within an eco-friendly, closed-loop system in which any wastage is captured, reused and disposed of appropriately.

Eco-friendly fabric

By committing to the use of eco-friendly fabrics like bamboo, we create sustainable fashion that benefits our planet and makes you feel good about your choices.

How we reduce our own carbon footprint

As a sustainable lifestyle brand, we believe our first responsibility is to look inward and minimise our environmental impact wherever possible. That begins with simplifying and streamlining our supply chain and product range to avoid excess and waste.

We also focus on reducing our footprint through conscious packaging and shipping practices. Here’s how we put that into action:

Plastic-free packaging: We use only eco-friendly, plastic-free materials.
No airfreight for bulk shipments: We avoid high-emission air transport whenever possible.
Low-impact local shipping: In the Netherlands and Belgium, we promote Vinted GO (formerly Homerr) for deliveries, achieving up to a 68% reduction in CO₂ emissions.

Social responsibility

We strive to create a positive impact both within our immediate environment and in the regions where our production takes place. By upholding ethical standards and ensuring fair labour practices and wages throughout every step of the supply chain, we actively work to prevent exploitation.

As part of this commitment, we aim to:

GOTS & SEDEX certified production
To underscore our commitment to sustainable and ethical practices, we solely work with a garment manufacturer that adheres to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and SEDEX. Although bamboo is not considered an organic fibre by definition of GOTS, GOTS certified business entities apply the same business practices as they do for organic cotton.
-
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) - Recognised as the world’s leading certification for organic fibres, setting strict environmental and social criteria across the entire textile supply chain. It ensures that products are made with sustainably sourced materials and produced under ethical, eco-conscious conditions — all verified by independent certification.
-
SEDEX (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) - Globally recognised organization that promotes ethical and responsible business practices across supply chains. Members commit to regular audits covering labour rights, health and safety, and environmental impact — ensuring greater transparency, accountability, and social responsibility throughout their operations.
