Zadig&Voltaire

“Together, we are unstoppable!!”   On International Women's Day on March 8, we wanted to share the message and campaign of the Fondation des Femmes, which we have proudly supported since 2022, alongside our clients. The Fondation des Femmes is the leading organization in France for women's freedom and rights and against violence against women. By supporting the Foundation, we are backing their concrete actions that enable women to be heard, supported, and protected throughout France. In 10 years, the Fondation des Femmes has distributed €20 million to more than 1,000 fieldwork organizations. Thanks to this collective commitment, 600,000 women have been helped, housed, or advised. These figures reflect an essential and more necessary than ever mobilization.   To support its action, Zadig&Voltaire has been offering since April 2022 in its boutiques in France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Greece, Italy, Luxemburg, Netherlands, and Portugal, a collection of tote-bags made from archives’ fabrics, with 100% of the profits from the sale being donated to the Foundation. In a circular economy dynamic, Zadig&Voltaire has used its emblematic archive fabrics as well as textile labels from former collections to create more than 100 variations of tote bags. Since the launch of the operation, and thanks to the mobilization of our customers and our retail teams, almost 35,000 tote bags have been sold to support the action of the Foundation. Through donations it receives, the foundation provides financial, legal and material support to associative initiatives with a strong impact across France.

Zadig&Voltaire has renewed its 4 certifications — Walking the Talk ! For the 4th consecutive year, we’ve renewed our certifications under GOTS , OCS, GRS and RWS* standards. This isn’t just a formality. It’s the result of a clear strategy fully part of VoltAIRe, our Sustainability program: certifying our materials and products at scale to bring credibility to what we’ve put in place. Along with these 4 certifications, Zadig&Voltaire is also a member of the Good Cashmere Standard and of the Leather Working Group. Through this large-scale certification strategy:   ✅ We’re walking the talk with concrete results to show for it : to date, 90% of the key raw materials (cotton, wool, cashmere, leather, viscose, and polyester) used in our SS25 collection come from certified sources and more than 50% of our textile products are certified all along their supply chain. ✅ We’re strengthening our traceability initiative and providing more accurate information to our customers ✅ And we’re doing it together, across our teams along with our partners and with the drive to go even further.   And we don’t stop there!   *GOTS ( Global Organic Textile Standard), OCS (Organic Content Standard), GRS ( Global Recycled Standard), RWS ( Responsible Wool Standard) “ Certifications delivered by Ecocert Greenlife to ZV France, licence #236658”.
