We recognise our operations have an impact on the environment, and we’re on a journey to reduce that through continuous improvement of our systems and processes. Our overarching stance is to reduce our impact on the environment by producing high-quality, long-lasting garments. This approach seeks to decrease demand from our customers, preventing or reducing the pollution associated with the manufacturing and disposal of clothing.
Our Environment
To achieve this, we will …
- Comply with or exceed relevant legislative environmental requirements relating to our operations and products.
- Minimise waste by evaluating our operations and ensuring they are as efficient as possible, together with extending the lifespan of our products.
- Reduce our transport related environmental impacts by only shipping via sea or land, and never using air freight.
- Actively design garments to be long-lasting, durable and repairable, to reduce the need to replace them.
- Increase supplier awareness of sustainable manufacturing practices and support them in adopting any new practices.
- Require that every component in our products holds a valid OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certificate, guaranteeing chemical safety.
- Test all garments for colour fastness, dimensional stability, appearance, durability and strength to ensure garment longevity.
