WHY MEASURE IMPACT?
Impact measuring enables us as an organization to set our goals, account our performance and indicate the social and environmental contribution of our actions which has helped us to create greater credibility with all stakeholders. In essence it enables us to explain what we are doing, how we are doing it and if it is in line with our sustainable objectives. As a social business, it also enables us to evaluate and strategise to achieve our big bold vision to design a better future.
HOW ARE WE MEASURING IMPACT?
We have developed sustainable KPI’s that reflects and align on our ethos and business objectives.
3,862 kgs
textile waste recovered for upcycling
As our main resource is pre-consumer waste (mainly textiles), we measure all the textile waste we recover which would have ended up either in landfills or incinerated.
36,828
products produced through upcycling
We also take into account the products we have designed and made (upcycled) highlighting how we’ve used the recovered waste resources and the emissions saved.
16,912
people directly influenced through talks, workshops and knowledge sharing
Alongside our environment impact we also collect data on outreach in awareness building, through our workshops, talks, forums and online planforms where we are able to speak to people about the concept of upcycling, sustainability and circularity in fashion.
