Responsibility

A responsible journey
Since the beginning, natural and responsible materials have been a conscious and close choice for us. From the materials we select to the processes we work with in production, we strive for environmentally friendly solutions that take both people, wildlife, and the nature around us into consideration.
It is not a final destination, but an ongoing journey where we continuously work to improve and take even greater responsibility.
craftmanship & product
The product is at the heart of our business at bisgaard. We take great pride in ensuring that our shoes meet strict standards regarding unwanted chemicals, quality, and environmental responsibility. This is essential so that parents can choose bisgaard shoes for their children with full confidence.
Focus on unwanted chemicals
We have a strong focus on minimising the use of unwanted chemicals in our products. It is important to us to ensure that children receive products that are both safe and of high quality. Therefore, we comply with REACH standards, which are among the most comprehensive chemical safety regulations in the world.
Our commitment to avoiding unwanted chemicals means that we continuously update our production processes and select materials that meet the strictest safety requirements. This ensures that you, as a consumer, can feel confident using bisgaard products, knowing that they are free from unwanted substances.
LWG – Leather Working Group
At bisgaard, we work step by step to reduce our environmental impact on the world we all call home. An important step in this journey is using leather from certified tanneries. At the beginning of 2024, bisgaard achieved LWG certification as a company. This means that our production processes have been audited and approved according to the standards of the Leather Working Group – a globally recognised certification that evaluates tanneries based on a range of environmental criteria.
Are there fluorinated substances in our TEX membrane?
Like many other shoe manufacturers, we use a TEX membrane in many of our shoes and boots at bisgaard, making them waterproof and keeping children’s feet dry on rainy days. Waterproof membranes have recently been the subject of debate, as some may contain problematic fluorinated substances (PFAS) to achieve water resistance.
However, our TEX membrane is free from PFAS, as we set high standards for both materials and suppliers.
The best materials from nature
At bisgaard, sustainable materials have been a natural choice from the very beginning. When we design and create new collections, it is close to our hearts to use the very best materials nature has to offer. Natural materials such as leather, 100% wool, organic cotton, and natural rubber have an inherent durability and long lifespan, and often become even more beautiful over time.
Nature has endlessly much to offer and inspires us every day with its colours, textures, and fascinating patterns. Behind every design choice at bisgaard lies a deeper intention that celebrates the love of nature’s own artistry – because our children’s feet deserve the very best.
