Our commitments
We approach our craft with complete sincerity. We
constantly strive to be as transparent as possible in our
communications and production process. At Hast, our passion for
clothing is unmistakable, but we also aspire to produce it in the most
respectful way possible, true to our ethical and
environmental values.
PACKAGING
For several years now, we have been committed to limiting the use of single-use plastic, well aware of the devastating impact these materials have on the environment. In partnership with TIPA, we pioneered the use of fully compostable packaging in the French fashion industry. This collaboration reflects our firm commitment to offering sustainable, environmentally friendly solutions.
Likewise, our logistics partner has opted for boxes made from 70% recycled cardboard, which are themselves fully recyclable. This initiative allows us to minimise our environmental footprint while supporting the transition towards a circular economy. By taking these concrete steps, we position ourselves as responsible actors in reducing plastic pollution and preserving our planet for future generations.

Upcycling
Textile production inevitably generates a significant amount of fabric offcuts. Fully aware of this, at Hast, we decided to turn these offcuts into an opportunity. From the very beginning, we planned to reuse the fabric offcuts from our shirt production and transform them into upcycled boxer shorts.
This innovative approach allows us not only to reduce our environmental footprint by avoiding fabric waste, but also to create a new, high-quality product. By giving these fabric offcuts a second life, we help make the most of our resources and promote a circular economy in the fashion industry. This initiative reflects our deep commitment to sustainability and our desire to rethink how clothes are made and consumed.

SOLIDARITY
Social commitment is central to our mission at Hast. We firmly believe in the importance of making a positive contribution to the society around us.
First of all, like all brands—even though we try to produce as closely as possible to demand—we are always left with a small stock of unsold items. We donate these to charities such as La Tie Solidaire, which provides jobseekers with access to formal wear. This initiative gives our garments a second life while helping those who need it most to step into the professional world.

CARBON FOOTPRINT
In 2020, we undertook an ambitious project to evaluate our carbon footprint in order to analyse and reduce the CO2 emissions generated by our activity. Understanding and quantifying our environmental impact allows us not only to better grasp our contribution to climate change, but also to take concrete steps to mitigate it. Clothing production inevitably carries an environmental impact linked to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
We therefore conducted a detailed carbon footprint assessment across every aspect of our operations, with the ambitious goal of significantly reducing this footprint by 2030. We firmly believe that this approach is vital for the sustainability of our business and the preservation of the environment. Furthermore, to foster transparency and customer engagement, we have introduced a dedicated section on our product pages where customers can view the environmental impact of each item, providing essential information for well-informed purchases.
