Brand Performance Check Report for 2023-2024

Icebug ranked as "Leader"

At the end of January 2025, Icebug was ranked in the highest category, "Leader", after undergoing Fair Wear’s latest review, known as the Brand Performance Check. We are, of course, very proud of this achievement—one we wouldn’t have reached without our factory partners and their employees—but our commitment to continuous improvement remains as strong as ever.

Many companies still exploit workers with poor conditions

– Working for fair working conditions and wages is a given for us. Building a successful company by exploiting people can never be OK, and when buying extremely cheap clothing or shoes, one must be aware that someone else is paying the price. Through our collaboration with the Fair Wear Foundation and our factories, we increase transparency and show that we stand behind everything we produce, says Icebug’s CEO, David Ekelund.

Long-term partnerships

For Icebug, a key factor has been maintaining long-term partnerships with the same factories. Rather than jumping between suppliers based on the lowest available price at any given moment, building lasting relationships allows factory owners to provide their employees with job security and fair conditions.

We can drive change

– We have both a responsibility and an opportunity to make a difference. This is an industry where many workers are paid by the piece, with no job security and poor wages. As business owners, we can drive change, and as consumers, we can refuse to support unscrupulous companies selling low-quality goods online, says David Ekelund.

Ilmastonsuojelu on tärkeä osa liiketoimintaamme

Me Icebugilla olemme sitoutuneita valmistamaan parempia kenkiä, jotka auttavat sinua ulkoilemaan joka päivä - sääolosuhteista riippumatta. Olemme myös päättäneet muuttaa alaa ottamalla vastuun hiilijalanjäljestämme. Tavoitteemme on valmistaa kenkiä, joilla on erinomainen kestävyys, alhaiset hiilidioksidipäästöt sekä kunnioitus ihmisiä ja planeettaa kohtaan. Osan rahoista, jotka sijoitat meihin, palautamme takaisin planeetalle lahjoittamalla järjestöille, jotka työskentelevät esimerkiksi vanhojen metsien säilyttämiseksi.
