A review of our commitments
From our more sustainable materials to our circular economy initiative, not to mention our social commitments: a look back at the commitments that have shaped our journey.
TAKING THE BIG PICTURE
On our commitments.
It is time to take stock of our CSR commitments. The first half of this year has been characterised by a clear determination: to do better, for an even more responsible and socially conscious fashion industry.
From our more sustainable materials to our circular economy initiative, not to mention our social commitments: a look back at the commitments that have marked our journey.
EVEN MORE SUSTAINABLE COLLECTIONS
We have always sought to create more sustainable fashion, striving to do better, season after season: this year, 96 per cent of our products contain more sustainable fibres. This figure continues to rise, demonstrating the extent of our commitment.
Behind this figure lie a range of materials:
Recycled fibres
They give certain materials a new lease of life.
Organic cotton
Grown without synthetic pesticides.
French materials
Which reduce our carbon footprint and preserve local craftsmanship.
Sustainable cellulosic materials
They are produced ethically.
Repurposed dormant materials
Which allow us to create something new from what already exists, through our Acte II collections.
THE SECONDE VIE, TO BE EVER MORE CIRCULAR
Envisioning a more responsible fashion industry without incorporating circularity would be incomplete.
Since the start of 2026, our Second Life programme has enabled us to collect over 2,300 items. These are high-quality, thoughtfully designed pieces, crafted in such a way that they can enjoy a second life.
In June, we launched a new edition of our Seconde Vie pop-up at our Parisian boutique on Rue de Charonne. The result? Over 1,600 second-hand items sold. A significant milestone for Ysé: because the most sustainable pieces are those that already exist.
And if you’d like to help bring a more circular approach to fashion to life, you can also donate your old Ysé items that you no longer wear by dropping them off at one of our shops in France (excluding pop-up corners) or Belgium.
STRENGTHENED COMMITMENTS TO PEOPLE
Ysé’s responsibility is, of course, environmental, but it is also social. Since 2022, we have wholeheartedly supported Rêv’Elles, a charity whose mission is close to our hearts: to support young women from working-class backgrounds in their personal and professional development.
This year, thanks to micro-donations made in-store, we have donated over €6,300 to the charity since January. These are tangible resources that enable the charity to fund support for an ever-increasing number of young women.
A commitment that is close to our hearts, making it easier for our customers to get involved in a cause that supports others.
OUR CLIMATE ACTION PLAN IS HERE
Our commitment: to reduce the environmental impact of our activities, whilst aiming for the 1.5°C target set out in the Paris Agreement. This global target is challenging, and it is becoming harder every day to meet it collectively. But we are determined to do our bit, come what may: every action counts, and every fraction of a degree avoided makes a difference.

Act II
Since 2019, we at Ysé have been creating the Acte II collections. These new designs are crafted from recycled materials, yet they share the same vision: to waste nothing and to enhance everything.
