SUSTAINABILITY
SINCE FOUNDING BISON IN 1972, WE HAVE BELIEVED IN ACTING RESPONSIBLY AND MINIMISING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT, SO THAT NATURE CAN BE ENJOYED BY GENERATIONS TO COME.
Bison is committed to sustainability and creating a positive impact on the heritage of tomorrow.
We are proud to partner with The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) to improve cotton farming globally. We have taken this step because we want to support a large-scale positive change within the cotton industry. BCI makes global cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment it grows in, and better for the sector’s future.
The Better Cotton Initiative trains farmers to use water efficiently, care for soil health and natural habitats, reduce use of the most harmful chemicals and respect workers’ rights and wellbeing. Bison is
committed to sourcing 50% of our cotton as Better Cotton by 2025. Better Cotton is sourced via a system of Mass Balance and is not physically traceable to end products. See bettercotton.org/massbalance for details.
When you see the BCI tag on our products you know you are supporting more sustainable practices at the farm level, and you are buying cotton from a committed BCI member who is investing in BCI.
We strive to use an increasing amount of recycled materials, which can be found across the collection, for example in our outerwear and jeans.
We have also implemented a “Sustainable Wash” programme. All jeans with this description have been improved by using treatments, that eliminate the use of pumice stones in the washing process and decrease water consumption by at least 50%, to reduce the environmental impact.
At Bison, we are working strongly towards having a positive impact on basic principles for social, environmental
and economic sustainability. Our CSR strategy is focusing on four primary areas.
1. Responsible working conditions in the supply chain.
2. More sustainable production methods and materials.
3. More sustainable cotton in our products.
4. Engagement in national and international initiatives and organisations.
We only work with suppliers that have gone through our approval process and abide by our code of conduct. We set out with these goals and policies for a more socially responsible production and a better tomorrow.

THE BISON
COLLECTION
FOUNDED IN 1972, BISON HAS A STRONG HERITAGE AND TRADITION FOR PROVIDING QUALITY MENSWEAR DESIGNS, WITH A DISTINCTIVE MODERN TAKE ON CONTEMPORARY CLOTHING.
The Bison collection includes all garment groups and a broad range of accessories. One of our main philosophies is that success can only be achieved by being authentic, honest and credible, therefore we aim to find a solid balance between design, long lasting quality and affordable price.
Bison is a utility brand signified by authentic and durable garments. Our outerwear is designed with
functionalities aimed to handle an active outdoors lifestyle and the challenges you are faced with along the way. We draw upon our Scandinavian heritage and experience dealing with harsh ever-changing weather conditions, to combine style and function in a unique way.
We do not aspire to make our mark through innovative fashion design, instead we want to raise the bar for what’s considered great quality and timeless design. We believe in the longevity of a wardrobe of strong key pieces that emphasize your personality and inspires confidence every single day. Each garment is made with perfection and passion for every detail. For us the secret lies in the
details; precious materials, commit-ment to the workmanship and never compromise on the quality.
Every day we seek to push the boundaries helping to create commercial collections, which appeal to our consumers. Elements of neutral and colorful tones, simple details and special treatments, defines the collections. The fittings on Bison are “contemporary modern” and “comfortable”. Each piece is pre-cision engineered and measured to fit perfectly.
BISON IS NO-NONSENSE CLOTHING – MADE TO LAST.
