HARA is committed to creating high quality products that last. We strive to reduce our environmental impact through innovation, low waste designs, recycled packaging, natural fabrics and non toxic dyes. Acknowledging that this journey involves making mistakes, our goal is to learn from them while honouring our commitments and continually questioning our practices to find improvements.
NATURAL FABRICS
Our products are made using natural fabrics selected for their lower environmental impact. Our bamboo lyocell fabric is produced in a closed loop system and is certified by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, which means it has been tested for harmful substances and meets globally recognised safety standards for human health.
LOW IMPACT REACTIVE DYES
Our products are dyed using Low-Impact Reactive Dyes. Low impact fibre reactive dyes don’t contain any toxic chemicals and don’t require toxic mordants (substances that fix dyes to fabric). They require significantly less water during the dyeing process and the water used can be recycled, which reduces waste. Reactive dyes are highly-concentrated. Where several pounds of natural dyes would be required, it takes only a teaspoon of reactive dyes for the same amount of colour richness.
1% FOR THE PLANET
HARA is proud to be a member of the 1% for the Planet organization, a global network committed to protecting our environment. By pledging 1% of our annual sales to environmental nonprofits, we join a global network dedicated to protecting our environment. This commitment reflects our dedication to sustainability and environmental responsibility, ensuring that our customers can feel confident their purchases contribute to meaningful, positive change.
Together, we are creating a movement, a collective effort to protect our planet and ensure its vibrant future. We actively support initiatives that combat climate change, protect wildlife, and promote sustainable practices worldwide.

SUSTAINABILITY AS PRACTICE
HARA recognises that sustainability isn't a destination. It's an ongoing practice. A way of being that recognises our impact, takes responsibility for it, and tries to give back where we can.
That means holding two things at once: accepting that perfection isn't possible, while never letting that absolve us from striving toward better standards. It's the ongoing work of asking more thoughtful questions about what we make, how we make it, and what it costs, both socially and environmentally.
