Sustainability

We are committed to playing our part in improving the sustainability of clothing across its lifecycle

As a twenty-first-century organisation, you cannot be involved in recycling without a clear understanding of modern environmental responsibilities – even if your company began life back in the nineteenth century.

All factory machinery is fitted with soft-start, energy-efficient motors and we’ve installed eco-friendly LED lighting to reduce our energy consumption. To use energy even more efficiently, our onsite transformer house incorporates Power Factor Correction (PFC).

We are is also committed to TEXTILES 2030, reporting collection volumes and resources employed in the collection to further TEXTILES 2030 ambitions to improve the sustainability of clothing across its lifecycle.

Since our founding over four generations ago, our business has been to promote recycling and our determination to sponsor and support the latest environmental practices in doing so remains undiminished to this day.
