CO2 emissions

Carbon Neutral

Carbon Neutral

Transparency is one of the foundational pillars of Beflamboyant. It should be for any brand of vegan and sustainable sneakers as it should be for any brand, fashionable or not.

The fashion industry is the second most polluting on the Planet, it is also one of the least transparent that exists, precisely because of the damage it does to the Planet. Uncontrolled CO2 emissions, raw materials used, water pollution or labour exploitation affecting mainly women and children, this is what the fashion industry tries to hide.

We are carbon neutral company. We measure our CO2 emissions with the collaboration of AirCO2, which is a Galician company like us, and we offset our carbon footprint by investing in the maintenance of Galician forests to prevent the terrible fires that occur every year.

With this project, we are contributing to:

Oxygen production and CO2 absorption - Soil regeneration - Provide shelter for local wildlife again - Avoid further erosion of the already damaged environment - Return the brightness lost in the area

Furthermore, In Beflamboyant have been working hard to achieve a fully #ZeroWaste packaging. This is, definitely, one of the major milestones we have accomplished since we founded Beflamboyant. Every order is a dream come true. Our vegan sneakers are packed in a recycled and recyclable cardbox, free of plastic and labels, and come with a jute toteback, both ready to be used and live a new life! We also include a plantable thank you card.

Production process

Production process

Your BEFLAMBOYANTs are made in Elche, Spain, a small town in the Easthern part of Spain, whose main industry is footwear. After a thorough search we found a factory motivated to be a part of our project, with excellent artisans with many years of experience working under fair labor conditions and following high manufacturing standards, we have been able to verify all this on our visits.

TRA-ZA-BI-LI-TY, a very odd word that allows us to follow the evolution process of our product in all its steps.

Fashion industry is one of the  industries that contribute to modern slavery, linked to labor exploitation through cheap workforce. Women and children are forced to work more than 12 hours per day in  terrible conditions for a miserable salary to renew, season after season, our wardrobe. That’s insane and we don’t want to be part of it.

For this reason our vegan shoes are made in Spain and we only collaborate with trusted partners and suppliers from Spain, Italy and Portugal that respect their workers and care about the product as much as we do.

Ethical

Fair working conditions

- Cutting: With a metal die with the shape of each piece and a machine that works by pressure, each of the parts of which your shoes are made is cut, so the production process begins at the factory. As you can see in the image, it is not an easy task, due to the high number of pieces a great experience is required for the appropriate pieces to be cut, always wasting as little as possible.

- Sewing: It is a fundamental part in the process, each piece is hand sewn one by one by the factory workers. It requires a surgeon’s precision, the great experience of all the workers ensures that the puzzle that is obtained after the cutting process is perfectly fitted, giving life to your vegan sneakers.

- Assembly: The last step but not the least important is that of the final assembly, it is time to put the base of your vegan sneakers, that will make you believe that you walk on clouds. The soles are also hand sewn one by one and reinforced with a water-based glue, animal free of course. The process ends when everything is completely dry and our vegan shoes are ready to put in our packaging zero waste.

Health and security, Labor standards, Environment, Business ethics
