Production and responsibility

In 2009, MP Denmark built its very own production facility in Latvia, close to the capital city of Riga. The production facility is 100% owned by MP Denmark.
In Latvia, we have about 80 colleagues and 162 specially developed knitting machines, which contribute to production every day.

At our production facility in Latvia, a wide range of socks and tights is produced year-round in our well-known quality. Each pair of socks or tights passes through 16 pairs of hands during production before.

For MP Denmark, the environment, climate, and sustainability are important, and we have a continuous focus on reducing our climate and environmental impact. We also work continuously to optimize the parts of the value chain that we can control, with the aim of improving our production. For example, we strongly aim to design and produce products that are of good quality and have a long lifespan so we can reduce consumption in the world.

Climate impact and sustainability are topics that we work with on a daily basis in our company. We know that we can always improve, and we continuously develop and enhance our practices.

Continuous effort to reduce environmental footprint
In 2017, MP Denmark invested more than 2 million EUR in the modernization and expansion of the factory and now has a top-class production facility. In 2021, solar panels were installed to produce electricity and reduce CO2 emissions.

Green energy from solar panels – an important investment in the climate
Since 2021, we have invested in solar energy at our factory in Latvia – and the results speak for themselves. With a total production of 991,155 MWh from solar panels, we have not only created green electricity for our production but also significantly reduced our climate footprint.

Climate savings:

CO₂ savings: A total of 643.3 tons of CO₂ saved since 2021  
This corresponds to what 51,460 trees absorb in CO₂ over their lifetime*

Production over the years: 

2022: 269,265 MWh – highest production to date  
2023: 261,018 MWh  
2024: 256,558 MWh  
2025 (so far): 67,311 MWh.

Solar cell production naturally follows the seasons, with the highest figures in the spring and summer months, where we make the best use of the sun. 2025 looks to be slightly lower than previous years, but we are still well on our way.
