PLANET
Environmental and Social Governance
We are committed to reducing our negative footprint and actively contributing to the restoration and
regeneration of ecosystems and communities. We aim to create a positive and lasting influence on the
environment and society, embodying a holistic approach that goes beyond sustainability to foster
regenerative practices.
We are committed to the protection of the environment and reducing the impact of the business on the
natural world. Our initiatives minimize the environmental impact of our business while maximising our
social responsibility and striving for a regenerative impact.
We ensure environmental issues, including climate change, are considered in the operation of our
business and the procurement of goods and services. We are proud to be a demand driven luxury
manufacturer, weaving to order to meet customer demand, without producing unwanted stock.
These requirements are an integral part of every decision that we make. We believe in a responsible approach to
product development, manufacturing, material supply and transportation – for example through reduced energy
consumption, improved resource conservation and minimising our waste, carbon, and water footprints .
Our Responsibility
The responsibility steering group coordinates our sustainable development and environmental activity. The
company has an appointed environmental management representative within a wider safety, health, and
environment committee.
The environmental management team is specifically responsible for ensuring best practice throughout the
company and that the company meets or exceeds all current and future European and national
environmental legislative and regulatory requirements. It encourages and develops our employees,
partners and stakeholders to conduct their activities in an environmentally responsible manner.
Details of our Environmental General Arrangements (EGA) and Safe Operating Instructions (SOI) can be
found within the Environmental Management System (EMS), which outlines company procedures related
to best environmental practice. The accompanying EMS manual acts as an overview, including our policy
and commitment, general responsibilities of the company for the implementation of the policy.
The environmental performance team monitors, measures and takes action to reduce the carbon footprint
of our activities and ensures our buildings and services can adapt to environmental change. The EPT
monitors, manages and minimises our use of energy and water, and the amount of waste produced by us
and partners to encourage greater reuse in recycling.
