Committed since its creation to responsible and ethical fashion, Hast supports the associations AIDES and La Cravate Solidaire . Because Christmas is synonymous with sharing and mutual aid, we thought it was the right time to present to you the concrete actions that we carry out on a daily basis. Dressing men with style while supporting causes that are close to our hearts: this is Hast's challenge for today and tomorrow.
Why get involved with associations?
As a player in the textile sector, we are constantly asking ourselves questions about how to have a positive impact on the world around us - while offering you clothing of the highest possible quality . Working hand in hand with local suppliers , using natural , recycled or recyclable fabrics, promoting circular fashion, are all actions that allow us to commit to responsible and environmentally friendly creation. In order to assert our convictions even more strongly, we also position ourselves as a supportive and ethical brand by supporting associative initiatives. We have chosen to join forces with the associations AIDES and La Cravate Solidaire , with whom we share common values.
Our support for La Cravate Solidaire
Generally speaking, during a job interview, recruiters form an opinion about a candidate in about thirty seconds on average. Appearance and dress are determining factors that are imtely obvious, unlike the candidate's actual abilities. The choice of clothing can then become a criterion of judgment, since it is considered a social marker.
To combat discrimination, specifically in the world of work, 3 young graduates created, ten years ago (this reminds us of Hast's story), the association La Cravate Solidaire . Noting that all of their classmates did not have the means to afford an outfit for a job interview, the founders set up a clothing loan system, with the "solidarity dressing" . La Cravate Solidaire exists with the aim of offering equal employment opportunities to everyone, regardless of social origin or financial means.
In addition, to put all the chances on the candidate's side, La Cravate Solidaire imagines Coup de Pouce Workshops to identify possible obstacles to an application. Interview simulation, photo session, advice on attitude: the association offers personalized support to all people actively looking for a job .
Last step: choosing the outfit. La Cravate Solidaire surrounds itself with committed actors who donate certain products to them. Hast is happy to be among them and to participate in this great wave of solidarity . Every year, we donate jackets, shirts, pants or belts from our latest collections. In this way, we want to do our bit and restore confidence to candidates with pieces and suits in which they feel good. With more than 6,000 applications each year, 1,600 volunteers and 13 branches in France, La Cravate Solidaire continues to grow and proudly displays an employment rate of 65% among people receiving support .
Our support for AIDES
Since its creation, AIDES has aimed to transform society by making the voices of HIV patients heard and providing them with equal access to health and care. AIDES carries out information, prevention, support and advocacy actions to influence public health policies .
Every year, AIDES organizes Grandes Braderies de la Mode in collaboration with many brands. In June and December , the association organizes a sale of clothing at reduced prices , from recent or current collections. All profits are donated to AIDES to finance disease prevention and awareness actions.
Hast is committed to AIDES in the fight against AIDS by donating shirts, jackets, work jackets, polo shirts, sweaters and t-shirts during the two annual sales.
Through these actions, we want to build together the world of tomorrow, which is both more ecological and united.
