All Good Things
All Good Things is building a more sustainable retail concept based on the premise of no new production. Instead, their stores offer pre-loved pieces, repaired garments and end-of-line stock from premium brand partners. By giving unsold clothing a second chance to be bought brand new, and pre-loved clothing a new life, All Good Things reduces the amount of unworn clothing that ends up in landfill.
Celtic & Co.
Celtic & Co. is a pioneering retailer of ethically sourced, natural and sustainable knitwear, footwear and outerwear. They work with British designers and manufacturers to keep their supply chain as local as possible and further reduce their environmental impact. This more thoughtful approach to clothing has increasingly resonated with consumers, and they have built a significant customer base both in the UK and internationally.
Frugi
Frugi was created to show the world that you can create a great brand whilst upholding strong ethical and environmental values. Over 18 years later, it is the UK’s leading ethical and organic children’s clothing brand, found globally in over 550 retailers across 30 countries. Throughout their collections, they use only organic cotton grown by farmers they trust, and their outerwear is made from recycled plastic bottles.
OneStock
OneStock’s leading distributed order management system enables its clients to reduce carbon emissions and waste across their entire supply chains. The technology accurately calculates the carbon footprint of each available delivery option and displays it online to allow consumers to make greener choices, and then intelligently orchestrates the order to minimise emissions. OneStock also sponsors Responsible Commerce research at the University of Toulouse.
Turtle Doves
Turtle Doves only uses post-consumer textile waste to create beautiful new garments and accessories. All of their products are manufactured in the United Kingdom from recycled cashmere, using discarded or donated woollens to produce a range including fingerless gloves, leg and wrist warmers, beanie hats and more. On the back of accelerating consumer interest in truly sustainable fashion, the brand achieved record figures in 2022.
