A large number of fabrics used in our products hold the Oeko Tex label guaranteeing they contain no harmful substances; this means they are totally safe for the wearer and have with less environmental impact when they are disposed of.

All our waste is carefully sorted and treated and disposed of through the appropriate channels .
.
90% of our waste is recycled .
Lafont controls its consumption of energy and raw materials thereby contributing to a slow down in the depletion our natural resources:
- We reduced our consumption of natural gas by 25% last year

Lafont has made its website www.a-lafont.com available to all its clients, to reduced the environmental damage caused by the printing and distribution of information

Furthermore, by associating with «Max Havelaar» the French branch of the Fairtrade Association, Lafont has promised to develop part of its offer using materials which contribute to better use of natural resources.
This benefits small cotton producers, mainly in South Africa, who use only rainwater to irrigate their crops, rather than the intensive farmers of China and the United States who use huge quantities of water for crop irrigation.
