Our Planet. Our Promise.
Why It Matters to Us
When we started TIGRÉE, we made a promise — that every material we source and every partner we work with would meet rigorous standards of environmental responsibility. From the materials we source to the packaging we deliver, every decision we make is guided by one question: can we do this better, and more responsibly?
We were told it was too difficult. Too expensive. Too idealistic.
We disagreed.
And we didn't stop at paperwork.
Our founders personally visited our manufacturing partners to verify their environmental practices firsthand — including wastewater treatment facilities and on-site sustainability processes. Our suppliers shared their environmental compliance certifications directly with us, giving us the confidence that our standards are met at every level of production.
Our Materials
At TIGRÉE, we believe every responsible choice matters. Before production begins, we require all our suppliers to provide certification confirming that the primary materials we use meet rigorous global standards. We are proud of the standards we hold our supply chain to.
- LWG Certified Leather — We source our leather exclusively from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group, ensuring responsible water usage, waste management, and environmental compliance.
- GOTS Certified Organic Cotton — We source only cotton from suppliers who meet the Global Organic Textile Standard, guaranteeing organic farming practices free from harmful chemicals.
- GRS Certified Recycled Materials — Where possible, we source Global Recycled Standard certified materials, giving new life to existing resources.
- OEKO-TEX Certified — We only source materials from suppliers who can certify that their products are free from harmful substances, safe for you and the environment.
- SGS Tested & Verified — We require our suppliers to provide SGS testing reports — one of the world's leading independent inspection and certification companies — before production begins.
Our Packaging
We believe sustainability doesn't stop at the product.
- Printed on 100% recycled paper
- Recycled content in all packaging
- Eco-processed inks
- Biodegradable hang tags
- FSC Certified Boxes — Our product boxes are sourced from Packfactory, certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, ensuring materials come from responsibly managed forests.
- EcoEnclose Mailer Bags — Our shipping mailers are sourced from EcoEnclose, made from 100% recycled materials.
Our Promise
We are a small brand with big responsibilities. We will continue to raise our standards, seek better materials, and find more sustainable ways to bring TIGRÉE to you.
Beautiful. Functional. Sustainable. All three. No exceptions.
A Note on Natural Leather
We understand that in today's world, "eco-friendly" is often associated with avoiding animal products altogether. We respect that perspective. However, at TIGRÉE, we made a conscious and informed decision to use natural Cabretta lambskin leather for our gloves — and here is why.
Longevity — A well-crafted leather glove significantly outlasts synthetic alternatives, meaning less waste over time.
Biodegradability — Unlike plastic-based synthetic leathers, natural leather eventually returns to the earth.
Performance — For the serious golfer, the feel and precision of natural leather is simply irreplaceable.
Responsibility — We source exclusively from LWG certified tanneries, ensuring that every hide we use comes from suppliers committed to responsible environmental practices.
Our goal is not perfection — it is progress, transparency, and the courage to make better choices.
