What is sustainable corporate workwear anyway?

 

Here is how we’re making a difference

The Environment

We are dedicated to reducing, reusing, and recycling throughout our production processes. Our team consistently prioritises the planet’s resources, incorporating environmental mindfulness into every task we undertake. Our goal is to leave a lighter footprint on our world.

Minimising Waste

We strive to minimise waste generation in all our operations. Any waste or byproducts from our manufacturing processes are diligently recycled or repurposed. We collaborate with community members who rely on recycling to generate income, ensuring our waste benefits local economies. Additionally, our packaging exclusively uses recyclable materials, underscoring our commitment to a circular economy.

Energy Consumption

Renewable energy is at the heart of our energy strategy. With over 300 solar panels installed, we harness clean energy to power our operations. We have replaced all lighting with energy-efficient bulbs and upgraded our machinery to only use energy-efficient sewing machines, significantly reducing our carbon footprint.

 

 

Water Management

We responsibly manage our water consumption, employing JoJo tanks to conserve water for operational needs. This proactive approach ensures that we are prepared for any water shortages, safeguarding our production processes while prioritising environmental conservation.

Quality and Longevity

Our commitment to sustainability extends to the quality of our products. We manufacture premium apparel from long-lasting materials, meticulously sourcing fabrics locally and internationally to meet diverse client needs. Extensive wearer trials ensure our products offer exceptional durability and comfort, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimising waste.

Community Support

As a proudly South African company, we prioritise social responsibility by supporting and developing the local economy. We are dedicated to uplifting and empowering the communities in which we operate, fostering growth and resilience through various initiatives.

 

 

Corporate Social Investment (CSI)

Our CSI efforts are centered on uplifting underprivileged community members. We provide free uniforms to non-profit organisations, supply fabrics to disadvantaged sewing schools, and create memorable experiences for abused or underprivileged children. These initiatives reflect our deep commitment to making a positive impact in our country.

Transformation

We are committed to driving workplace transformation, evidenced by our Level 4 BBBEE status. With 51.06% black ownership and 30.64% black female ownership, we actively promote diversity and inclusion within our organisation, contributing to a more equitable industry.

Training and Development

Our training and development programs cater to previously disadvantaged, disabled, or unemployed individuals seeking higher learning opportunities in our industry. Extensive learnership programs empower our staff, enhancing their skills and opening new pathways for career advancement.

Staff Wellness

We prioritise the well-being of our employees by providing comprehensive health insurance coverage and ongoing internal training opportunities. This investment in our workforce ensures they have the support and resources needed to thrive both professionally and personally.
