The MATE Eight
1. Clean
We uphold a strict list of restricted substances to ensure that carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, and other toxins are kept out of our supply chain and off your body. By using Organic materials and non-toxic dyes, both our customers and supply chain MATEs stay safe and protected.
2. Essential
We believe the best way to limit your impact is to buy quality goods that will last a lifetime. That's why we make seasonless styles that are meant to be worn every single day, year-round. From our designs to our color palette, we strive to create well-loved, well-worn pieces that stand the test of time.
3. Organic
We use Organic yarns and dyes so that people and the planet are not exposed to harmful pesticides. Sourcing Organic improves the full lifecycle of our products—from farms, to garment workers, to customers, and back to the soil.
4. Ethical
When we say we create safe, comfortable, and fair working environments, it applies far beyond our headquarters. Everyone in our supply chain—farmers, garment workers, and recyclers—must be treated with respect, and must make responsible choices when it comes to carbon emissions, water use, and chemical use.
5. Women-Centered
MATE is a company founded by women, run by women, and focused on making products for all women—through every stage of life. (Even though Mini MATE looks super cute on the boys, we all know girls run the world.)
6. Plastic Free
Life in plastic . . . not so fantastic. That's why we've eliminated all the plastic in our labels and packaging, and even developed MOVE by MATE which only uses 8% spandex (significantly less synthetic fibers than typical activewear.) You won't ever find polyester, nylon, or polyamide in our products.
7. Circular
The best MATEs are the ones that come back around. Through our recycling program, we take your old garments back and give them new life as another MATE product. We also collect all of the cutting scraps from our factories and incorporate them into new MATE products with the help of a mechanical fiber recycler.
8. Certified
Claiming to be a "sustainable" brand needs to be backed up by data and science. We're proud to hold rigorous certifications that measure our entire social and environmental impact. MATE is Climate Neutral, GOTS certified, and a B Corp.
