Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become an essential component of our business model, meeting the new expectations of our customers while generating long-term value.
Our WE ACT program translates our commitments into actions, to meet the societal and environmental challenges of our time, while taking into account the expectations of our employees, suppliers, customers and shareholders.
Thanks to our CSR approach, we are labeled PME+. A label from the Fédération des Entreprises et Entrepreneurs de France that selects independent French companies on a human scale with ethical and responsible practices.
CSR at Wolf Lingerie is much more than just a part of our business model. It is a profound conviction, integrated into our DNA as a responsible company towards our stakeholders, our employees, our customers and our environment.
We do not consider it as a lever for profitability or a marketing argument, but as an absolute necessity to ensure our long-term survival. To survive and continue to evolve, our company needs a sustained and coherent CSR strategy.

We select partners and suppliers who share our commitment to respect and responsibility. By limiting our panel of suppliers to manufacturing partners chosen for their reliability and their commitment to continuous improvement, we are building lasting and ethical relationships.
Our teams of buyers, divided between China, Bangladesh and France, work directly with these partners, without intermediaries.
We ensure complete tracability from the first three tiers (manufacturing, fabrics, and dyeing) and we strive to develop it all the way to the spinning mills and fiber suppliers. We have established a strict policy concerning the precise geographical origin of the cotton used.
Our manufacturing partners and our material suppliers are committed to scrupulously respecting our code of conduct. Regular audits and certifications ensure respect for human rights and decent working conditions, in accordance with ILO [International Labour Organization] conventions.
Our goal is to achieve 100% compliance among our selected partners. In addition, by regularly assessing the CSR maturity of our suppliers and by evaluating our own purchasing practices through Better Buying surveys, we aim to contribute to the improvement of practices in our value chain.
We regularly share the list of our suppliers on Open Supply Hub, promoting total transparency and strengthening our commitment to responsible business practices.
Committed to a goal of contributing to carbon neutrality, we carried out our first carbon assessment in 2022. We have set annual goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for scopes 1 and 2, and we are actively engaging our value chain to define concrete goals in scope 3.
We participate in sectoral initiatives for a more virtuous industry, such as the CSR commission of the Fédération de la Maille, de la Lingerie & du Balneaire and the lingerie collective of Refashion, focused on the circularity of lingerie products.
Since 2018, we have been improving the induction and retention of people with disabilities in our company. Our efforts also include partnerships with businesses who employ people with disabilities and internal awareness initiatives. As a result of these voluntary actions, we are able to meet legal requirements and keep our contribution to Agefiph (Association for the management of the fund for the integration of disabled people) to the legal minimum.
Since 1998, Sans Complexe Lingerie has positioned itself as the pioneer brand of the “Body Positive” movement. The brand supports women with large breasts in the expression of their femininity, so that they feel beautiful and good about their bodies every day.
Since 1996, Billet Doux has accompanied young women on a daily basis with fantasy, seduction and comfort ranges to meet all needs and desires.
To ensure the safety of our products, we are implementing a rigorous eco-toxic approach, including:
For several years, Wolf Lingerie has been a proud supporter of the Pink October campaign, which contributes to the fight against breast cancer. Each year, its brand Sans Complexe Lingerie undertakes communication actions to raise awareness about the early detection of breast cancer and to raise funds for the Ruban Rose association. Our employees also participate in local charity races to raise funds.
To recycle waste from our headquarters, we collaborate with ELISE, which employs people with disabilities. We also donate our import boxes to ESAT for their transformation.
We encourage our employees to participate in solidarity or environmental initiatives during their working time, with an allowance of 12 hours per year for these activities.
