For us, it all comes down to a simple ethos: "It’s about our relationship to nature, and to each other". It’s how we think, and how we run our business
It doesn’t get any more free range than the Southern Alps of New Zealand. The merino sheep who grow wool for Icebreaker have more freedom than you can shake a stick at, and are reared according to a strict welfare code
The merino wool in your Icebreaker is grown in some of New Zealand’s most fragile environments. Low-intensity farming minimises the impact on the land and ensures long-term sustainability
Icebreaker’s contractors are required to treat workers fairly and meet our standards on clean manufacturing technologies. Our garments are made with recycled water and recycled heat, and use eco-friendly dyes and packaging
Want to know where your Icebreaker came from? Now you can. Our Baacode programme lets you trace the merino wool in your Icebreaker right back to the sheep station where it was grown.
