We don’t do excuses. We build for a better future. We create with responsibility at the core.
THE CHANGE WE WANT TO BE
Our growth journey has been driven by unparalleled creativity and a sense of pride & community around our garments. Yet, we are aware of the negative impacts that the fashion industry has yet to tackle.
In 2022, we onboarded many talented team members bringing a wealth of experience and fresh motivation to help us restructure our activities, and clarify our ambition for the future. Along with the support from our customers and partners, we have been able to start a radical path towards change, staying true to our company DNA whilst taking pride in our position within the fashion industry.
Our 2025 Sustainability Strategy has been brought to life through the education, and existing skills & mindset within our departments and teams. We know the success of the strategy lies in our capacity to own and apply it in the every day. Our focus is to identify key actions to implement now, so that change does not become an empty promise but an immediate reachable plan.
We are proud to present our Sustainability Agenda for 2025, a beacon that helps us make the right decisions everyday, and that aligns our operations and business ambitions, with our values and vision.
Innovation for change
We want to help innovations reach their potential faster. We dare trying new ways, materials and technologies to foster change, starting with us.
We nurture transformational ideas and technologies within our teams and partners, and we accept failure as being part of the process.
+ BETTER FIT WITH CLO 3D
Since 2022, we started working with CLO, a 3D software that allows us to test the fit of a garment in 3D before placing prototype request.
From 1st proto, the garment looks great, and we often can use directly!
Less samples, less waste!
PARTNER WITH UNIVERSITIES
2023 was an intense year for collaboration where we started new research partnerships and intensified recurring work with key partners.
Always exploring options to be smarter together, we have used 2023 as a base year to implement new collaborative work.
MADE WITH CIRCULOSE
We publish this report in a very special context, as we just heard the news of our partner Circulose filing for bankruptcy.
Our story with Circulose started in 2022, when we contacted one of our key supplier, to talk them into incorporating Circulose in our collections.
We did not limit to a PR event with a capsule or a design that does not reach market: in less than 9 months, Circulose joined our collections and has now become a recurring fiber in our ROTATE collections.
We developed 5 fabric bases with Circulose, and 18 styles in 2023, and sold almost 5500 garments made with Circulose viscose blend.
We hope Circulose will survive this crisis. Times are challenging for fashion material innovations, but we are firm believers in regenerated and circular fashion. We will keep on onboarding partners to try and integrate innovations directly in our collections.
Power to the people
We want to be a respectful and trustworthy partner and employer. Each of our stakeholders has a unique voice that we recognize, empower and celebrate, with a special focus on women rights and fights. We want to help people blossom and bring their unique self to our collective.
+ 100% TRAINED EMPLOYEES
In 2023 our priority has been on developing clear and transparent HR activities to develop our teams. More than 20 different training sessions were organized during the year as a direct response to internal demand.
COLLECTIONS UP TO SIZE 46
Since 2023, our collections are available from size 32 up to size 46.
After years of marketing focus to make bigger sizes visible in fashion, we are so happy to be able to offer our collections in larger sizes too.
We have also integrated an amazing fitting tool in our ecommerce websites to support our customers find the best size for their figure.
+18 POINTS WITH BETTER BUYING
In 2022, we joined the Better buyingTM initiative to allow our suppliers to anonymously rate our purchasing practices. Thanks to an intense commitment of our teams, we implemented the Five Principles of Responsible PurchasingTM in our agreements and reshaped our processes. In one year, our performance has increased by 18 pts showing a stronger feeling of respect and trust.
Reshaping business, to rethink our future
Every day and every action counts to protect the future of our planet and our own existence. From the 1st design idea, we have launched an ambitious training program that focuses on immediate impact decrease and support of local initiatives.
- Design for sustainability
A new training program of all our teams to understand our ambition and transform it into short-term changes with a focus on circular design, sourcing of preferred material and phasing out waste. - Stop resource depletion and pollution
Strict implementation of new production guideline including AFIRM chemical restricted list, and no virgin material objectives. On top of planned training on microplastic, we aim, by 2025, to deliver life-cycle assessments of our key styles. - Fight climate change
From 2023, we will report our carbon emissions and build objectives of reduction on our 3 scopes. New internal policies will be deployed to challenge our purchase and operations accordingly. We aim to join SBTI by 2025. - Build resilient supply chain
We want to support our key suppliers improve their resilience to climate change and social tensions that are arising everywhere. - Give back to the planet
From 2023, every year we will give time to the planet by supporting local projects focusing on environmental sustainability.
POLICIES
Since 2022, we have been very busy scaling the company up within our new business model and move to being a fashion collective.
Building new processes, testing them and continuously improving them has been a big part of the growth consolidation.
We want to keep the agility of the “old” start-up we were, while providing transparent and clear rules and expectations for our partners and our employees.
Our policies, procedures and guidelines support the onboarding and training of our stakeholders to ensure respect of our commitments.
