We are aware of the impact that our industry can have on the environment, and the responsibility that we all share to operate in a sustainable way. We are working hard internally to make changes wherever possible to reduce our environmental footprint, and the impact our production has on the lives of others. As a result, we have highlighted priority areas where we can make the biggest difference - a starting point on our journey of sustainability.

In our assessment, production and waste are the areas where we can make a meaningful difference. We will begin our journey by looking at how we can improve our offering of the most eco-friendly fabrics as well as reducing any unnecessary waste. Team work makes the dream work, so we want to involve our sisterhood in part of this journey by making information readily available and implementing an initiative to tackle wardrobe waste. Vast amounts of unwanted clothing are thrown away each year, most of which end up in landfills instead of reaching communities that would benefit from donations. This is something we are keen to address but need a little help from our sisters!

Whilst we are making changes to address these issues, this is not something that we are approaching as a tick box exercise, nor are we willing to merely latch onto current buzzwords. We are tackling this one step at a time by carefully investigating, never settling, always improving and always remaining open and honest about our progress. It is a process that we will continue to develop, and we are excited to include our sisterhood on this journey.
