At Bolero, we view sustainability not only as an integral part of our production processes, but also as a core element of our business strategy. In line with our long-term goals, we focus on energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, the circular economy, and responsible sourcing practices.
All of the electricity we consume is generated from renewable energy sources. We meet 35% of our energy needs through our own solar panels, while the remaining 65% is supplied by purchasing electricity from I-REC-certified renewable energy sources.
We Monitor Our Water Consumption
We regularly monitor our water consumption and continuously improve efficiency through data-driven management.
We Set Targets
We set reduction targets based on order-specific consumption analyses and monitor our performance.
More Efficient Production
Reducing water use in our processes and using every drop more efficiently are among our top priorities.
We develop our products with a focus on long-lasting use.
We are increasing the use of natural, recycled, and recyclable raw materials.
We optimize resource use through sustainable packaging practices.
As part of our upcycling initiatives, we transform waste materials generated during our production processes into dolls together with students. In doing so, we promote environmental awareness from an early age while giving our waste materials a new purpose and value.
We believe that achieving our sustainability goals is only possible through the contributions of our employees. Accordingly, we support the development of our teams through regular training and awareness-raising initiatives.
By placing the Bolero pet food bowls we produce at designated locations, we help provide stray animals with regular access to food and water.
Energy efficiency is one of the most important steps toward responsible manufacturing. At our Bolero Socks factory, we use solar energy to support cleaner production and reduce our dependence on conventional energy sources.
With 1,407 solar panels installed on a 3,146 m² roof area, our solar energy system produces 1,000,000 kWh of electricity per year and meets 47% of our annual energy consumption.
This investment helps us minimize electricity consumption, reduce carbon emissions and produce with a cleaner, more responsible approach.
Sustainability begins with the materials we choose. Bolero Socks offers product options made with organic cotton, recycled cotton, bamboo, wool and other carefully selected yarn compositions.
Our organic cotton and recycled sock collections are developed for customers and partners who are looking for more responsible alternatives without compromising comfort, quality or durability.
By working with certified and traceable materials whenever possible, we support a more conscious textile supply chain and help our partners meet the growing demand for sustainable products.
At Bolero Socks, sustainability is not a separate promise from production. It is a responsibility we carry through the way we design, manufacture and deliver socks, legwear and bodywear products for global markets.
As a socks and legwear manufacturer based in Istanbul, Turkey, we believe that quality production should respect both people and the planet. From responsible material choices to renewable energy investments, our goal is to create long-lasting products while reducing the environmental impact of our operations.
