Getzner Textil has made it the company's mission to not only focus on the customer benefit during product development but above all on the protection of people, the environment and our natural resources.

The finishing processes in the textiles industry inherently demand high energy, water and chemical consumption levels. Getzner's future-focused environmental policies and active involvement in environmental protection serve the long-term security of its site. All raw materials are processed in accordance with the strictest environmental protection standards. Getzner's products are certified to bluesign®, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 and OEKO-TEX® STeP standard. Since 2018, the fashion fabrics made by Getzner also bear the "Made in Green by OEKO-TEX®" label.

Getzner has been working continuously on the reduction of its heat, water and electricity consumption for years. On the one hand, this has been possible by using the latest technologies and on the other, through the ongoing modernisation and upgrading of the existing equipment. In this way, Getzner has managed to reduce the specific heat requirements of the Bludenz production facilities with targeted measures by a quarter since 2009, for example. In 2014, the company won its first "klimaaktiv" certificate (within the scope of a climate protection initiative by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Sustainability and Tourism) for its efforts in this respect.

In 2001, Getzner started to operate its own district heating network. Since then, the textile manufacturing company has provided heat to numerous public buildings in the immediate vicinity of its head office as well as the local indoor and outdoor swimming pool – a sustainable project that results in a triple win-win situation as the environment, the heat consumers and Getzner Textil as the energy supplier benefit. The carbon saved thanks to the district heating network amounts to around 1,000 tons in total every year. In November 2018, the Austrian Federal Ministry for Sustainability and Tourism presented another certificate to Getzner following the extension of its district heating network, which now also heats a pool at the local spa and sports centre (Val Blu).
