SUSTAINABILITY

The world is changing, and so are we.

Social responsibility is all about doing what's right for the community and for the planet. That’s why we’re taking steps to make our business more sustainable for the long term.

Our goal is to reduce our GHG emissions by 30% by 2030, and continue to:

  • • Decrease waste, collect & measure logistical data, and seek out green certifications and eco-conscious building materials.
  • • Innovate our product design & packaging and expand the use of sustainable fabrics in all our collections, year over year.
  • • Increase transparency in our supply chain and support positive environmental and social action through non-profit partnerships.

where we're at today

Waste Reduction

We've introduced recycling programs, a hanger re-use program, print reduction for signage and smarter packaging. We’ve also eliminated single-use plastic at head office and individual polybags for apparel shipments. Every little bit counts!

Smart Planning

Our teams are working hard to reduce transport logistics, and we're continuing with our zero-incineration policy (since day one!), meaning our overstock is either sold at liquidation or donated.

Carbon Offsets and Reduction

We offset the carbon emissions for every online order by investing in Gold Standard certified projects, so our e-commerce shipping is carbon neutral. (And we have electric car chargers in our parking lot at head office!)

Garden & Bees

Our head office community garden produces fresh veggies & herbs for our cafeteria. Plus, we have birdhouses and beehives with over 10,000 bees! Each season, we harvest our own natural, organic honey for our team members.

Recycled Packaging

We've introduced recycled and recyclable plastic bags and packaging to most of our products. We have 100% recyclable hangers for all our lingerie and swim products, and our famous surprise bags are made from 100% recycled plastic too!

FSC Certified Hangtags

We now use FSC certified paper for all our hangtags. FSC is a non-profit which sets super high standards on responsible forestry practices... it's the gold standard for harvesting wood. We even use good ink - 80% of it is soy-based.
