We are thrilled and humbled in equal measure to receive a sustainability leadership award from Common Objective. Dedicated to building a community of like-minded people in a world where business works better for everyone and our planet, the Common Objective platform matches people with the tools required to create responsible and sustainable businesses.

The rise of sustainable consumerism

In a retail environment where consumer knowledge around sustainability and ethics is more in depth than it has ever been, the CO Leadership Awards celebrate ambition for, and commitment to, great business practices that transform lives - and solve environmental challenges.

We are proud to be part of a growing collective of businesses that place people, purpose and planet at the heart of everything we do.

Our impact

We pride ourselves on our business model, which is built upon our re-imagining of indigenous skills that have been passed down from generation to generation to create long-term positive impact and sustainable livelihoods within the communities that most rely upon them.

We are a positive impact brand that reflects a new generation of social entrepreneurs, driven by a mission to re-define the concept of luxury, while balancing both people and purpose. You can read more about our impact here.
