We are thrilled that our work in this area has been recognised with a Drapers Conscious Fashion Award for the Best Carbon Footprint Initiative. Our ‘Seven Steps to Sustainability’ project has resulted in tangible improvements to our carbon footprint, and I am proud of the entire team for developing it and then being so committed to delivering it.

 

Since launching the project, we have measurably improved front and back of house operations to reduce the environmental impact of our shops and I am delighted that this work has been recognised alongside some of the fashion industry’s biggest commercial brands.

 

“Charity retail is inherently circular as we rely on preloved goods to raise the funds for our good causes, so it would have been easy to rest on our laurels in terms of our sustainability goals. But, I hope this shows that there is so much that can be done, from shop fits to transport to brand partnerships to contribute to a less wasteful more conscious world, for both commercial and charity retailers
