OUR COMMITMENT

Protecting Our Oceans and Biodiversity

Every year, eight million tons of waste and 640,000 tons of fishing nets are dumped into our oceans. If this trend continues, our oceans could contain more plastic than fish by 2050 — a crisis we must address now.


By using recycled materials to craft our swimwear, we take a concrete step toward cleaner oceans and a more sustainable future.

Sustainable Practices

The fabrics used in our collections are sourced from Carvico and ECONYL® in Italy — made from reclaimed fishing nets, plastic bottles, and post-consumer waste, and certified GRS and U-Trust®.

Choosing recycled fabrics over virgin materials reduces carbon emissions by up to 80%. Despite being recycled, these fabrics are just as soft and durable as new materials, offering UPF 50+ sun protection and resistance to both saltwater and chlorine.

All dyes used for fabric coloring and prints are certified OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100.

Our packaging is 100% recyclable and reusable — zero plastic.

Giving Back — Our Charitable Commitments

Every month, we support Bali Street Mums, a nonprofit founded by New Zealander Kim Farr. This organization is dedicated to helping vulnerable Balinese children and mothers — providing support to families living from waste collection and begging, while protecting at-risk children from exploitation and trafficking.

Exceptional Working Conditions

Our Balinese manufacturer is committed to providing outstanding working conditions, fully aligned with our core values. Employees earn up to three times the local average wage and work in comfortable, air-conditioned facilities.

All employees receive comprehensive health insurance — covering their spouse and up to three children — including all medical consultations, prescription medications, and hospitalization.

In addition, employees enjoy a daily hot meal, a fresh juice, and vitamin supplements during their lunch break, along with a 13th-month bonus every year.

By prioritizing the well-being of their teams, our partner maintains the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship — ensuring ethical, responsible production from start to finish.

Joal is the meeting point of ethics and desire, sunshine and French elegance. Swimwear that tells the story of an endless summer — and the quiet strength of a free woman.
