In late December, after many years' work on and off, we finally submitted our BCorps application. Click the link to find out more if you don't know about it, it's a fast-growing movement to make business a force for good through transparency. All that leg work enables me to share with your our positive impact in 2021, which I will continue going forward on an annual basis. So in 2021:
Thank you for supporting us to continue improving and being the best we can.
- We potentially saved 41kgs of conventional bras, briefs and basics from landfill by botanically circular products
- Based on this research, we've potentially saved 1.7kgs of micro-plastics from our oceans through laundering, because our products are plastic-free
- We've doubled our spend with Social Venture Avenue Co-working, becoming our hub's largest client. This means more participants can engage in order fulfilment work and Avenue can reach a wider audience of people with disabilities, further spreading its positive effect on this community
- 56% of our materials were purchased by female-founded businesses
- 100% of our materials purchased had either GOTS, Cradle to Cradle or Oeko Tex certification
- 17% of our manufacturing costs were spent here in Sydney and 100% of our services costs in Australia
- As well as a $1 donation per sale, over 50 pro-bono hours were donated
- We moved to a BCorps Bank - Bank Australia - customer owned, responsible banking committed to a positive impact
Thank you for supporting us to continue improving and being the best we can.
