It uses renewable energy in its supply chain to reduce its climate impact. It has a limited production run to minimise textile waste. Its use of eco-friendly materials reduces its climate impact and limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.

It is unclear whether it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain. Its final stage of production is audited by Business Social Compliance Initiative Code of Conduct - BSCI.
