Sustainability and Ethics

Sustainability is front of mind with all we do, from the fabrics that make up our products, the bits and bobs of our packaging and what we ship our products in. 

We admit we aren’t perfect. As a small business, we lack the visibility, leverage and influence to ensure 100% compliance with sustainability and ethical standards across all elements of the supply chain. Where reasonably possible for us, we prioritise these at every nook and cranny. Below is some of the sustainability wins that we have been able to achieve, for now:

Recycled and Organic Fabrics

We prioritise work with recycled and organic fabrics. Our shirts are made of 100% organic cotton which is Global Organic Textiles Standard (GOTS) and the recycled blend of our shorts is Global Recycled Standard certified.

Considered Packaging

We prioritise use of environmentally-friendly packaging solutions. Our garment bags are water-soluble… We also use home compostable mailers…

Ethical Manufacturing

We only work with manufacturers who are Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) certified, which means they are third party reviewed and tested to ensure fair, safe and ethical working conditions - think fair pay, no discrimination, no child labour, decent work hours and protection of the environment. This is something we do not compromise on and is a consistent certification across all the factories we work with. If they aren’t certified, we won’t work with them - that's on supporting manufacturers which don’t prioritise staff health, wellbeing and safety. 

Our activewear is made by a BSCI certified manufacturer in Guangzhou, China. We found them two years into our sampling journey and have had a strong working relationship since. 

Supporting Women-Owned

Whenever we collaborate or outsource to other businesses, we make it a priority to work with women-owned businesses. As a women-owned, women-run business, we XXX. For our initial product launch, we worked with two beautiful women-owned and run businesses to design and make our product, one located in Sydney and the other in the UK.
