Our commitment to sustainability
Download our sustainability statementHeads of state, business leaders and consumers are asking what they can do to ensure sustainable practices. It is a question easily asked, but most certainly, complex, and multifaceted when answered.
At first, our approach was practical. What metrics could we immediately functionally control, and these became our five ambitions, where we would:
01
Leverage data to reduce the kilometers travelled by our products and people, and re-think where we keep stock
02
Rethink packaging holistically in our value chain to reduce the environmental impact
03
Raise the bar for Bru Suppliers and nudge suppliers to become more sustainable
04
Continue to lead the way in digital fabrics in the textile industry
05
Reduce the environmental impact of our operation
We realised, however, that these ambitions needed to be extended if we were to make lasting, more impact driven change. It was this defining moment that helped us form a partner relationship with Futureproofed and their team of experts. It has been from this point that our journey towards sustainability has become enriched and expanded upon.
Defining our strategy - a forever company
Bru Textiles strives to become a Forever Company, creating a positive impact and delivering change to ensure a sustainable future for generations to come. To do this, we are strategically molding our business vision and evolving our sustainability actions according to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the relevant SDGs within this framework.
Our goals have been centered on 5 key SDGs, that are within our core spheres of influence:
Our learnings shared
Let's join forces to reduce the impact of fabrics at every stage of the lifecycle
We want to engage with all our stakeholders to do the right thing. Our strategy has included playbooks for suppliers and partners, where we are able to assist in joint paths to sustainability. These playbooks currently include:
01
Understanding how to calculate your carbon footprints and steps to reduce it
02
Responsible consumption and production and using the HIGG tool to calculate and manage fabric selection
03
Sustainably understanding fair labour practices, diversity, and inclusion
We are continuing to expand these playbooks, as our learning and experience within areas grows.
We want to share our continued sustainability journey, the lessons we have learnt (and will continue to learn!), provide insights regarding the impact of our products, and keep you informed about our ESG progress.
