We are increasing the use of lower impact materials in our product ranges
It is important to us that our products are made with care and respect for the people involved throughout their lifecycle, and for our planet. This means sourcing products that are manufactured in a way that considers waste, water usage and climate impact – as well as ensuring fair working conditions for the people that make them.
Our product targets
2030
Reduce our textile carbon footprint by 50%
80%
of our textile raw materials to be lower impact by 2027
100%
of our own brand timber products to be FSC or PEFC by 2025
