Sustainability

Responsible by design, not by exception.

20 independent certifications and verifications govern how we source materials, manage chemicals, treat wastewater and look after the people who make our garments. Each one is audited by a third party — not self-declared.

Measured, audited and reported — not estimated. Figures are 2025–26 unless stated.

Rooftop solar array at the B1 unit
Energy

1 MW of rooftop solar

100% of fabric waste recycled

Segregated at source into fabric, recyclable and biodegradable streams. All fabric and plastic waste is sent for recycling and reuse — diverting 99% from landfill.

Materials

~90% certified sustainable

All cotton is sourced as Better Cotton, organic or US cotton. The majority of our polyester is recycled. Viscose and modal are traceable through the TextileGenesis platform.

People

SLCP verified — Outstanding

Every factory is SLCP verified with an Outstanding rating, recognised by leading US brands, and carries Higg FEM verification averaging above 89%.

Chemicals

All chemicals comply with ZDHC MRSL Level 3, and wastewater test results achieve 100% compliance with ZDHC requirements.

Where we're going

What we hope to achieve.

Four commitments, each with a number and a year. Measured against the figures above, not against a baseline we have chosen to flatter ourselves.

2028

50% renewable energy

Up from 35% today, and from 25% before the latest solar expansion.

2028

95% certified sustainable materials

Up from roughly 90% today. The remainder is governed by specific buyer requirements, so 100% is not achievable.

2029

60% process water recycled

Doubling today's 30% by extending the recycling plant to two further factories.

2030

Net zero

Our net-zero target year for Scope 1 and 2 emissions: the fuel we burn on site and the electricity we buy.
