OUR PATH TO<br />
SUSTAINABILITY<br />
At Stanley/Stella, sustainability is not a buzzword,<br />
it’s a thread that runs through everything we do. Every day<br />
we make deliberate, conscious decisions about the<br />
materials we use, who we work with, and how we work.<br />
While we know there is no magic formula for achieving<br />
sustainability, we hope to keep innovating and inspiring<br />
others so that a greener, more ethical fashion industry<br />
becomes a reality.<br />
WE ONLY USE 100% ORGANIC COTTON,<br />
AS WELL AS OTHER SUSTAINABLE OR<br />
RECYCLED MATERIALS<br />
Organic cotton is grown with no<br />
chemical insecticides, fertilisers<br />
or pesticides, ensuring a safer environment<br />
for farmers and their families.<br />
OUR SUPPLY CHAIN IS MONITORED<br />
AND CERTIFIED BY SOME OF<br />
THE WORLD’S LEADING BODIES<br />
Our certifications help show our<br />
commitment to respecting the planet<br />
and its people, every step of the way.<br />
THE WORKING CONDITIONS AND<br />
LIVELIHOODS OF THE WORKERS IN OUR<br />
FACTORIES ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO US<br />
We only work with factories who<br />
share our vision for fair work and pay,<br />
and where workers receive benefits and<br />
bonuses beyond the legal minimum.<br />
WE ARE COMPLETELY TRANSPAR<strong>EN</strong>T<br />
ABOUT WHO WE WORK WITH AND MONITOR<br />
CONDITIONS DAILY<br />
As a member of Fair Wear Foundation<br />
(FWF), we also publish an annual report<br />
detailing the monitoring activities that<br />
have taken place at each factory in the<br />
previous year.<br />
WE ARE WORKING HARD<br />
TO REDUCE OUR <strong>EN</strong>VIRONM<strong>EN</strong>TAL<br />
FOOTPRINT<br />
We collect data to help us understand<br />
and reduce the carbon footprint of<br />
our garments, and only work with<br />
factories with water treatment plants.<br />
WE KEEP PUSHING FOR NEW<br />
SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES<br />
AT OUR HQ IN BELGIUM<br />

co-fund electric bikes for our HQ staff,<br />
