Our journey to sustainability

As a growing company in the fashion industry, we feel it is important to do our part in making our environment more sustainable. We want to minimize our impact on the environment and surroundings through conscious entrepreneurship.

Our vision
How do we see the future?

Suitable is the best choice for men regarding sustainable, quality menswear. Through our expertise and seamless customer experience, modern men can come to us for items that suit every character, physique, and occasion.

Our Mission
How will we make the future a reality?

Suitable empowers every man by offering a preselected menswear selection. Both our own collections and available brands are of high quality and produced responsibly. With this, we want the modern man to make smart choices.

How do we
consider the environment?
Environmental policy at the office and in stores

Sustainability is always top-of-mind at Suitable; it guides everything we do. For example, all working environments and processes at both our headquarters and stores are set up to be environmentally conscious. Below are examples of steps we have taken:

Energy

This includes replacing all our lighting with LED bulbs. In both the office and stores, we keep the heat inside as much as possible during the winter.

Packaging

We are reducing our plastic use and where appropriate, we choose recycled plastic, such as for our shipping bags and tote bags. We also minimize the amount of ink on our packaging.

Waste

We separate residual waste, plastic, glass, cardboard, and paper. We also recycle ink cartridges and packaging from suppliers. This reduces the amount of waste and plastic in landfills.

Reuse

Old furniture is given a second life in the warehouse or stores. Old cardboard boxes from our supplier are used multiple times. In addition, carrier bags are recycled as much as possible.

Returns

We have a liberal exchange policy so that items are less likely to end up in landfills. With return vignettes on our suits, we ensure that people order more consciously.

Transport

We reduce CO₂ emissions thanks to clear agreements with transporters. Together we calculate efficient routes to supply the stores.

What do wegive back to society?
Suitable as an involved donor and sponsor
Sincere
concern for others

Suitable believes it is important to be at the center of society. To have an eye for the people around us. In addition to commercial sponsorship, we regularly consider charities that we can actively support.

For example, we have given away cookies for Kwiwanis for many years. For KWF we did several promotions, including a sock action of which we donated 60% of the profits. For Cut against Cancer we put an authentic barber in our store in The Hague. 50% of the proceeds were donated. We also gave financial support to the victims of the war in Ukraine.

Keep moving with Suitable

We are convinced that movement and social contacts are important for one's sense of happiness. That is why Suitable sponsors several sports and student associations including:

  • Arnhemse Mixed Hockey Club Upward
  • MHC Rosmalen
  • HC Haarlem
  • NMHC Nijmegen
  • TV RAPIDITAS NIJMEGEN
  • HC Den Bosch
  • L.V. Nij-Sri
  • S.H.C. Apeliotes
  • Collegium Studiosorum Veritas
  • Ichtus Rotterdam
  • SSR Rotterdam
  • S.C. St. Olof
Connecting
with our colleagues
Working together for the future of Suitable

At Suitable we want every colleague to feel recognized and seen or, in other words: empowered. This is in line with Suitable's mission. To this end, we have an anti-discrimination policy and support the policy of Verderkijkers (source: Rijksoverheid).

We look for enthusiastic and innovative individuals who are eager to learn and grow with our company. We offer training and advancement opportunities to support development. Our team is dedicated to building strong relationships with customers and colleagues, improving processes, and finding practical solutions. We encourage paperless work and energy conservation and allow some employees to work from home once a week.

Job satisfaction
on our radar
We keep the work atmosphere healthy

To ensure efficient resolution of bottlenecks, we conduct regular surveys to gather employee feedback. We view every team member as a Suitable ambassador and schedule frequent meetings to identify and utilize each other's strengths for the organization's benefit. Our goal is to enhance the quality of our work through collaboration and offer motivating incentives to promote team effort. We also organize social gatherings such as team activities, drinks, an annual Suitable barbecue, and a Suitable day to foster better relationships among colleagues beyond work.

Furthermore, due attention is given to holidays and birthdays. Moreover, Suitable is affiliated with Corporate Benefits, where colleagues can purchase products and services at a discount from various companies.

Everyone participates
We empower every colleague

Suitable cooperates with various agencies such as selected recruitment agencies, the UWV and mediation agencies for people distanced from the labor market. As an organization, we like to help our colleagues get the best out of themselves. We have a "Fit for the Job" program in which we achieve greater awareness of vitality.

In addition to workplace facilities, there are activities and amenities that employees can use. For example, we have fresh fruit in the office and workshops related to physical and mental well-being. In addition, every colleague can contact a confidential advisor to report any discrimination-related abuses.
