Our Environment

Nester Hosiery is dedicated to corporate social responsibility and recognizes that environmental stewardship is fundamental to being a good corporate citizen.

As a locally owned and operated company with a global presence, Nester is committed to protecting our planet through sustainable manufacturing and distribution processes. And as a key supplier to the outdoor industry, we believe minimizing our environmental impact is vital to our customers and community as well as essential to the success of our business.

Our goal is to manufacture quality socks that meet our customers’ technical and environmental requirements, take advantage of sustainable materials when possible, and require the least amount of energy, water and waste to produce.

To achieve that goal, Nester Hosiery is committed to:

• Operating within strict adherence of environmental regulations
• Implementing pollution controls wherever possible
• Eliminating solid waste with reduction, reuse and recycling programs
• Improving energy efficiency and seeking alternative energy sources
• Minimizing water consumption through reclamation and recycling
• Developing partnerships with customers and suppliers who share our commitment

To ensure we meet or exceed these commitments, Nester Hosiery will effectively employ all of its management systems to continually improve our performance and identify new opportunities to enhance our sustainability initiatives. After all, our innovative outdoor socks would be of little use without a thriving great outdoors in which to enjoy them.
