Dockers® Malaysia | Sustainability: Water<Less®

10 Years Of Water＜Less®

Sustainability is woven into everything we do. Ten years ago, we tackled water waste in a way that was true to our mission — through innovation. After countless experiments, we developed Water＜Less®, a suite of production techniques that require less water.

Style and sustainability are not mutually exclusive. With this in mind, our designers constantly think of new ways to create the same clothes you love while cutting back on H2O. These techniques can look like anything from reusing water to tumbling fabric with bottle caps and golf balls to take water and fabric softener out of the wash altogether.

Water＜Less® has saved 3 billion litres of water and recycled 2 billion litres of water to date.

Over 20 water-saving techniques are
used throughout the finishing and dyeing process.

Our goal is to use
50% less water when
manufacturing in water
stressed areas by 2025.

Today, we produce
47% of our clothes using water-saving methods.

How We Do It

Dyeing and finishing — the steps that give each product its unique look and feel — sometimes requires over 40 litres of water. Thanks to our Water＜Less® innovations, we’ve saved over 20 million litres of water in the finishing stages of production in early 2020 alone.

The Alpha Khaki, reimagined

Internal trimming guides allow you to easily transform your khakis into cropped pants or shorts, extending their life long after you’ve worn out the cuffs.
