Here’s to leading the change by going gorgeously green, consciously responsible and setting bold goals.

By 2022, 100% of our PACKAGING will be made from sustainable sources.
All our tags and carry bags will be made from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper. All our polybags, gift wrapping paper and corrugation boxes will be made from recycled material.

By 2025, more than 70% of Globaldesi clothing & 65% of AND clothing will be from sustainable fabrics.
Our garments will be made from sustainable and responsibly-sourced raw materials.

We will ensure that our supply chain partners make our processes of dyeing, printing and water consumption more sustainable. We also aim to recycle, re-use and compost our textile waste.
