Committed To Change “In 2019 we first outlined details of our sustainable efforts, acknowledging that we aren’t perfect and our journey was only just beginning. Since then we’ve made considerable progress, where each decision we make is a reflection of our commitment to defining what the future of creating a low impact wardrobe looks like. Today, the concept of responsible product stewardship is transforming the way we meet our material needs, where creativity goes hand in hand with respect for livelihoods and planetary boundaries.” Francesca Mangano, Head of CSR & Sustainability We still do not claim to be a 100% sustainable brand and our mission to become more responsible will always be ongoing. We take responsibility for the impact we have on the environment and we’re striving to reduce the footprint of our business and products. We are committed to change. In 2021, 55% of our collection incorporated elements of responsible and lower impact materials, exceeding our original target of 28%. For SS21, 47% of our collection incorporated elements of responsible materials. For AW21, 53% of our collection incorporated responsible materials. FOCUSES FOR CHANGE We want to be transparent about our progress so far, as we know it’s important for you to be able to make informed choices. As we move forward, we are focused on how we can do better to respect the planet and its people, source more responsible materials for our product, and improve the way we manufacture within our supply chains. We are working towards a low impact future to reduce our environmental footprint throughout our business and supply chains. Our packaging is also shifting to FSC certified, and contains recycled materials and is 100% recyclable.
