WHAT SUSTAINABILITY MEANS TO US
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that sustainability means creating high- quality, long-lasting products while minimising our negative impact and enhancing the positive impact we can have on people and the planet. Our made-to- measure business model is designed to minimise waste and overproduction, and we are committed to craftsmanship that embraces sustainability.
OUR IMPACT AREAS
We have set targets for our key impact areas, and we are measuring our progress to drive continuous improvement.
ENVIRONMENT
CARBON EMISSIONS
It is of importance to Scabal that we demonstrate a
commitment to sustainable practices by measuring our
carbon emissions and transitioning to more efficient
operations to reduce our footprint. We have modelled
science-based near-term emissions reduction targets to
reduce our Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 2030 from a 2021
baseline, in line with industry best practice and climate
science.
ENVIRONMENT
WASTE
Waste in the fashion industry is a significant challenge. Approximately 75% of total fashion waste globally is landfilled or incinerated, and 10% of the global textile market is composed of recycled materials. Scabal group are committed to a low-waste business model, and we already encourage responsible consumption and a slow- fashion approach. However, we acknowledge there is more that can be done. In 2021, we calculated our waste emissions, and will be using this as a baseline going forward to better understand how we can create sustainable waste practices.
SOURCING
MATERIALS
We believe that sustainable and ethical sourcing is the foundation of our quality and craftmanship. We are focused on improving how we source raw materials for our own mill as well as others within our supply chain, so that we can continue to create beautiful, high quality products that are made with the planet and its people in mind.
OUR
PEOPLE
Our ambition is to provide a safe, healthy and positive working environment where our colleagues feel respected, valued and empowered to thrive at what they do. We are committed to value diversity and inclusion, investing in the personal development of our colleagues. It is not just the right thing to do, but it also helps drive innovation and creativity that help differentiate us in the market.
