Over 50% of our cashmere styles across our
FW22 collections are certified by The
Good Cashmere Standard, a member of Aid
by Trade Foundation, with more to come
in 2023.
97% of our suppliers completed an
Environmental Performance assessment to
help us help them lower their
environmental impact.
We signed and submitted a Letter
of Intent to the Science Based Target
initiative, stating our commitment to
reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.
Across our collections, we incorporated
lower-impact fabrics (organic, recycled
and responsibly sourced materials) into
61% of our 2022 styles and 64% of our
SS23 styles.
We offset our impact by continuing
to neutralize our own operations’
emissions by purchasing renewable
energy credits and carbon offsets.
