As a bluesign member,Helly Hansen can benefit from practical solutions regarding EHS issues including assistance in the implementation of manageable EHS guidelines as well as general supply chain management.

Helly Hansen fully supports bluesign's initiatives and believes they are serving as an important catalyst in helping the industry move in the right direction.

Helly Hansen is proud to be the first Scandinavian brand to become a bluesign member. ”
