We've redesigned the model of our environmental philosophy to create a space where our sustainable actions and initiatives can be highlighted and influence what has built our identity: style, accessibility, and service.
We've come a long way since 1840! The years have passed and seasons have gone by. Our values have remained strong and our ambitions have continued to evolve with the needs of our time, but most importantly, with your needs.
To measure up to today's challenges and those of the coming decades, Vision is founding its objectives on two key pillars:
Environmental
Social
Our Sustainability Standards
The following standards will explain how a product's features meet Vision's requirements.

TENCEL™ Lyocell
Cool, antistatic, and breathable, this popular cellulosic fibre also has a number of environmental advantages:
It's the result of a closed-loop production process, meaning that the water and solvents are reused every time.
It's made of certified wood pulp from controlled and sustainable sources.
Choosing this fibre helps to ensure the protection of the world's ancient and endangered forests, which are essential for biodiversity and balancing the Earth's atmosphere.
LENZING™ ECOVERO™
Viscose
In a fluid weave or lightweight knit, this sustainable viscose is what you'll want when the heat hits. Its environmental advantages?
The wood pulp used to make this fabric comes from certified and controlled sources, thus ensuring the protection of ancient and endangered forests throughout the world.
Its production generates up to 45% fewer carbon emissions than its conventional equivalent.
It also uses less water and fewer fossil resources.
Reusable Products
Using reusable products is one of the most effective ways to reduce our trash, save our natural resources, protect our environment, and, at the same time, save some money.
To avoid the creation as well as the accumulation of waste in the environment, Simons Maison offers alternatives to single-use products, such as:
Food wraps made from beeswax
Fabric grocery bags
Reusable cups and bottles
Cotton swabs with washable silicone tips
