The sourcing, processing and use of materials in products constitute about 80% of Vitra’s
overall carbon footprint. That is why materials are continuously analysed, and production
methods monitored and evaluated by independent external institutions: the used materials
should be as sustainable and low impact as possible. Vitra manufactures an increasing
selection of products, such as Tip Ton RE, the HAL RE family and many accessories in a
post-consumer recycling material.

The Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein is home to Vitra’s principal production sites. Here classics have
been manufactured in virtually the same manner for decades. Visitors to the Vitra Campus can
observe the individual steps during a guided tour of the production facilities. Vitra imposes the
highest quality standards on their material and component suppliers, who are subjected to regular
compliance audits. In 2022, 96% of Vitra’s suppliers were located in Europe, with 45% in Germany.
