Greenzone Renovation
We expanded our Greenzone by growing our food forest and introducing rented beehives to support biodiversity. The bees thrive in our spacious environment, benefiting both our plants and the surrounding ecosystem. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to enhancing the natural world around us.
Biodiversity
We’ve expanded our Greenzone with a thriving food forest, providing fresh, locally grown fruit for our workers to enjoy. This initiative not only promotes well-being and healthy living within our team, but also enhances the surrounding environment by fostering biodiversity and creating a sustainable, green space for everyone. It’s one more way we are committed to nurturing both our people and the planet.
Material Waste Reduction
At RUBIS NV, we are committed to material waste reduction by repurposing scrap yarns from our production processes. Instead of discarding these materials, we transform them into high-quality tapes and cords. This innovative approach not only minimizes waste but also exemplifies our dedication to sustainable manufacturing practices.
Factory Renovation
In 2017, RUBIS NV committed to becoming more sustainable by reducing our ecological footprint. This effort began with a complete renovation of our buildings, focusing on energy-efficient upgrades like improved insulation, LED lighting, and high-efficiency heating systems. By optimizing our workspace, we’ve created a more efficient, eco-friendly environment for our team.

Sustainability at RUBIS NV: Going Green for a Better Future


At RUBIS NV, sustainability isn’t just a goal—it’s a core part of who we are. Guided by the principles of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, we have spent years working towards a greener world. From removing single-use plastics from our workplace and planting trees, to renovating our company grounds for maximum energy efficiency, we continuously strive to reduce our environmental impact and operate more sustainably.

In December 2022, our hard work was recognized when we earned the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification, for textiles made from organic cotton, through Ecocert for several of our products. This certification is a testament not only to our commitment to environmental sustainability but also to the social responsibility we uphold—two sectors in which we have excelled.

Our approach to sustainability is built on three key principles:


Environmental Stewardship
We are dedicated to minimizing our carbon footprint by using eco-friendly materials, implementing energy-efficient processes, and adopting renewable energy sources. With the GRS and GOTS certifications as proof of our success, we continue working towards even more ambitious environmental goals.

Ethical and Transparent Operations
Sustainability goes beyond the environment. At RUBIS, we ensure ethical practices throughout our entire supply chain, promoting fair labor and fostering community partnerships. Our certifications highlight our commitment to social responsibility as much as environmental progress.

Innovation and Circularity
We are pushing for a zero-waste future. By recycling fabric scraps and constantly seeking new, innovative ways to improve our production methods, we are closing the loop in textile manufacturing, creating durable and recyclable products.


This great accomplishment does not mean our efforts stop here. We are more motivated than ever to continue our work, helping you create green products while contributing to a sustainable future for all of us. At RUBIS NV, we believe in continuous improvement and are excited to keep making a positive impact on both the planet and the communities we serve.

Together, we are building a brighter, greener future.

Our plans

At RUBIS NV, we believe there is always room to improve. Sustainability is an ongoing journey, and we work tirelessly to refine our processes and embrace new, eco-friendly innovations. Our commitment to becoming more sustainable drives us to constantly seek better ways to reduce our impact on the planet and support a greener future for all.
