“We partner with Stanley/Stella an innovative Belgian apparel company producing premium clothing for printing and decorating and our goal is to contribute to a fully sustainable supply chain. This webpages show our commitments and the steps we are taking to improve our supply chain for a healthier planet and happier people. We like to ‘say what we do and do what we say’, as we believe that sustainability is first and foremost a question of commitment and transparency.

OUR COMMITMENTS

Placing focus on sustainability is no longer an option, it’s a must. 
At Leafy Key, sustainability  is  part  of  our  core  values  and  is  fully  integrated  in  our  business  culture. We believe that a fairer and more sustainable fashion industry is possible and  that  it’s  our  shared  responsibility  to  continuously  improve  how  we  create  and operate. From  the  cotton  field  to  our  collection,  to  how  we  manage  our  waste,  our  objective  is  always  to  act  with  transparency  for  people,  our  planet,  and  for  society. 

CHOOSING OUR MATERIALS CONSCIOUSLY

Fibre  selection  has  a  considerable  impact  on  how  long  a  garment  will  last  and how easily it can be recycled. This defines both the product quality and its  environmental  footprint.
By  choosing  the  highest  quality  raw  materials,  there is less need to blend them with other fibres. However,  no  material  is  perfect  and  there  are  many  trade-offs  to  be  made  in   finding   the   best   solution.   For   example,   to   give   our   products   more   stability  and  longevity,  we  sometimes  need  to  incorporate  synthetic  fibres.  At  all  times,  we  make  conscious,  carefully  weighed  decisions  about  which  materials to use.

MINIMIZING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, clearing forests, and cultivating land for agricultural use contribute to climate change by emitting CO2 and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) that are devastating for the earth. At Leafy Key, we recognise that we have a responsibility to mitigate and reduce  our  impact  on  the  environment,  and  we  place  a  specific  focus  on  CO2 emissions across our supply chain and on water use.
