NAE has a commitment to its sustainable ethics. This is why we work daily to reflect this ecological responsibility in the environmental conduct of our factories, as well as the careful selection of our suppliers and materials. Every element of our packaging is 100% recyclable. In addition to opting for recycled cardboard boxes and recycled kraft wrapping paper, the ecofriendly tape we use is made from kraft paper and natural rubber adhesive.

We carefully select the best material options that meet our environmental ideals, without compromising the quality and durability of our vegan shoes. We use materials with different levels of sustainability, such as piñatex, organic cotton, cork, recycled PET and vegan leather.

In our Ethical Code, we classified each of these materials according to the environmental parameters we consider the most relevant:

- Resources and waste
- Energy-saving and carbon emissions
- Water waste and pollution
- The impact of microfiber on the vegan footwear industry - Chemical use

We manufacture in four factories in the north of Portugal and in two factories in Spain, with whom we maintain permanent contact. These six factories and NAE workplaces are regulated by a Hygiene, Health and Safety Protocol and a Code of Ethics & Professional Conduct.

We establish professional relationships with companies, suppliers and partnerships that promote work ethics and value their employees. Concerning our worker's ethical protection, NAE Vegan Shoes guarantees every collaborator's right to social security, equal treatment, freedom of speech, freedom of association and the right to strike.

We do not allow child labor practices or the hiring of workers under 18 years old in our establishments and factories. We promote gender equality in every workplace run by NAE Vegan Shoes by encouraging mutual respect among all employees.
