And so it goes

As a sustainable fashion label, NIKIN is committed to greater consumer awareness. As the initiator of "Green November", we want to inspire other companies and the community to consume more sustainably. Companies from Switzerland, but also from other countries, can join the Green November and collect money together with us for forest protection projects instead of offering discounts. Green November is an extension of Green Friday, which we have been celebrating instead of Black Friday for several years.

But how does it work exactly?

Every company that participates donates a portion of its turnover during Green November (01.11 -31.11) to selected local projects. NIKIN itself, for example, donates one franc or euro per order during Green November. The various partners donate either fixed amounts or also per product or order.

Would you like to participate as a company?

That makes us very happy! You can contact us at any time and we will get back to you as soon as possible. It's also best to let us know if you would like to donate a fixed amount, an amount per order or a contribution per other size for Green November.

What can I do as an individual?

Make companies and your fellow citizens aware of Green November! Find out from your favourite labels if and why they are offering discounts. Communicate that sustainability is important to you and, if you are not completely convinced of the values and production methods, you may decide to forego a purchase or two.

The Green November 2021 projects

Which forest protection projects will we support together during "Green November 2021"? The donations will be collected in Germany and Switzerland and will flow into local projects that are committed to forest protection and reforestation. For here, too, forests are increasingly threatened by bark beetles and natural events. All donations from Switzerland go to Bergwaldprojekt, while the money from Germany goes to TreePlantingProjects.

The Mountain Forest Project is a non-profit foundation based in Trin in the canton of Graubünden. Since 1987, the Mountain Forest Project has been committed to the preservation, maintenance and protection of the forest and cultural landscape in the mountain region. Every year, around 2,500 volunteers work at over 40 locations in Switzerland, making an important contribution to preserving the diverse protective effects of the mountain forest.

The TreePlantingProjects agency from Germany consists of a 15-member team and a volunteer community. Thanks to donations, they lease forests on private property for 7 years and establish a climate-resistant mixed forest. Currently, 75 projects are running, most of them in Bavaria.
