Corporate Social Responsibility
Leading with influence for 180 years: conscious of the role we play
We have established a Social and Environmental Responsibility programme centred on four pillars and twelve commitments. Our commitment is displayed through concrete acts.
La Redoute has joined « Go for Good », the Galeries Lafayette movement for a more responsible fashion and home decoration.
The Galeries Lafayette teams have drawn up specifications to determine which labels could be part of this approach, guided by three dimensions: impact on the environment, social development and the local production (French manufacturing).
A product is mentioned as Go for Good when it meets one of the 38 criteria of the public specifications established by Galeries Lafayette, which range from the choice of raw materials to social and environmental issues. Go for Good products are not perfect. This is why the criteria fulfilled are specified each time in the product sheet in order to be as complete as possible.
Make enlightened choices for the environment
La Redoute loves sustainable materials
Aware that in order to reduce our environmental impact, we need to act on the entire life cycle of our products, from the extraction of raw materials to their end-of-life, La Redoute’s teams are committed to an approach aimed at gradually extending eco-design to our entire own-brand offering.

Our supplies arriving at French ports made their way to us by barge, and we prefer transporting our goods by boat, truck, train—whatever it takes to reduce CO2 emissions. We are proud of our use of the train system in Asia—economic, ecological and fast.
