Sustainability Policy
Thom Bennett
Last Update 2 years ago
Thom Bennett Bespoke (“TBB”) is committed to providing a World-class bespoke tailoring service that is sustainable and aims to minimise the environmental impacts of its operations.
Bespoke means specially made for a particular customer, thus no mass production.
Our bespoke garments are hand-made by skilled cutters and tailors, on the Company’s premises in Bristol, thus no labour exploitation. Our partners and suppliers are carefully selected to the same standards as our in-house workers. Our garments last a lifetime and are sometimes even handed down to the next generation for which the Company provides an alteration service.
To meet our sustainable commitment, the Company will:
- Provide reasonable efforts to comply with all relevant environmental legislation;
- Take actions to reduce the carbon footprint of our activities, and ensure our services are able to adapt to environmental change;
- Adopt best operational practices to reduce the environmental impacts of TBB’s activities and policies, by:
- Monitoring, managing and minimising TBB’s use of energy and water
- Minimising the environmental impact of associated travel with our venues and business
- Minimising the amount of waste produced by TBB to encourage greater reuse in recycling
Ensuring environmental criteria are taken into account in the procurement of goods and services;
- Encourage and develop our employees and partners to conduct their activities in an environmentally responsible manner.
To ensure the Company meets the above commitments, we undertake to periodically monitor and review our environmental performance and take corrective action where necessary.
This policy will be reviewed annually.
